A nice hot shower is a stress reliever for me, so I will stick to that.
It is an interesting concept, but to me it is on the level of training your hair not to need washed as often. Why? I have nice healthy hair that I wash every day. I'm good with it.
Maybe if I didn't have access to the resources I do it would make sense. But I have worked too hard, as did my parents and grandparents before me, to improve our situations to take cold showers now.
Let me qualify that by saying that I come from a very poor family - both sets of my grandparents lived in homes with dirt floors and no running water in the house until their grown children got together and paid to have it installed in 1978! I grew up in a small two bedroom house sharing a room with both my brother and sister until I was 12. When we moved to the three bedroom house, it was like we were moving to a castle. I remember all those houses, and the outhouses, very well, so it would seem almost disrespectful not to use and appreciate the "luxuries" we have now.
