 The Nix Shower Body Effect
No, not Axe. Nix As in forget to take a shower and see what happens.

I figure since influx wrote about kissing(and I am sure others have written about other bodily or cleanliness or sexual functions), I'd write a lil ditty about a "fascinating" phenomena I have discovered regarding the shower

Now, this may not seem ground-breaking. It might make your skin crawl. It might make you say "ew!". But, I have unraveled a strange twist of fate based on how I bathe.

Normally, if I didn't shower in high school one night, someone might say something the next day. Especially if I had gym class or a really nerve-biting day that made me break a sweat(usually any day I ran into an attractive girl). It wasn't life-shattering. But, occasionally someone would whisper, "Psst. Dude. Did you forget to shower last night?" Horrifying, no?

But, recently, this situation has reversed itself. It is almost Twilight Zone worthy.

I have found that on days after I miss a shower, people treat me more nicely! And, they approach me more often without reproach! I feel like crap. My skin is likely crawling, and I am itching my back. And, yet, people are responding to me as if I sprayed myself with some sort of magical Axe product. Weird, ay?

Now, on the flipside, the days after I shower, people have NOT been so nice and seem to fear I will have an adverse reaction.
Like today. I felt fresh. And, yet, people acted as if I was some homicidal maniac or predator. They were afraid to speak and thought I was not friendly at all. I could see it. Felt it. I might as well have been covered with acid sweat or spiked skin.

And, despite the fact, I myself was not feeling so hot. Now, that's got me thinking, too. How is it not getting a shower in leaves me feeling worse? It is as if, when I shower, I wash away all my self-assurance, comfort and confidence. I lose some sort of aura and feel naked though I am fully clothed. Explain that.

So, don't start gossiping that brainstormer doesn't shower like a normal person. Though, could I stop you if you did? I'm just sharing a strange recent experience. Talks amongst yourselves:P I'll give you a topic. Duran Duran is neither a Duran nor a Duran...discuss.

Maybe it's your soap or shampoo or gasp! cologne? I always feel more confident showered-definately find myself avoiding a hug when I am not so fresh. Living in New Orleans in the summer is challenging. If you go outside you are going to sweat buckets-no way around it.
Chemistry: men release ferons (sp?) when they sweat. Some men's sweat I find attractive-others, repulsive. I think that is part of the chemisty between two individuals that has been around as long as humans walked around. If I guy hides his smell I can't tell if I'm attracted to him or not. Not that I want him to stop showering-but I don't like the smell of too much aftershave.
Besides, sweaty sex is the best:)

Why do they seem to be nicer to you when you missed shower the night before? Perhaps you are loaded with pheromones:) Ha! They reckon when you sweat, your body also releases this chemical that supposedly attracts the opposite sex.

BUT THEN AGAIN! Sweating from fresh clean body is always the answer! I agree with singsforyou, that daily shower is a "must". I even shower twice a day in the summer when the weather is stinking hot. They say that healthy fresh sweat itself has no offensive smell, it is only when people don't clean themselves regularly and properly, the bacteria will make themselves at home by feeding on the sweat and it is the cause of nasty body odour.

Yes it is true, nothing better than sex straight after a shower on a balmy night with some one you love :o)

Oh one more thing.... wearing clean clothes (especially the undies) everyday is very important along with daily shower/bath :)

Twice a day? And, the Aussies wonder why there's a water shortage/concern:P

Hey, I only do it when the weather is over 40 deg.C. We save a lot of water by collecting rain water from the gutter for watering my garden.

Anyway, one day if we run out of water, I can go to your place and have my shower there knowing that you don't do it every day. Ha.....

Very funny:P Yea, you can use my shower:P But, I can't promise I won't do anything to ya when you do:P

OK, first...Duran Duran is neither Duran nor Duran, he's an ASS.
Just kidding....Sort of...

Secondly, NOT SHOWERING.......GROSS!!!

However, when you do shower and ppl give you grief, it's because you
have washed all of your "moxy" away. See usually, I could just see you
telling them to go and F**K themselves. Hahahaha.

Just my thoughts here on this one.

Uh...dunno what you were drinking or smoking, funnyman...but I'd never say that to anyone. Not my style. Honestly, of all posts, what drew you to THIS one?:P

And, what is with the obsession with post-shower sex, people??:P That's not what this was about:P

Might be you put on too much cologne after a shower or your soap/shampoo just smells bad. Or your natural smell is more of a turn on. Who knows. Maybe people just see the unshowered you as more natural and approachable. Why don't you just ask someone? Or do an experiment with new soap/shampoo/no extra cologne etc. and see how people react.

I FIRMLY believe that a daily shower is a must. Even if its just a quick shower. Seriously. Even if you cant tell if you smell or not, others can. As for people being nice to you when you are scruffy, chalk that up to they might think you are homeless and feel a little sorry for ya. Hehehe

:O B#tch! :P So rude;p I oughta.... You'll get yours:P
Posted by  brainstormer  on 2009-07-03 19:27:29 
  
Haha... you should not call your best friend a bad word like that. At least not without proof to back it up. Besides, you know I am an advocate of showers. Fresh and clean trumps unfresh and stinky every time! *hugs*
Posted by  heatherslife  on 2009-07-04 00:13:34 
  
We don't want no stinky boys 'round here. Getcher butt in the shower!! I don't care if they like you better smelly at work. I happen to have a scratch 'n' sniff monitor and I can tell who's clean and who's not! So there! :P

I'll keep that in mind, Bootsie Clean:P

It happened again today...freshly showered me seemed to put people off. And, I wasn't the most receptive either. I feared things would get ugly.
