Jean-Paul Marat (May 24, 1743 – July 13, 1793), was a Swiss-born French physician, philosopher, political theorist and scientist best known as a radical journalist and politician from the French Revolution. He was murdered in his bath by Charlotte Corday who sought to stop his dangerous influence on French revolutionaries.
The reason he is mentioned in this post is his affinity for cold baths:
Marat often sought the comfort of a cold bath to ease violent itchings due to a skin disease long said to have been contracted years earlier, when he was forced to hide from his enemies in the Paris sewers.
Today is my first day of complete celibacy. Apparently this means not only no sex, but no masturbation and freedom of sexual thoughts...
I will be taking lots of cold baths.
