Is cold shower just a meme???

I've been doing it for 2months and I recently started with full cold from the beginning, and it makes me fucking anxious, I cough and gag even before I step in also when I'm in the shower. It kinda wakes me up but I'm anxious after and I feel like I have no desire for sex and life feels mundane. I switched back to hot water for a day at night and when I got to sleep I get so horny and my penis got actually hard for porn once again. I also feel less motivation to excercise. Maybe cold shower just raises my cortisol level too freaking much. Also the lack of study on the effect of cold on humans really makes me question if this is actually good for me or not, I consider quitting at this point. Anyone experienced this?

Optimal shower routine:

1) Put water on a comfy temperature
2) Wash hair, wash body, scrub hard
3) Put water to as hot as you can handle and stand underneath for 10-20 seconds
4) Turn off hot water completely, turn up cold
5) Wash your body once-over with the cold water

Cold water closes your pores, so your current situation means you aren't washing yourself properly; Nothing is penetrating your skin.

With the method above, you will clean your skin while it is hot and your pores will be closed at the end. One advantage to this method is that your towel will not get as wet.

Cold is bad for humans, and should be avoided, it is a fucking meme. There is more harm doing it than actually positive benefits.

Nah, you'll turn into this guy if you do it.

I read it on wordpress.

i do it because that wht my ancestor evolve to do hehe

I start with warm water and slowly turn it colder until a nice refreshing cool flows over my body. Fels a fuckton more relaxing than anything else and gives me energy for the morning.

Cold is great for humans. The benefits of a Scottish Shower far outweigh any downsides.

Retard, living in a cold environment isn't the same as a 15 minute shower.

Sure blasting your head with cold shower is good for the brain, lol, enjoy your destroyed braincels.Also no erection for days cus the blood will flow into cores and your head.

this is 100% correct and the only way to take a shower, especially after a workout.

>closing pores
just kill yourself mate or read a book for once

I thought washing with hot water damages hair

All I know is that alternating between hot and cold does wonders for your circulation
If you can, use the sauna then jump into a cold bath, it's amazing

Not washing your hair everyday will do more damage. I'm balding and loss has slowed considerably since washing daily.

Reminder that this is the person telling you not to take cold showers.

>that sexy short italian boy

Cold showers makes me feel good, so I do them.

I start with warm, wash myself pretty good, and end it by turning it right to the coldest setting and shower for about 2 minutes.

I kinda like it, but I doubt that this will mean anything in the long term regarding mental and physical gains.

If you are white, you body is a direct result of isolated evolution to combat the cold, if anything, we are built for cold environments. Dickhead
