There are many couples or couples who choose to take a bath together, feeling that it can enhance the emotional connection between both parties, enjoy the common relaxation time, and strengthen the Physical intimacy between each other.However,From a health perspective, sometimes we don't recommend men and women taking baths togetherBecause this is not as beautiful as imagined

There are many couples or couples who choose to take a bath together, feeling that it can enhance the emotional connection between both parties, enjoy the common relaxation time, and strengthen the Physical intimacy between each other.

However,From a health perspective, sometimes we don't recommend men and women taking baths togetherBecause this is not as beautiful as imagined.

Below are four reasons for persuasion that we have sorted out.

01

Less solitary bathing time

Being busy with work and socializing every day inevitably leads to physical and mental exhaustion, while being alone can provide a quiet environment that allows people to organize their thoughts, relax their body and mind, and regain vitality. Reading is a form of solitude, but taking a shower is also a form of solitude.

But if we take a shower together, the joy of being alone will be lost.

Imagine taking care of each other when taking a shower together - "hand me the shower gel," "help me rub my back," and "let me use the water," isn't it quite exhausting?

If you are alone, you can take a shower at your own pace without anyone bothering you. You can indulge in daydreaming and letting yourself go, or you can sing your song. Research has shown that,Bathing can reduce stress related hormones, help relax, and even improve symptoms of depression.

Besides, many people hope thatPreserve a certain amount of privacy and personal spaceNot necessarily willing to share with others. This kind of thing may be taking a shower, or it may be something else, such as picking teeth, picking nostrils, or picking feet.

02

Double bathing, efficiency value 1+1<1

If it's a shower with only one shower, then a double shower may require queuing. One person is happily rinsing, while the other person can only stand by and stare blankly. Especially in winter, the situation may be even worse because another person may shiver with cold. If that's the case,Double bathing affects the efficiency and comfort of bathingIt has become an unpleasant experience.

More importantly, when taking a shower for two, should we first wash each other or ourselves? Not well done, this may be a 'sending proposition'. It is not ruled out that there may be a situation where the other party requests help to apply fragrance and take a bath, but the bath is not satisfactory, and in the end, they have to self check and make up for any deficiencies, which is equivalent to taking two baths. Isn't it very uneconomical?

Additionally,Everyone may have different bathing habits

03

Who the final say the bath temperature?

Unfortunately, this is not an exam question and there is no standard answer,Everyone's water temperature and comfort zone may vary.

On the one hand, some people prefer hot showers and hope that the hot air covers their entire body; However, some people do not like high temperatures and may even worry about getting burned. They prefer warm or cool bath water to awaken their senses and make them refreshing.

On the other hand,Individuals also have physiological differences in their perception of temperature. We may think that the bath water is warm, but the other party may think that the same water temperature is boiling hot.

This individual difference may lead to conflicts during the bathing process, either one person compromises and the other person is burned or frozen as a result; Either two people negotiate and compromise with each other, but both feel that the water temperature is different. In the end, an inappropriate water temperature may disrupt both parties' enjoyment of bathing, and someone may be eager to finish washing and leave the bathroom early.

04

Another reason why it is not recommended to take a shower together isWet floors are very dangerous, especially when moving in narrow spaces.
