Dark Showers?

Not in the pitch black, but I often keep the lights off if there's at least some ambient light coming in from the hallway window.

Once when I was doing a stint at county lock up I took a dark shower.

Nawww just kidding ( or am I)

Dark shower - where no one can see you crying (I already sent application for registered trademark).

Most of you are too young, but when Jeff talked about too hot, slightly uncomfortable showers...I thought of Silkwood. Those big scrub brushes still give me nightmares!

I could see showering with the lights off, particularly in the morning - but not to a point where it's difficult to see.

Well now I have something to try tomorrow

If I never post again call 911 cause i fell and busted my head open

I exclusively take dark showers. But I also like doing pretty much everything else in the dark. The first time I turn on any lights is when I go to tie my tie to leave in the morning.

I used to take dark showers when I woke up in the morning and it was still dark outside. My eyes had trouble adjusting to light quickly. I don't do it anymore because my new apartment's bathroom has a light dimmer.

Dem derr midwest storms forced me to take dark showers a few times - that's before I watched Mythbusters and learned that I could've died.

Rorie is a crazy person.

@spoonman671: I wish you weren't lying! OR, pics or it doesn't exist!

I only need it JUST dark enough so that I can't see my massive 13.7" dong when i'm in there... otherwise, I get jealous of it.

I don't know if I've ever done it. It sounds like something I'd do. Or, like, shower by candlelight. It sounds pretty relaxing. If my hot water didn't run out so quickly in the winter, I'd give it a shot this evening.

Never done it before, don't see any reason to start.

I prefer the dark bath if I'm gonna do dark. However I have a night light, so I kinda cheat. Never go full dark duders, it's asking for trouble.

I feel like I don't really use my eyes when I'm taking a shower, so the lights being on or off is irrelevant.

Hell yes. Nothing like a hot dark shower when you have a migraine.

I'd like to report back. I took a dark shower--not completely dark, but only with a single small candle light. My eyes quickly adjusted to the almost non-existent light. It was just enough light to function safely. Played some music from my phone sitting on the shelf right outside the shower. It was a very serene experience. 10/10, would recommend.

I don't have a shower in my house but I've taken plenty a dark bath when I've had migraines.

The Giant Bomb staff know video games, but I wouldn't necessarily take life advice from them. Maybe Drew or Vinny...but not this dark shower weirdness.

Also, like they said on the Bombcast, it's a lot more dangerous than it sounds. Imagine getting soap or shampoo in your eyes and then stumbling out of the shower to turn on the light or slipping on soapy water in the process. Just because something sounds fun doesn't mean you should try it. Does skydiving sound fun? Sure, but I know people who are in wheelchairs now because they tried it. So I probably never will, because the brief thrill involved in it is not worth the risk.

I'm partial to dank showers myself.

I'll try it. Try a cold shower, and thank me later.

Or just rinse your eyes out since you're in the shower and everything.

I've been in a room without the lights on while showering, but never what I'd call a "dark shower". It sounds appealing, though!

As a proponent of dark showers I highly recommend them.

It's cheating but if if you have an opaque/semi translucent shower curtain light a candle and put on some Explosions in the Sky and you're on a one way ticket to Relaxation Town.

Also, everyone that is complaining that it's too dangerous. For shame! Either get more confidence in yourselves or die trying. You have not lived. Nor will you ever.

I've never ever tried it

Tried it once or twice, mostly due to accidents like power going out or the like, not a fan.

What I am a fan of tho is reading in the bath, drinking in the bath, and even watching videos or playing games in the bath on my laptops.

Hahaha that's amazing. I get the "what if" part

Used to do it during winter time in high school when the sun wasn't out at 5:45 in the morning. I have slightly above average night vision, I get it within a couple minutes and I can see mostly everything, it's just small details I can't see or small stuff on the ground. The only reason why I stopped showering in the dark is because I actually freaked out thinking if there was a spider or scorpion I didn't see on the ground and stepping on it would cause it to bite/sting me.

@hatking: how many ghosts tho

And now i cant stop thinking of the ref from wwe aka tupac shakur standing outside your shower door...

@rorie: I've showered with the lights off, but I also have a window in my bath/shower, so it'd only be a dark shower if I took it at night.

I did have to take showers with my eyes closed for over a month after LASIK.

I gave it a go. Sadly even at nighttime with my blinds pulled shut my eyes still entirely adjusted and I could see everything. I feel ripped off where's my refund?
