Probably about 2 1/2 to 3 months when i was in the marines. I only had a few changes of clothes that i had to rewear over again too, so that equaled extra stinky.

Maybe a day. Very occasionally I'll get up late enough and not have time to shower before work, but I'll still take one when I get home. Even when I go camping I'll take one when I get home. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you people? Not only does it make you not stink, but having a shower is nice. Unless you're in a war zone with no access to showering facilities, or lost in the wilderness, there's no excuse not to take a shower.

3 weeks. That was when I was a lot younger though. Now I feel horrible if I go more than 2 days without one.

Plus I have to go out a lot more now to do stuff, so there's not really a choice.

Probably only about a week. I'm not hardcore =(

And I don't sweat very much so people didn't notice either! I was annoyed

4 days, whenever I've been away at a festival. Sweat, mud and beer don't really mingle very well...

6 weeks, I refused to wrap a plastic bag around my arm to shower, I know 6 weeks isn't a long time for a broken bone, but it was surgically done, got a 5mm sliver sawed out of my radius.

I generally don't shower for a while after losing a loved one, the most was when my god-mother died... 2 months

About a month. It was early in the Iraq War and I was deployed at the time. There were no shower facilities so my bathing consided of a wash cloth and a bottle of water. By the end of it, my uniform could literally stand on it's own thanks to the grime and sweat build-up.

Ew, I hate that axe spray. makes men smell like a french whore. just like i don't like it when girls wear perfume.
Tis only when used in excess, which I have mistaken done on occasion. Prefer Axe products myself.

Anyhow to answer your topic, when I was ten I suppose during a venture to my aunt's country home I had gone two weeks without bathing. Perhaps strange however none would have been the wiser. Fortunately time where youth allows such without consequence.

Nowadays? Despite rarely ventured out if a second days rolls around without my having a shower I loathe such. Outside of holding a preference to be clean, I refuse to fall under the category of "young man with long greasy hair." Never!

Admittedly I can be slightly feminine in regards to my hair; constantly combing, frequently washing it and my refusal to leave it "messy" for lack of a better word.

5 days. It was when we went on a school trip to some outdoor activity centre in the south of England. No one wanted to use the showers at it meant having to walk down a long corridoor back to your shared dorm in a towel, who knows what could happen. Although saying that one of the activities involved going chest deep into a river, does that count as bathing?

Sorry but I'm inclined to agree with the Moza444. Trolling is not my intention if I come accross that way. Surely you must have something more intelligent to raise coversation about...
I didn't realize the escapist was a british castle where we all drank tea sitting around a large table discussing politics. Maybe ill just post on the president or economy next time because those threads don't get old right? Surely you have something to contribute to the thread if not please don't post.

That'd probably be the 6-day field exercise (called Biwak) when I was still with the Bundeswehr. Still, we were forced to wash up a bit every morning, and while the officers had actual showers, all us lowly recruits got were a few canisters of ice-cold water. Brrrrrrrr.

i sign up for that one, but i was so tired during that time ( 8 hours sleep during the 6 days, 3 of whom i wasnt allowed to) i didnt care much.

every one smelled 2, so it was ok
