Googling this turns up your typical lifehack garbage with paper thin evidence at best supporting it or some guys anecdotes at worst.
I was in until I found out it increases testosterone levels.

I had to get in there hot, then lower the temperature a little by little until it was freezing. Felt refreshed as hell afterwards.
Cold showers actually REALLY help with fevers. Ice cold baths always suck though.

Sorry, I love my relaxing warm/hot showers. Really helps you unwind and get loose.
Whelp, now I know what else I'm doing tonight.
I just took one myself. It's a real challenge to stay in for the first 30 seconds, but after that it's smooth sailing.
[QUOTE=Mysterious Mr.E;45544946]I was in until I found out it increases testosterone levels.[/QUOTE] It's a lot more than testosterone that makes someone a big stronk man.
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;45549130]Whelp, now I know what else I'm doing tonight.[/QUOTE] Took a cold one and now I'm feeling fine. Would do this again.
Jokes on you guys cause I was only pretending to be retarded.
Am I the only one who gets really uncomfortable in cold shower? I imagine I am being thrown into the depths of the icy ocean and that affects me.
[QUOTE=Antiokus;45550243]Am I the only one who gets really uncomfortable in cold shower? I imagine I am being thrown into the depths of the icy ocean and that affects me.[/QUOTE] have you ever gone swimming in the wild like on a mountain? Diving into ice cold water is amazing. One time some friends and I were hiking in a rain forest mountain range in the middle of summer, 30 degrees hot and we'd been walking for 3 hours. We came across a few cascades leading to large pools of water so we decided to jump in to cool off. Despite the weather outside the water was still ice cold. It's extremely uncomfortable at first but after a minute or so you get used to it and it's heavenly.

Being in florida and being an oily person, I take very hot showers with very aggressive soaps to dry out my skin.[/QUOTE] I'm not a dermatologist, but pretty sure that's gonna cause damage in the long term. You'd be better off getting medical advice and tackling the root cause of your oily skin rather than nuking it. Chances are, it's producing a shitload of oil to compensate for the fact that on a daily basis you're depriving it of the oil it needs to be healthy. Just like the solution to oily hair isn't overwashing, I imagine the solution to oily skin isn't overwashing
Took a cold shower yesterday after sauna and washing myself with warm water. Slept like a baby, even though it's so hot and humid here. Amazing.
i take cold showers almost every day
After watching this yesterday I decided to take a really cold shower and i feel p good. The most noticeable thing when I stepped out is that I feel lighter...
I love cold showers! I can now shower whenever I want since I don't need to wait an hour for my water to heat up [editline]31st July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=RustledJimmys;45543331]I thought cold showers were for pretentious nofappers.[/QUOTE] what
I just took a cold shower because if this video and I feel like a mule just kicked me in my teeth, but in a good way? At first I felt like I put my dick in a blender it was so awful but after like a minute I got used to it and it felt incredible? Like I'm more awake and alive and energetic than I think I've ever felt? Later tonight I'm going to try doing the "warm water to sudden shocking cold" like they talked about with the sauna to icewater thing before I go to bed, see how that feels. I think cold showers might just be my thing from now on.

I took a cold shower after going to the gym today, holy shit I did not expect that to be so cold. Felt reasonably nice though after a while.

I shower in the evening and don't really want a burst of energy but I always cool the water off before I rinse out the conditioner because it's better for your hair that way
