I find showers very relaxing, just in a different way from baths. Since I like my water near-scalding hot, with a shower I can just keep turning the hot water up when it's wearing down. The feeling of water beating against the body is very nice too. That said, I love taking very hot baths.

This reminds me: the Japanese never bathe before showering, and to get soap in the bath is anathema. Apparently they agree with Dante.

Also, I have no problem with urinating while showering. I haven't done it in a long time, though.
