Extreme Veteran  399   St. Louis |  Subject: Guy Question. Warning Gals read at your own risk!Guys I have kind of a personal question. The benefits of losing a hundred pounds while training for triathlons is innumerable. My wife LOVES the increased cardiovascular. She loves the benefits of tri-training so much she never complains about me going to work out if you know what I mean. Here's the problem, during the "deed" I sweat like a freaking pig! I'm not talking about a little I'm talking running that 10 miles on a 95 degree day sweating. In my entire adult life I have never sweat like this during sex. Even when I was fat and out of shape I never sweat like this. We have had to change the sheets after several times. Is this normal? I don't mind it just seems like another workout, but my wife, although really enjoys the effort, isn't real hip on getting "baptized" in my sweat. Any suggestions or just take a towel to bed with me? |

Not always practical. #3 - Love freezer? I still have kids in college. Hard to explain to visitors. #4 - Tough to explain cut out at races. #5 - DOH! Fan! I feel like Homer Simpson.  I just need to break out huge fan. If my wife gets cold I'll just have to tell her you can't have everything! |

Extreme Veteran 552 Wesley Chapel, Florida | Subject: RE: Guy Question. Warning Gals read at your own risk! This may be your answer: Fit people sweat more “efficiently” by sweating sooner in the workout, in other words, at lower internal temperatures. However, this doesn’t mean that a fit person will always sweat more than an unfit person will. A sedentary person doing the same intensity workout as a fit person will get hot a lot faster and therefore will sweat more.

Although I issued a warning to the gals, I appreciate the fact that you refrained from staying out of the discussion. It took a women to look past the obvious and deliver a scientific explanation to a rather sophmoric question. That explains why I start to sweat when I even look at my bike or my running shoes.  It particullarly explains why I'm a sweaty mess in the bedroom. The AC and fan seems to be the obvious solution that I have overlooked over the last several months. I guess other parts of my body have been thinking more than my brain. |

Yes, I've thought a lot about this. We've noticed the same phenomena in our house. ;-) |

Master 1929 Midlothian, VA | Subject: RE: Guy Question. Warning Gals read at your own risk! I'm pretty sure I sweat less now than I used to. Fans? Sew a bunch of ShamWows together to make some 'special sheets'? Schedule the workout earlier in the day before it heats up too much? Ice bath? HTFU when you HTFU? -eric |

Member 181 | Subject: RE: Guy Question. Warning Gals read at your own risk! You might be over hydrated. Cut down on consumption of liquids and see if that helps, that's if you don't have a high intensity workout scheduled. regards, -J |
