Seriously how do other people wash their backs? You get one of those little scrubbers? Or you're just much much more flexible than I am?

I take the bar of soap and use it to reach a little bit further and scrub from 3 different angles. And for one angle I put soap on the outside of my fingers and get the hard middle part.
Kinda hard to describe so here:

BoT, I shower mostly facing the water. The only time I turn my back to it is when I'm rinsing my back side (obv) and when I am soaping up the front side (obv).

And as far as water coming from above. No. If you're tall like me you are always ducking down to wash face/hair. Faucets generally don't point higher than nipple level either.

I'd say like 75% back to faucet. I've actually got a bit of a science, with the water hitting my neck. The only time I'm really facing the faucet is to wash my face or rinse off my front. Most of the reason I would rotate is to keep both sides of my body an even temperature because I take a pretty hot shower. It's always been that way.

This seems like something that popped up in Seinfeld.

Start with back to the faucet (it just feels better!), then rotate as necessary to wash "various parts" of the body - I mean, I just like feeling the powerful stream of water hitting my (insert your imagination). Ugh, yeah.

mostly back to faucet, but rotation is key, can't get a full wash without it.

Same for me but the other way around. I never thought people faced away most of their shower!

Is that a handstand facing the shower or away?

It's called a bath.

Baths are inferior to showers imo.

Back to faucet is the only way to take a shower.

I shower facing the entrance so my body is turned sideways to the faucet. My left side is probably much cleaner.

I don't very often... my gf used to wash it when we had sexy showers... but we broke up and since then I guess I just assume it gets sorta cleaned by drying it off with a towel/soapy water running down it. How do other guys do it?

this is a serious issue.. my back used to be so clean when i had a gf but now i'm concerned that i keep missing spots. there's no good substitute for getting it scrubbed by someone else, really
