How do people in hot countries continue to populate?

Honestly, even just the thought of having sex in this heat has me running away in sweat drenched disgust. I have under boob sweat, arsehole sweat, my knickers are gross, my hair is wet, I feel disgusting and I am far far too hot! How do hot countries manage? I couldn't think of anything worse than sex right now! Thankfully my OH is in complete agreement 🤣 we can barely tolerate our clothes touching our body never mind sharing heat 🤣
What's the consensus? Does the heat affect your libido? Or are you lot all lying in a pool of combined sweat and continuing as normal?

I understand what you are saying but if it goes above 20 I like the aircon on. I’ve always liked a cold bedroom so I can get cosy in the bed, I still like a duvet on me abroad 🤣

I love the sun / heat but I just like a cold room too

I like a cold room too. And fortunately I get that the vast majority of the year by opening the window. I get that right now Aircon would be of benefit though.

Sounds like you're overweight if you have all these sweating issues.

Sounds like you're a bit of a bitch, no?

DH is Mexican from a part of the country where it doesn’t really get below 30° year round and 35/36 in the summer. They don’t have AC or anything, or even glass in their windows so it’s always as hot (or hotter) inside than out 😅 but a fan makes a nice breeze and when you live somewhere hot you adapt to it and it doesn’t feel the same as it does for us when we’re used to it being cooler. He struggled with the cold when he first moved here but has mainly adapted now

I spent the summer in Greece once and the temps were 38c-42c or so. I got used to it, but didn't really notice that I did until it "cooled down" to 30c and I was putting on jeans and a light sweater. 😂

I'm like that in the winter too 🤣🤣

20! There's such a difference in living in cold climates and hot climates. My heating is still on at 20, and I'm looking forward to it getting to summer and the 30s again.

I love the cold, I love the sun too, but from being a child I’ve always loved a cooler room, I just sleep better in them.
It’s not the end of the world like when camping etc but I like to be comfy at home

I feel the same as you OP! The thought of DTD' in this heat is unthinkable. Thankfully I'm happily single so it's one thing I don't have to worry about, thank goodness. About 10 years ago,I had a partner who LOVED this sort of weather (he was originally from a hot country) and unfortunately the heat made him horny. The complete opposite of how I felt. I got absolutely sick of him keeping pawing at me, trying to coerce me into having sex. I swear it was a miracle I didn't end up murdering him..

Aw no! My OH knows not to so much as touch me in this weather! Thankfully we're very compatible that way, or I'd have LTB years ago 😅

We have air conditioning 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

My DH runs hot. I’m the opposite: I’m always cold.
I tell him all the time the chances of me getting my kit off would be much higher if our bedroom A/C wasn’t set to the fucking Arctic circle 🫠🫠🫠🫠

My husband is like that, I’m always thankful of a heatwave as it means he’s hot enough to take his kit off, rather than taking of as few clothes as possible!

Can’t believe I’ve read the whole damn thread and nobody’s spotted the typo in the thread title.

The person who made the overweight comment should be spit roasted btw
