Cold showers have benefits, but one of the biggest things is the psychological effects. It helps control your mind a little bit. Eventually it becomes a habit of mind to just go and do it, instead of the initial time where you are standing there contemplating and trying to get ready for the shock from the cold. Yea it helps the skin a little, and wakes you up and makes you feel a little better. Plus contrast showers have the recovery benefits. But the mind aspect of it is the biggest thing, for me at least. The other stuff is fairly minuscule.

I seriously dont see how some of you are so unversed in biology that you think sitting in cold water for a few minutes is going to effect your hormone levels or your sex drive. It is cold water, its going to cool you down and lower your body temperature. There is no relation to that and your long term hormone levels. It isnt rocket science its pretty basic biology. I mean if your GF is in the other room you may want to phuck her 10 minutes after the shower because she shower woke you up and got your blood flowing but that will return to equilibrium pretty quick.

BTW I take cold showers every morning, but I know theres no benefits to them beyond 30 minutes and definitely no benefits on my daily mood/life except that I start my mornings wide awake and not groggy.

Pro tip for any of you struggling with cold showers: wake up a little bit earlier and do cardio (preferably fasted). You'll be so hot and sweaty after that the cold water will be much more tolerable

So many cucks in this thread propagating the myth of cold showers, when the answer lies in boiling showers.

I tried cold showers for a short period and it was not worth it. I already have all of the benefits of good hair, good skin, etc from genetics. Fuk ruining my morning with a cold uncomfortable shower

ruining your morning, benefitting the day imo. Eat that frog right from the get go and then everything else isn't as hard. Builds good discipline to not over-anticipate and end up not doing anything also IMo. I always force myself in before 5 seconds of anticipatory thinking.

Do you have issues waking up without a cold shower? I get up and I am good to go. Nothing changed for me except being uncomfortable as **** standing in the cold shower. If I am going to suffer I want some benefits beyond "discipline"
