I take 4 showers a day because I hate the thought of being dirty. I make my boyfriend shower befor we go to bed or I will not sleep with him because I dont want to cuddle with someone who is dirty. Is it normal?
I think this counts as a type of obsessive compulsion. I have 2 friends with OCD, you might want to talk to a doctor or therapist about it, because if it gets worse, it can get tragic.
Perhaps, but dirty is subjective. It wasn't so long ago that people bathed once per year and still lived normal lives.
How clean can a person be? Is the ultimate aim that everyone has to live in the shower because a moment outside it means potential infection?
People also didn't use to brush their teeth. :P It's hard not to these days because of all the sugars, salts, preservatives, and syrups we pass through our mouth.
Being overly clean also means you're more prone to illness when exposed to normal germs. So being too clean can be bad for you.
True true, but try finding a girl who is happy to roll around in the woods with you because it's healthier to be exposed to natural stuff. One leaf in her hair and that's the end of that! *pout*
thats not good for your skin and sometimes if your feeling dirty wash your damn hands
Its better than the last post I just read about going down on someone with crabs.
I take 2. One in the morning at one after school. But 4? That's too much.
Four times is too much. Twice tops. I can relate to where you're coming from, I really can and I would say you do have a bit of OCD. Try this - half your showers to two a day. That would be a good starting point to gaining a bit more rationality as you'll see that NOTHING bad will happen. It's so hard to believe but the dirtiness is in your imagination. Even if you showered once a day you'd be absolutlely fine. As for requesting your boyfriend showers - honestly, unless he has been doing something mucky then it is a bit unfair on him. You're asking him to feel and act upon your fear with you. Your fear that is largely imagined. You can regain control of your slightly irrational thought pattern here, you just need to truly believe you can. Good luck.
PS// My husband is an automechanic and a country boy, and therefore nearly always filthy. I find his filthy manliness to be quite sexy.
Documentary. Watch it. Neow. ^_^
I never said I live in the shower. I dont like being dirty and some people dont wash there hands they might hug me after the jerk off ect. The thought of it makes me want to get in the shower to make sure im clean.
Are you that irresistable that people can't keep their hands off you?
Doesn't look like there would be any spontaneity with you if nothing can happen unless he just showered.
Would there be any time available, any time that you're not in the shower?
Do you come home at lunch or other break to take a shower?
Being too clean can damage the effectiveness of your immune system, and you will get sick easier and quicker.
AKA, "dirty" on the inside.
People who don't wash their hands after using the toilet (unless for poo residue) are often HEALTHIER than people who are germophobes.
Please evaluate yourself and your fear of harmless dirt... Then go watch the documentary "Dirt! the Movie".
