Is it normal to take scalding hot showers

Let me preface this by saying I naturally run cold. Whenever I take a shower or bath it has to be HOT! Almost where the hot/cold handle is all the way to hot, anything less and I'm cold. Also I feel that unless it is really hot all the germs aren't killed, I know when you wash many are being washed off. I do however do a cold shot of water to my face and hair after I'm done washing it because it's good for you skin/hair. Anyways my boyfriend or exes for that matter will/would never shower with me because they say it burns their skin. Is it normal to have to take scalding hot showers?

    I guess it's normal. My girlfriend takes showers very hot. I put a thermometer in the bathroom when she took one. One time. it was 65 when she got in there 98 when she got out. Note room temperatures not water.

    When I get out of the shower or bath, my skin is beet red and insanely puffy. I just have to have it super hot. Just make sure you're using lotion afterwards, it really does a number on your skin.

    yes it's normal every woman i know does it. I used to hate bathing with my ex cause she would have it so hot your testicles would take fright and your digger would be half way up your colon.

    I also love taking very hot showers. I get out and the whole bathroom is fogged and humid beyond belief. I guess I'm good to go because I use body lotion after every shower and drink mostly water in the evening, lol.

    hot water dries out your skin and actually draws moisture out of your body so its quite dehydrating. it opens the hair cutical and can make your hair frizzier.
    splashing down with cold water may fix the hair problem but your going to have to chug a large glass of water and douse yourself in lotion for this practice to be unharmful :)

    Many people enjoy water hotter than others can tolerate just be careful not too hot as you can damage your dermas layer
