Sex file: He hates making love in the summer — why?

My libido ramps up in the summer but it's the opposite for my husband

If the weather is warm, the best time of day to have sex is in the morning because body temperature lowers overnight

Q: "The summer seems to ramp up my libido, but it does the opposite for my husband. He stops initiating altogether and can't seem to get in the mood, even if I do. He says he hates getting hot and sweaty and gets grumpy about both. Why does hot weather have such opposite effects on our sex drives?"

A: THIS letter was obviously written during last month's heatwave. I actually begged my husband to put the heating on during the recent cooler spell. He refused. He says it's because it is July, but really it's because he, like your man, hates being hot. I'm not saying it's a gender thing, but in my experience it is generally women who feel the cold and men who hate the heat. There may be an evolutionary explanation for this.
