since so many people are living such long lives now. So it can't be killing us. And we are one of the cleanest cultures to walk the earth with more options for bathing than ever.

But with that said, I believe that we probably do not need to use soap on a regular basis for routine bathing. Personally, if I were going to go without soap, I would use a washcloth for the friction part of bathing, since hands are not usually rough enough to provide much friction. Besides, I prefer to scrub my butt with something more than my hand.
