What men do in the shower, or ‘Seb sells out and gets naked on camera’
This week sees the continuation of my ‘Things you’ve always wanted to know about men but were too afraid to ask’ series of videos. I’m still trying to come up with a shorter and punchier title — if anyone can come up with anything, let me know; I’ll credit you!
After unearthing the true reason behind why men pick their nose, I now turn my attention to a wholly more juicy subject — showering. More specifically, why some men take a really long time in the shower. Now, you can probably all guess, now that I’ve brought it up, but watch the video and hear it right from the horse’s mouth. I might even surprise you with some of the things that men get up to in the shower — and of course, for the sake of journalistic integrity, I actually recorded the video while standing in the shower.
I know, now that I’ve taken my clothes off — for Lilu’s TMI Thursday, no less — you think I’ve gone and jumped the shark — but not so! Just you wait; there’s a lot more weird stuff that men get up to.
Incidentally, the video was entirely unscripted, and all in one take. I dropped my towel, got into the shower and… this is what came out. I have no idea why I started singing, or where the penis-play ‘outro’ came from. I must be a little crazy in the head.

Well well
You are made of pure awesome.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:25 amI finally find the time to catch up on reading your blog, and this is what I find.
Seriously, had I known this is what I was missing by doing my homework instead of trolling the internet, I would have skipped the English paper and come here straight away!
Missed you Mr. Seb!
March 11th, 2010 at 11:15 amThanks Carly!
And you should know BETTER, Hannah.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:19 pmI really was waiting on it to end in a girly scream (in case of slippage, you know). I applaud you for not scripting that at all. I mean, most people would wonder why on earth you had a camera in the bathroom in the first place, but I already know it’s because you are afraid to shower alone!
March 11th, 2010 at 12:53 pm* goes to steralise shower with large bottle of bleach and scrubbing brush*
March 11th, 2010 at 12:57 pmMy only real concern was whether the vapor in the room would ruin the camera… but it seems like it survived OK!
You should’ve seen the looks I got as I traipsed across the house, with tripod and camera, to the bathroom…
March 11th, 2010 at 12:57 pmHa-HAH! My mother spelt a word wrong!
You will never live this one down!
March 11th, 2010 at 12:58 pmShe meant to spell it that as a way of checking how observant you are…I would give you a strange look, too.

March 11th, 2010 at 1:34 pmThis time I don’t even NEED to read the comments first. Mental note: Read Mr. Seb BEFORE getting to work. I dread to think what kind of NSFW cookies you’ve left on my computer lol
March 11th, 2010 at 1:44 pm… but don’t you find you feel exposed in a GOOD way?
March 11th, 2010 at 1:48 pmI know, I know, I looked at the word and it seemed wrong, but I could not be bothered to sort it out, I had too many unpleasant thoughts on my mind…..
March 11th, 2010 at 2:40 pm“‘Things you’ve always wanted to know about men but were too afraid to ask’ series of videos. I’m still trying to come up with a shorter and punchier title..”
I’d probably just call it something like “Man Stuff” or would that be a little too ambiguous?
Masturbating in the shower certainly reduces on cleanup. Well, depending on the plughole (doing it in an unfamiliar shower without checking first can result in picking out sticky clumps of matted hair so the water will drain away).
March 11th, 2010 at 3:19 pmUm yah. I mean, am I the only one expecting more??
And it’s FINE if men want to shave in the shower. I mean, I do so how can I say no to that? But for the love of everything holy, PLEASE rinse away your hairs from everything. I don’t like walking into a shower where it feels like it maybe once was a rain forest.
PLUS, I take at least 30-35 minutes in the shower daily which leaves Matt with very little hot water.
I’m a Pisces, I get rank.
March 11th, 2010 at 3:20 pmBen, I tell you what’s bad… no glasses. I can’t shower with my glasses on (or I guess I could, but… it would be weird).
So it usually involves a lot of kneeling down and squinting at matted hunks of hair, to check… if you’ve got it all…
March 11th, 2010 at 5:31 pmWow…. you really need a power shower
March 11th, 2010 at 7:53 pmi think you should call the series “man truths” or “manisms”. do i win a prize?
March 13th, 2010 at 3:09 amI feel like such a total pervert watching this while I was waiting for a job interview, right outside the room.
HAHAHAHA.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:11 amMy boyfriend totally does all of those things. Not every time mind, but I know he has done them at one time or another. So educational!
I’d nominate ‘manplaining’ as a title, but it actually quite negative.
March 14th, 2010 at 10:11 amThat’s quite a good idea! But it took me about 30 seconds to work out what it mean…
Pinky — we really need a proper shower. It takes frickin’ AGES for this old thing to get me suitably wet.
March 14th, 2010 at 10:39 amIt really would have helped if I hadn’t left out so many ’s’s. Should have been ‘mansplaining’ and “it’s”.
March 15th, 2010 at 5:48 pmsebbie, you’re such a teaser. and i’m “teased”….. @,@
March 17th, 2010 at 2:42 pmYou know with Seb you never know, one always has to take into consideration any imaginable worst case scenario – but – I watched, I watched the video! And it was as if I had taken a shower myself: a soothing experience for my own body and soul.
Well done, well inspired, all well, all of it.
Thank you for sharing, Seb
April 4th, 2010 at 12:49 pmAw, I posted this just to activate the “Notify me” box, which I´d forgotten to do when I wrote the above comment.
April 4th, 2010 at 12:51 pmWas it the running water, or the calming tones of my singing voice, that most soothed you?!
