I never thought about this before I saw an episode of Oprah where she discussed not wanting to use soap that anyone else had used and that she always put out a new bar for house guests. When I was married we shared the shower and soap. For house guests, I just left the soap in the bathroom from one guest to another.
How do you feel about using a bar of soap for bathing that someone else has used?

Prefer to have separate soap, Personally. Bottled body wash is different and I think that is OK to share.
I've always shared the soap with my husband and have never given it a second thought. I can't imagine anyone being married and not wanting to use the same soap as their spouse or regarding this as an issue. What kind of mindset is that? I would imagine billions more germs are passed on through kissing or sex than by sharing an innocuous bar of soap!
At home, my husband and I share soap only with each other because no one uses the master bathroom but us.
The soaps in the other bathrooms are for guests; sometimes we use them to wash our hands, if we happen to be in that bathroom. I change those soaps only when they are half used up, not with every new guest.
If I'm staying at someone else's home, I'm not opposed to using their soap. It's a given that I know them pretty well if I'm taking a shower in their house. I just lather up the bar of soap really well and rinse it off before I use it. Of course if there's an option to use a shower gel, I'd use that instead.
When it's a bar of soap it's usually mine only as he doesn't like bars.
Our house guests don't use our (en suite) bathroom, so they have their own soap.
I'm referring to hand soap only btw. Shower gel/body wash: I have mine, he has his (we like different smells), house guests have a couple to choose from. No bars.
I don't think I've ever used the same soap as anyone with the exception of hand soap. I've used bottled shower gel for about 10 years, though, so I guess that makes a difference.

I have my own special bathroom and I never share my personal use items.
I also make sure that guests have their own personal items.
