Yes.
You do know you can wash both sides, right?
Showoff
Yes
Facing away is my default position when not actively rinsing anything. Either half these comments are trying to be funny with their quips about washing their whole body or they take the faster showers in the world with no soak/relax time
I’m like a rotisserie chicken in there
This is the way.
I have a rain shower
It's quite wonderful
Rotate like a pillar of shawarma
While rocking left and right how Ray Charles does
Pfft. Beginner.
Rotate like a rotisserie chicken.
Amateur hour. I start to spin around like a gyroscope the moment I set foot in the shower
I stand still and the shower revolves around me.
Relativistically accurate
I spin too... have you ever tried spinning in opposite direction... really fucks with your head.
Yes.
I spin right round like a record, baby.
Right round right round????
Right into lovin' arms.
Except not, because shower sex is horrible. The loving arms can respect my space and wait until after I'm done showering, baby.
OP please tell me that you don't just wash one side of your body.
I rotisserie chicken when I'm actually washing myself (and take down there hose to wash my genitals) but if I'm taking a hot shower to self soothe / emotionally regulate I face away.
Rotate. Why would you just wash one side?
I cling to the ceiling like a frightened cat.
You must be my local spider. Sorry about the view.
I start facing and rotate as I wash different areas.
I think people are vastly overestimating the amount of rinsing required for a shower. Scrubbing with soapy water is like 99.9% of the shower. You don't need a constant hose blast of fresh water to have enough water to do that and actually is probably removing the soap too early.
To answer the question, away because I'm not a sicko. But obviously turning to rinse when needed.
Aren't people turning the water off when scrubbing themselves with soap ??
I'm not a sicko
It's literally just tap water?
Upside down so I get a good undercarriage wash.
Away, unless I'm stomping the turd down the drain, then I guess I'm facing towards it
I tend to face away while soaping up, and I face the water when I'm rinsing off. I also shave in the shower, and I do that facing away.
I rotate like a rotisserie chicken.
I scrunch down in the shower tray like a spatchcock chicken.

Underneath? It's a "rain" shower, it doesn't matter how I stand.
I don't care for those, not enough pressure for me to effectively wash away soap.
I start by rotating for even heating. Soap my hair facing away, rinse it facing. Wash face facing. Conditioner hair away. Step completely out of the water to quickly scrub neck to feet with soapy loofa. Facing to rinse hair/face. The rotating and rinsing top to bottom.
Done. In and out in 5-10 minutes depending on how dirty I was, and therefore how hard I had to scrub.
I used to use a valve on the head itself to turn off the water completely during scrubbing, but I didn't get a new one when I moved so I got out of the habit.
I should buy one again. Saves water, costs less.

I sit. I close my eyes and tilt my head up, letting the drops fill my ears
Predominantly away, unless whatever cleaning I'm doing requires otherwise.
Depends what I'm scrubbing
I go up and down while spinning like a yo-yo
