I zone out and feel like I’ve been in there for hours, then I exit and it’s been eight minutes. I don’t understand why, but the shower completely removes my perception of time (normally one of my better skills). Luckily, it doesn’t go the other way.

I don't know what it is for other people, but I am hypersensory, so I am basically catatonic 90% of the time in the shower.
I have always been extremely sensitive to like, everything.
I used to get abused by my father for being "too sensitive" about almost anything, emotionally, physically, etc. So I did what any "real man" would do, and masked, masked masked. Spent decades of my life forcing myself to be hard, be strong, push through discomfort, show no pain, no emotions, no sensitivity.
As one might imagine, it didn't do me well in the long run. I was only recently diagnosed as autistic, I haven't told anyone outside my partner, as nobody would understand, the mask is glued on now, this is just me. A shell on the outside and a hidden universe inside. The long showers are total oblivion and I wish I could just stay in that water stream for days without end.
Sorry to hear toxic masculinity hurt you like that. If it helps any I can confidently say you're not alone and if you ever find a way to even just shift the mask a little there will be people who will accept you. The idea that a man should be a stoic is such bullshit and it hurts us all.

Great time for a quick fap!
The water is terrible for friction
Shower sex seems like it would be great until you learn ironically it feels like the dryest worst sex.
You can turn the water off but then you just have a small space with the added bonus of a slipping hazard.
Yay for foreskin! Also, how does wanking in the shower deserve down-votes? Is it due to other people waiting to get in the shower? Waste of hot water?
That's what conditioniare is for, but agree, sexy stuff in water is a turn off for me.

Gotta squat down and spray that showerhead at your butthole and balls to get it really clean and check better than any online gay test survey can ever do whether you would enjoy butt stuff. Some of my best groaning out loud orgasms are in the shower, and yes it takes a while.

Someone hasn't heard the stories about jizz clogging shower drains.
Jizz and hair .
Desert jellies~
Just the one? You have to pump those numbers up!
I do it to wake up. I am a boulder. Hard to get started but cannot stop until I drop when I do.
Well at least you're the boulder. I'm definitely Sisyphus, because it's always stupid hard to start, and about when I think I've accomplished something it rolls all the way back down and I have to restart it all again. Just with less energy and hope than before.
Staring into nothingness etc is literally what you're doing in there, so you answered the question. But I don't think the questioner misunderstood anything or was accusing you of anything, they just wondered why it takes you so long.
I listen to music while in the shower. My playlist is kind of l large, okay?
if i wash my hair (it's long) i'm in there for an additional 20 minutes. Outside of that, yeah no im just vibing.
