    https://www.epa.gov/watersense/data-and-information-used-watersense

    WaterSense annually estimates the average cost of water and wastewater in the U.S. based on an analysis of data from rate surveys conducted by the American Water Works Association (AWWA)

    For 2023, WaterSense’s estimate for average national rates are:

    Residential cost per 1,000 gallons Water: $6.64

    That’s $0.006/gallon.

    All showerheads installed since 1992 have a federal maximum of 2.5 gallons/minute. Some states have lower limits. Assuming the shower is on at maximum flow and is a showerhead that can do the federal maximum, that’s 1.5 cents a minute at maximum flow, or 90 cents an hour. You’d have to have some pretty prodigious stamina to make that a substantial cost.

    I’d also note that one could reduce the cost by using a low-flow showerhead or reduce the per-capita cost by participating in group shower sex.

    Silicone lube is the only way it works. Or a big shower where you can get out of the way of the water. Preferably both.

    i’ve never partaken, so anyone feel free to correct me, but i thought the usual point of shower sex was to do a quick shower at the same time as a quick sex, in order to get them both done quickly when pressed for time.

      Depends.

      There is the “let’s do this quick so we can go to work” shower sex.

      Then there is the “we have this nice big shower with heated floors so we can really enjoy our time together” shower sex.

      Even better is the “you’ve been gone for over a week working” shower sex.

      And the “let’s get clean so we can be dirty” shower sex is always fun.

      Last but not least is the “you’ve been working so hard let me massage you all over” shower sex.

      I’m sure I’m missing something but I’m sure it will come along soon.
