I don't think anyone needs to shower 2-3 times a day, unless they are in an occupation that is going to get them repeatedly dirty or grimy. (I think of the guy that fixed my messed up heating system when I first moved into the house. The previous owners did not maintain it properly, and he came out of the basement looking like a coal miner. That guy needed multiple showers doing that kind of work).

If your GF is this obsessed with "sterility," how does she find time to do much else during the day? I picture her either cleaning herself or the house nonstop, to keep up this perfect, sterile appearance.

Full disclosure: I will admit that I have what might be called a fastidious streak (which has annoyed my wife at times), but I am certainly not sterile, and it doesn't extend to all areas of my life. My fastidiousness pertains to my collections and keeping eating spaces clean. (I have to have my music collection sorted alphabetically by artist and album titles, for example, and the kitchen has to be clean but not gleaming perfect).
