Default Insulation in interior wall around shower stall - why?

I replaced my bath tub, took out a plastic one with a huge
crack, and put in a metal one. On the exterior wall, of
course. I wish I'd put some fiberglass behind it. You can
learn from my mistake.

It also helps keep the shower wall from feeling ice-cold
when you
lean your bare butt against it. The first 30 seconds of
hot shower
water warms up the surface pretty well, and having
insulation behind
it keeps that heat from dissipating as fast. It makes a
real big
difference when you insulate around soaking tubs, as well.

I can *totally* relate to that :-0. That alone is a good
reason to put it
back when I'm done
