I'm not sweating? Not during high heat, sex or vigorous workout?

[Anonymous]

I see all these people absolutely drenched while working out, but I'm over here busting my ass with not a drop of sweat. I think my body just runs hot. I use to be in track and field (sprinter), my coach would have us run in 100°F and up. I still wouldn't sweat. I was just talking to my mom about this and she said that her mom never broke out in sweat. I know I'm properly hydrated... Could something else be wrong with my body?

There is nothing wrong. My ex-wife when we were first together did not perspire even on a beach in Majorca when it was 100 degrees F. We later get married and had children. After having the first child she noticed a difference and when it was hot she would sweat.
Don't worry, women are complicated and nothing is simple, but it does not mean anything is wrong, it just means you are unique. Maybe a little bit special?

oh? :o That's interesting... Children really do change a woman's body

Sweating isn't a reaction to vigorous workouts, but to the heat generated during it. It's a means for cooling down the body if the body can't cool itself in other ways.
It simply means you're able to keep your body tempered. I'd guess it's a genetic trait. Might want to check up at the doc though to make 100% sure it isn't a mutation making you unable to produce sweat...
but some sweat a lot, others not so much.

I think it is genetic as well, although my dad just sweats while sitting there no matter how cold it is. Heat doesn't really effect me as much as direct sunlight will... If that makes sense?

[dartmaul15]

Your grandma on the mother's side suffered the same, and you do. Seeing as your father does weat, i'd say it's inherited from your mother's side.
And yeah, it does make sense. Seems your body is very well adapted to warm weather and heat. I guess you get cold faster than others too?

[Asker]

yes I do get cold very easily... how do you know that?

[dartmaul15]

Because pick one. The body is generally only adaptable in one direction, because you don't see extreme heat and extreme cold in the same places.
Me for example; i'm from norway and handle cold easily, but don't you dare dragg me out in the heat! Then you have others who are the other way.

[Asker]

you make a great point! I never would have thought of it that way. I'm still going to go to the doctor just to make sure, but than you for putting my mind at easy :)

[dartmaul15]

No problem :)
Just happy to help, that's all

its healthy to sweat, it means your body is working quickly and efficiently, the sooner into a work out you sweat the better off your body is... i personally would be concerned.

[Krushbrownies]

You probably have either two disorder. Anhidrosis is a complete absence of sweat or hyphohidrosis lacking sweat (less than normal.).. Either one is bad and can lead to life threatening situation such as heat stroke. Be careful.

[Asker]

Yeah... :/

[GamerArtNerd]

I'm the sane way. I'm extremely slim and tall so I think my body type just disipates heat easily without the aid of sweat. What's your body type?

[Asker]

I'm a petite mesomorph._. Small an athletic
