i love my showers. i take two per day, once in the morning and once before bed. on the other hand, i take very quick showers ; between 5 and 10 minutes is usually enough, depending on whether i'm washing my hair or not. i do sometimes spend a bit of time soaking under a hot shower after sports, it feels good on sore muscles and i just can't resist that delicious sensation. of couse, what i *really* would like in those cases is a hot bath. but sadly, i've got no bathtub.
