Is it normal to not like showering sometimes?

When I am not sweating a lot and when I am inside my house most of the day I feel like skipping showering. Is that normal? The longest I've gone without showering was 5 days.

    5 days is nothing.

    The way I see it, you mostly shower to wash your own smell off so people don't think you stink. If you aren't actually going to meet anyone that day, there's no point in showering unless you're actually dirty.

    Since you say the longest you've gone is 5 days, I'm assuming most of the time you do this it's only for 1 or 2 days. Going a day or two without showering means absolutely nothing and no one is going to notice.

    Surprised this post got so many No votes. Is it really that taboo not to shower when you're just going to be lazing about on the couch?

      "The way I see it, you mostly shower to wash your own smell off so people don't think you stink." And so you don't get skin infections. Hygiene is v important for health

    showering daily is actually unhygienic because it weakens your body's natural defenses agains germs and bacteria

    people who down voted are probably brainwashed Americans. In american culture we think showering every day (even multiple times a day) is necessary. It's not, and it's not even healthy.

    I usually just shower once a week, so nothing wrong with that.

    I shower on hot days but take a bath everyday, its my me time, my dream girl would be one who did not shower or bath for a week her smells ie pheromones would be mind blowing, to be able to taste her skin and holes after a week could be a massive turn on.

    showering every day is bad for your skin and does not promote hygiene, it hinders it.

    Kind of gross to be honest. There's a guy at my place of work who smells like dead rats and cheese and his hair is full of grease. Someone suggested he showered and he said he showers when he wants to which is every 7 days. I actually hate people who don't care about their hygiene and find it disgusting.
