Staying sane in a summer sizzle!
Issue date: 5/1/08
If this past Saturday was any indication, the upcoming months should be sunny and warm. While some people may find such weather to be pleasant, others, such as myself, are more prone to finding it uncomfortable and overwhelming. While it may be tempting to hide in your air conditioned room throughout the summery season, there are several ways to keep cool while keeping social, or at least within the company of one special someone.
The easiest way to cool down is to take off your clothing. I personally am more a fan of winter because you can always layer on more sweaters, but there is only so much you can take off before you're ripping off layers of skin. While you cannot necessarily walk around naked on a daily basis, you can wear as little as possible. Call me a skank when I venture out scantily clad in the summer, but it's self preservation. The heat can melt you, especially if you're in a city mid-July. Cute sundresses that seem fashionable are actually just being health conscious!
Now, while you're naked or wearing next to nothing, there is always the very distinct possibility that you will run into somebody else wearing next to nothing, find his or her next-to-nothingness attractive, and end up wearing absolutely nothing together.
While sex and summer flings can both be highly enjoyable activities, they also involve intense physical activity, if done correctly. Even if naked as the day you were born, scintillating encounters can still leave you in an uncomfortable sweat.
There are several ways to try and remedy this. The first would be to take advantage of the summer and have your tryst in a pool. I'd suggest a beach, but not only is it cliché, it also very impractical - sand, enough said. However, if you're lucky enough to own a private pool in your home, take advantage of it at night when you don't have friends over for a pool party, please. Unless you're into that kind of thing, in which case, I'm not one to judge. Or, you could use some cheesy wipe-off-the-grime-of-a-hard-day's-work line and get it on in the shower. Either way, water is always an easy remedy to heat. Basic physics, or is it chemistry?
