Confusion on Chaffing: Re: [at-l] Another reason not to wearunderwear!

[david.anderson@tfp.com (Anderson, David)]

Well, I'm fairly sure it's genetic.. my father and I both sweat like madmen.
Now it's actually an odd combination for me.  My mother doesn't sweat much,
but she likes temperatures about 5 degrees lower than normal (freezes my
father).  This temperature problem seems to be genetic as well.  Put me into
a room warmer than 75 degrees or so and I start sweating up a storm.. once
it hits 90, I'm pretty much dripping.

I have seen this too.  I have guys in my martial arts class who sweat so
much that the floor underneath them is wet.  There are others who are
performing the same exertion who sweat very little.  I myself sweat almost
not at all.

Does anybody have any idea as to why this is?
