How long do you spend in the shower each morning?

I think I read once you are 'supposed' to spend something like just 3-4 minutes? I know I spend at least double that. In winter I find myself getting dry skin, especially on my back and I think it's probably from the hot water but who wants to get out when the bathroom is freezing cold? 😄

Update - this got 'bumped' and I'm getting new answers now, I have to say I don't feel so bad about my 8 minutes given some of the replies :)

I spend no more than 3-4 minutes in the shower cabin. It takes 2 minutes to soap myself, using soap and a wet washcloth, and two more minutes to get rid of the lather.
I use cold water.
I feel very strong and powerful when I leave the shower.
