What do cold showers do?

Question

Like...I was watching the fresh prince and um..His uncle dude told him to take a cold shower after Will said he wanted to have s*x. I don't get it. Don't tell me I'm stupid.

Answer 1

its like jumping in a pool of really cold water - brrrrrrrrrrr. know the feeling? all the heat of the body, all other sensations get "blocked out" on that first impact due to sudden temperature differentials. similarly, all thought or feeling of s*x just gets "washed away" if you take a sudden impact of cold shower on your heated body [remember, the key word is Cold - there should be a temperature difference]. and, it works for both men and women.  

Answer 2

i don't get it either.

Answer 3

I am not sure about sexual activity, but a cold shower prevents lactic acid from building up in your body, making it less likely for you to get sore after a tough workout.  Athletes often take a cold shower after a hard day.

Answer 4

Cold showers prepare you from the heat of s*x...lol

But they really open up your pores so you'll be more sensitive...you know..lol

Answer 5

Well obviously Will was "heated" up to have s*x, if you take a cold shower it will take all the heat away.  It's cold you know, so you'll cool down, wake up and the last thing you'd be thinking about is S-E-X---lol!

Years ago, (like the uncle's time) that was a standard practice for a guy to cool down & get back in control of himself.

Why don't you try it? Just to see what how you'd feel.
