The Masculine Art of Bubble Baths: True Relaxation for Real Men

,

Bubble Baths are the most soothing and relaxing out of all the daily cleaning activities that anyone can enjoy…….it’s also just a smaller, individual-sized, version of a Hot Tub. But the concept is the same – it’s a hot bubbly water that just feels amazing during the cold-winter months or after a long hard day of work, It is the essence of true relaxitative luxury. Which begs the question …why does it have a very feminine overtone or a female stereotype. In my mind, Baths are one of the most masculine ways to not only get clean, but to relax at the same time. It is way more masculine than anything else in this world. When I say masculine, I actually mean it is one of the laziest ways to get clean.

The bubble bath is an iconic and a long-standing tradition for not only getting clean, but used to help reduce the stress from a long day. The typical long day that a lot of males have as well not just females. Historically speaking, real men have always taken baths over showers and that’s because real men know the importance of soothing waters and the longer length of time for the process. Showers are for those people that are way too busy with limited time. The real men and women who take baths, will value the process and make time because it is essential for the mind, body, and overall health.

The bubbles alone are what makes baths appealing. The simplicity of the bubbles is the ultimate masculine entertainment for a simple man’s mind.

As it was previously stated, baths are a very masculine way to clean, but what about hot tubs? Taking a bath with other people can be awkward…what is the difference between the two, let alone all the germs and bacteria from other people (even if the hot temperature kills it) is still pretty gross if you really think about it. The concept baffles me…don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy the occasional soak in the communal tub, but afterwards I begin to think about the very nature of hot tubs.

The marketing of hot tubs are truly amazing, they are not marketed as communal baths to get clean, but marketed as a relaxing spa-like treatment to ease a persons body and muscles, but would this be considered slightly false advertisement?

First off, it may feel good, but there are many negative affects to hot tubs. The hot temperature of the water is really not that good for people – cold water works better to ease muscle aches and the hot water will actually dry out a persons skin. Then we have other peoples human juices and bacteria, not so much in the water but in the transfer from getting in and out of the tub, on the railings and the steps leading up to the hot tub platform. Just imagine the mold build up where the moisture can accumulate around the bases and the immediate surrounding area – whoever is soaking in the hot tub may be inhaling mold particles if not properly maintained thoroughly.
