This was a question my instructor asked. We were talking about the skin and how it regulates body temperature. I assume it has to be someone that does not sweat or have a problem with their sweat glands.

Not born, but people with "Erythema ab igne"  have a greatly reduced ability to sweat due to damage to sweat glands from chronic heat exposure.\n\nStump your instructor.\nHeat induced skin lesions and skin cancer.  Heat thins the skin.  Common in foundry workers.

this is called hyperhydrosis..and unfortunately some dr's are way too happy to operate on a healthy body. many have been disabled by this surgery. the forum listed below has an entire section on sweat and remedies for it. what works for one person may not work for all, but try different combinations..something will work =)\n\nhttp://p069.ezboard.com/betsandreversals

Alright Julie!!  Great answer....!  Although I laughed at the "are you mad" part, the truth is this is for real.  Emotions can play a large part in our pulse rate.  The person with a Type A personality...kinda tense in personality, probably with a job that is tense also, but which this person thrives.....I would like to ask how much caffine you drink?  Are you eating nutritional foods, exercising, do you smoke?  Lots of reasons for increased heart rates...lifestyle can be the biggie!

As a rule, no.\nIt could arise \n1. as answered already, if the surrounds are above normal body temp (the body while alive being cooled by sweat evaporation),\n2 If the body cooled towards equilibration with the surrounds, then the surrounds warmed up above the lowered temperature which the body had reached,\n3 If the evaporation of moisture cooled the body, it could certainly cool the skin significantly, but I suspect the skin would dry long before this cooled the average body temperature below that of the surrounds. (perhaps more significant if wearing a lot of wet clothes if a dry wind)\nAny other circumstances anyone? - even more bizarre ideas such as death from hypothermia following massive ingestion of ice??

There is a medical condtion where people really can not sweat.  I think you would have discovered if you had this already by overheating.\n\nIf you work out and it's cold or windy, your sweat will evaporate fast and maybe make you believe you aren't sweating.\n\nOr, if you don't workout hard enough, you won't sweat.  You could get a heart rate monitor to see if you are exercising in a good "target range" appropriate for your age.\n\nAlso, in terms of weight loss, you can't measure your success in losing weight by the amount you sweat in a workout. That water just comes right back.  The secret to weight maintenance is exercising  consistently and eating a good diet.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with temperature control- The majority of pubic hair is on the pubic bone, not the penis and scrotum (c'mon guys, you sort of know this, right?) There is no reason to keep the pubic bone particularly warm- you lose no significant heat from the pubic bone.  The testicles are outside the body to keep them cool-now we want to cover them to keep them warm? No.  It has to do with maximizing the surface area for pheromones-  Pheromones are made in the anal area, the genital area, and under the arms...hmmm.  You really don't think you need hair around your anus to keep it warm, do you?  Having a lot of hair means there can be a lot more surface area for pheromone oils to waft their wonderful, sexy (?) scents around.  This is partially vestigial, since we have mostly lost our sense of smell, and cover these areas now, but they strongly hearken back to the days where pheromones played a major role in our reproductive lives.  It's all about sex- pheremones start to be made during puberty, at exactly the same time pubic, anal, and underarm hair is made.  Hair on the head *is* likely for warmth, since a great deal of heat is lost through the head- but use your logic.  Children need as much protection from cold as adults-so why dont they have pubic, etc hair from birth?  They *do* have hair on their heads, for protection from cold and probably UV rays.  Think about it-puberty, reproductive ability, pheremones, pubic hair-all come at the same time.

Humidity affects indirectly, probably as related to sweating to rid of fluid.  But your kidneys are the main fluid eliminators, usually through a salt exchange. You need to know what the salt-ie sodium and potassium levels are, as well as your protein in your blood. Your hormones can be involved, as well as circulation of your blood and lymphatics. Blood pressure could be involved.Support stockings may help if everything else checks out OK.

A sauna works to cause weight loss by causing you to sweat and lose water weight.  It is TEMPORARY, very temporary.  And it has nothing to do with developing muscles.  Sorry, you gotta do it the old-fashioned way!

the body is not very good at changing energy into movement\n3/4 of the energy used to move muscles is turned into heat instead of moving the muscle\nthis heat is what makes you warm

If you are in good health, are staying hydrated and are not outside in excessive temperatures, your body is supposed to be able to regulate your body temperature by sweating.  That prevents our temperature from going up significantly during sports and exercise.  (It's also a basic definition of warm blooded...we maintain a stable temperature when our bodies are working they way they are supposed to.) You are more likely to get brain damage from a concussion gotten while playing sports ; )

no, it wouldn't be easier.  Certain compounds have lower melting points than others.  Lipids for example, if you cool your body down too much become very rigid.  The resulting body temp is actually in a very important lipid range that deals with lipid and membrane fluidity.  Evolution to this is probably the result of species out competing those with lower internal temps.  Besides, our bodies naturally produce a very high amount of heat non-related to cell temperature regulation as a result of moving and living anyways.

Your friend is suffering from a condition called hyperhydrosis.I used to have it.It isn't serious and can be treated.It basically is an overactive sweat gland.Tell your friend to go to her doctor and get a prescription ointment.Her problem will go away in two to three days.I hope this does the trick.

The productive effect of your exercise has to do with the muscles and the effort they exert. Sweating is not a body-building process, it is a temperature-regulation process to dump waste heat generated by your activities.  Your central nervous system starts to break down if your internal body temperature rises above 107 or so! \n\nYour exercise program builds you up by proper use of the muscle groups in a planned manner.  The only difference in your physiology when there is AC around, is a slightly lower loss of water and of the body salts that go with sweat.  If it makes you more comfortable as you exercise, and encourages you to keep to your program, it may make for a much better training experience.

It would be hard to determine this in the shower but does he perspire?  If his body is unable to perspire properly in unusually hot situations and there is adequate fluids in his body, this might be a cause to consider for the overheating.

it is a proven fact that either man or woman sweat to the opposite sex is a natural aphrodisiac. Most people cant or dont know it turns them on, but have you ever thought that when you are having swaety sex that most times you are more turned on than usually. The human body excretes natural aphrodisiacs through sweat and bodily secretions like cum,saliva and sweat. Its called Androstadiene its a natural and one of the most true aphrodisiacs in the world. read up on the site below for the truth.

Some people sweat in different places when they are nervous.  Some get sweaty palms, armpits or forehead.  You get a sweaty bum.  Perfectly natural, I'm sure.  If it bothers you and you want to find the cause or possible cure, see a doctor.  Otherwise......relax.

That's actually true. A neurologist can help; they can perform a surgery that will sever nerve endings leading to your armpits, in order to stop overexcessive sweating.
