Whats the longest you have gone without a bath/shower?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

NEW DELHI (AFP) – An Indian man who fathered seven daughters has not washed for 35 years in an apparent attempt to ensure his next child is a boy, newspapers reported.

Kailash "Kalau" Singh replaces bathing and brushing his teeth with a "fire bath" every evening when he stands on one leg beside a bonfire, smokes marijuana and says prayers to Lord Shiva, according to the Hindustan Times.

"It's just like using water to take a bath," Kalau was reported as saying. "A fire bath helps kill germs and infection in the body."

Kalau, 63, from a village outside the holy city of Varanasi, outraged his family by refusing to take a ritual dip in the river Ganges even after his brother died five years ago.

"I still don't remember how it all began," he said in Saturday's edition of the paper. "I just know it started about 35 years ago."

I went 1 week without showering on a hunting trip once. It's not really that bad.

[ashbeeigh]

I thought I was going to die after 2 days of not showering last summer.

All in the name of a good community organizer though.

4-5 days, for a music festival. It was outdoors, very open, so even after a few days it was fine. I went swimming in a lake too, so that's even less of a big deal.

But it felt awesome to shower when I did. Probably good for my skin to go for a while without that, too.

Only like 3 or 4 days, and it was when I was really sick and couldn't get out of bed except to go to the bathroom.

I went 5 days without showering just because I was at outdoor ed and used my free time to go swimming instead of taking a shower. Now that I think of it, it's pretty gross.

8 days out in the desert, but I too went swimming.

meh, I kind if like it. It's nice stumbling out of the wilderness, stinking like some rotten, unshaven zombie and freaking out all the normals at the Subway you stop at on the way home.

I dated a guy once who wanted to see how long he could go without showering when he was about 14. He went a few weeks until his mother literally body tackled him, dragged him into the bathroom, stripped him, and forced him into a shower.

I've spent around 6 or 7 days without showering when I go backpacking in the Cordillera. Trust me, when its raining for 7 days straight and the temperature is around 1 or 2 degrees celcius... SHOWERING!

[IronMexican]

I went 7 days when I was 11 and school was out in the summer. My family was pissed, lol. I decided to take a bath when I couldn't stand my own body odor.

I went 8 days when I was 12. That was awesome. I was also on Summer Vacation.

I used to think you were a guy too, never imagined you are a girl. Now it seems a little bit more explainable why you are pretty kind to Rapper who is a big idiot, but you will get frustrated when you realize it is his low intelligence rather than his poor language skills that gives him such an idiotic looking.

I went about a week and a half one summer in high school. I basically spent a week at a friend's house, but his bathroom was disgusting so my not showering was not me not wanting to shower so much as it was me being afraid that I'd catch a disease while trying to clean up.

But damn was that week fun as .

[mrsmaalox]

This thread stinks.

[TheUnknownComic]

4 days and I was ripe.

[BruceBowenFan]

2 weeks in summer before 8th grade.

[JoeChalupa]

13 days during JEST training. A shower never felt so good.

Rapper does post some really weird things and start annoying threads sometimes, but I think he means well. I just don't think there's any need to be a to him. Speaking of which, I have a pic of a naked man in my signature. How did you not know I was a woman?
