    Other people don’t just shower together for fun? Shower sex is awful, but tandem showering is lovely. Even used to shower with roommates back in the days.

      The wife and I do it. Shower sex is awful sex, but showers that involve naked chatting with someone I enjoy talking to and being naked with rule

      I miss having a long term partner because I fucking loved having someone to give my back a proper scrub. I felt like a snake shedding my skin. I have a loofah on a stick now, but it’s not the same.

      I’d shower with my youngest (son) from time to time as long as we’re both still comfortable with it. My oldest has grown past that tho.

      I used to shower with my wife but she would hog the water and have it on way, way too hot for my liking. It wasn’t an enjoyable experience for me. I’d just have to try to get her to finish up quick so I can go and tend to myself alone.

        Thanks for reminding me of some great memories showering with my dad. We would have these like endurance contests with the cold water lol.

        With my partner I kind of squish myself against the wall so we have the water pouring between us. But you’re right it’s not as easy as just trending to yourself.

    The late astronomer and author Carl Sagan was a secret but avid marijuana smoker, crediting it with inspiring essays and scientific insight, according to Sagan’s biographer.

    Using the pseudonym ‘Mr. X’, Sagan wrote about his pot smoking in an essay published in the 1971 book Reconsidering Marijuana. The book’s editor, Lester Grinspoon, recently disclosed the secret to Sagan’s biographer, Keay Davidson.

    Davidson, a writer for the San Francisco Examiner, revealed the marijuana use in an article published in the newspaper’s magazine Sunday. Carl Sagan: A Life is due out in October.

    “I find that today a single joint is enough to get me high… in one movie theater recently I found I could get high just by inhaling the cannabis smoke which permeated the theatre,” wrote Sagan, who authored popular science books such as Cosmos, Contact, and The Dragons of Eden.

    In the essay, Sagan said marijuana inspired some of his intellectual work.

    “I can remember one occasion, taking a shower with my wife while high, in which I had an idea on the origins and invalidities of racism in terms of gaussian distribution curves,” wrote the former Cornell University professor. “I wrote the curves in soap on the shower wall, and went to write the idea down.”

    Sagan also wrote that pot enhanced his experience of food, particularly potatoes, as well as music and sex.

    Grinspoon, Sagan’s closest friend for 30 years, said Sagan’s marijuana use is evidence against the notion that marijuana makes people less ambitious.

    “He was certainly highly motivated to work, to contribute,” said Grinspoon, a psychiatry professor at Harvard University.

    Grinspoon is an advocate of decriminalizing marijuana.

    Ann Druyan, Sagan’s former wife, is a director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. The nonprofit group promotes legalization of marijuana.

    Sagan died of pneumonia in 1996. He was 62.

          Since shower water is a mixture of hot and cold, tank size, tank temperature, and cold water temperature are the predominant factors, at least initially.

          For a given shower temperature, hot water consumption rate will increase at an exponential rate until tank temperature falls to shower temperature, then shower temperature will fall.

            We were making sexual innuendos, not having a real conversation on water heater capabilities.

            Anyway instantaneous (in-line) heaters exist, I’ve got a 35-year old one, never runs out of water, it doesn’t have a tank.
