Cold when the room temp is too high/sweating
Warm when it's low/just got out of bed

Cold Showers my man. Better than coffee to wake up, helps your metabolism and recovery (eg after sport), may help with depression, reduces stress on your body.

Ease into it, start with a hot shower and a cold end and increase time. You'll get used to it fast

Hot. The function of showering is to attain cleanliness. The heat expedites the chemical reactions that actually make you clean. Cold showers are less efficient.

This. But getting used to it when it's cold out is hard, much easier to transition if you start in summer. Also it is good for your skin and hair

Well, how much you can take. I like it when its getting hard to breathe, like big gulps of air, but then again I'm Russian

Cold for waking up , especially good after some jogging . Also , don't forget to wait a little before it to cool down a little .
Hot shower before going to bed. If makes you sleep better . At least for me it does .

Cold. They cool me down after my black coffee and make my hair behave better after wearing my fedora all day

>Hot water knob? Haven't touched it in months. I'm actually currently going through the process of having it uninstalled from my plumbing, they should be coming out sometime next week. I had to list a reason(s) on the work order as to why I am requesting my hot water knob to be removed and discarded. Would you can to hear the reasons? Well stay tuned friend. 2 reasons:

>1. Discipline
>2. Mental toughness

>My property manager was initially questioning my reasons, but I explained to her that by taking cold showers I am actually able to develop discipline and mental toughness. After a long and heated (note that I needn't anything heated, especially my water) debate, I was able to convince her to put the work order in. Now I'm living a great life, warm water free. I even started forcing my gf to take cold showers with me. I refuse to date an inferior female, and I explained to her that if she can't learn to accept and love cold showers as I have then we really have no business being together anyways.

both.

hot shower to relax, open up pores and be able to actually get clean.
end with cold shower to close up pores and get that invigorating feeling. Bonus ifeel good if you just done working out.

Warm water while I'm masturbating then switch to lukewarm when I'm done.
