There could be a number of reason.  Perhaps because its precieved as naughty and taboo?  There is also extra lubrication because of menstral blood.  It can also be a pheromone deal.  Female animals menstrate when they go into heat and release pheromone that attract male mates, perhaps on a subconcious, primal level thats why his attraction is stronger.  \n\nMost woman become more aroused before, during or after that special week, so if a guy is okay with it, its a good thing.

In very "human terms" this comes from the basic human reaction of "fight or flight". Whenever there is a situation that puts one "under pressure" whether it is giving a presentation at work or some guy is attacking you with a knife your body reacts to help defend yourself however necessary. When you get like this your heart races, you sweat to cool your body in case you have to work hard, your puples dialate so you can see everything, etc. Your body is protecting itself.\n Hope this helps. If you need claification let me know.

Because men's stomachs have a lot of nerve ends and if she brushes the skin lightly it makes the muscles contract - chicks like that. (I know, I'm one of them)

Here's one theory:\n\nWomen who work or live together tend to get their menstrual cycles in sync. That curious phenomenon known for years by scientists and many ordinary folk, has long been suspected as an indication that humans, like insects and some mammals, communicate subtly by sexual aromas known as pheromones.

Because the women who go in groups to the washroom are extremely social in outlook and don't want to miss a chance to chat and gossip and the others go along to make sure they're not the subject matter of that washroom chat-fest. The men for some reason always seem to think they're being talked about but that's their insecurity kicking in.\n\nIn actual fact, it's just to keep each other company.

in response to some of the other answers:  people that are in really good shape sweat earlier in physical activity than those not in good shape.\nAs far as your friend, maybe she just sweats less noticibly.  if she doesn't sweat her body would overheat during strenuous activity or hot weather.

Umm...men push out their chests when breathing hard, too.  It's just more noticable on women.

The fat insulates their bodies so they sweat to cool off. Their pores are also kind of stretched out. The smell is from the large amount of blood sugar processing and being expelled in the sweat.

For you or your partner? And is your partner male or female?  Men and women have different physiology.

No. the skin is actually the largest organ of the human body and when you sweat you are excreeting waste. This is a very important function of the excretory system and without sweating you could become very sick. Also, sweating is a sort of thermostat. When you get too hot the body sweats, the air hits the water(sweat) and causes your body to feel cooler. So, it's very normal to sweat when it is hot. Now a lot of people sweat more than others and they are actually better off than people that sweat very little. What is important is to shower daily to get the impurities and bacteria off your body from the sweat. This can cause infected sweat glands, hair follicles and just body odor in general. \nNow, exfolliation is a form of removing the outer layer of skin from your body, a lot of girls and women do it to their faces believing the old layer of dead skin cells make you look old. Actually a daily cleansing of the face is really good enough. Witch hazel is cheap, is a natural asstringent and has a PH balancing effect on the face and the pores on the face keeping it in good condition. So it has nothing to do with sweat. Good luck.

Generally speaking, men tend to have more muscle mass and women a higher percentage of body fat.  Muscle generates more heat than fat.

She is exercising, and different people produce different amounts of sweat when doing so.  She apparently has a large production rate.  She may also be a wise one that keeps her body well hydrated with fluids before and after exercise--which help to flush toxins from the body.

actually, it is the body's way to make us perspire so that the cooling effect of our perspiration would help lower our body temperature....
