Turns out there is no "health benefit" to "feeling good".

What is going on in this thread

I shower every night before bed because it's nice, helps me relax, and I feel greasy if I don't. My wife showers once a week because that's what works for her. Do what you want.

Hexbear is like the online version of that midwestern lesbian bar - Excluding me of course, I'm cool.

Everyone here seems to believe body odour is universally a bad thing that's objectively disgusting. Smells are mostly conditioning, Europeans will delight themselves smelling cheeses that would make Asian people puke, we add literal rotten sour grapes to every single salad we eat, and fuck, the smell of WET CARDBOARD induces hunger into people because we're conditioned to associate it with pizza in a cardboard delivery box. My ex used to sniff my balls after sweaty days because she loved the smell and my current girlfriend finds it nice to smell my armpits in the morning, and I'll have you know her pussy smells of heaven to me.

Normalizing body odour does not mean "well, unfortunately it's a natural thing, so we should just shut up and deal with stinky people for the rest of history", it means "once people get used to a certain degree of body odour on each other we won't notice it and/or consider it a bad thing, and it would imply benefits for skincare for many". Nobody is trying to implement a fucking shower ban, shower as much as you want, there is simply a diversity of people with a diversity of bodies who smell more, smell less, and have different skins which require different routines.

This take is objectively correct, and whoever disagrees because "ew" is a child who refuses to critically examine social conditioning on themselves.

Well shit, so do I get back in the shower to unclean myself now?

showering is virtue signalling

This whole line of argument takes it as a given that no one should be cleaner than medically necessary. Bathe you dirty animals! Don't you like to feel clean? Isn't the grime itchy? Much of modernity sucks shit actually but modern sanitation and hygiene are genuine triumphs over the conditions of the past! Use them!
