I think most of know that men generally prefer cooler temperatures than women do. One summer, I attended a lecture about bats, and the speaker said that female bats sleep at the top of a bat house because it's warmer. Sometimes, they will all find a warmer place to sleep, while the males prefer a cooler environment.

The graphic below is part of a comic strip about tortoises. I thought it was interesting that higher temperatures cause the eggs to hatch as females.

Very interesting!

I've recall reading similar sensitivities involving conception?

Are you saying that only the female eggs hatch in hot weather and the male eggs hatch in cold weather? So the gestation time is temperature dependent?

The source of this information is The University of Texas, MD Anderson Tumor and Cancer Research Center in Houston Texas. I worked there in Medical Communications/Dept. Pathology. It is known as MD Anderson Hospital.

Some statistics would come across our desks all the time. One of great interest to anyone is that best recovery rate for a patent is to be with in a 1/10 of a mile of a hospital, the worst recovery rate is to be IN the hospital. The recovery rate drops as you get away from the hospital until you reach a point hundreds of miles when the rate reaches the same rate of recovery as being in the hospital.

Here goes with temperature. Women's vaginas are different temperatures at rest. African American temperature are lower than Caucasian women by 2 degrees F. In Caucasian women, women with dark hair (natural color) were et as a base line, where blonds were an average of one degree of F higher. It was the natural carrot top women where their vaginal temperature was 2.5 to 3.5 F higher than dark haired Caucasian women.

Native American and Hispanic women, were also found to have elevated temperatures for the vagina of from 1 to 3 degrees F, compared with the average dark haired Caucasian women.

In addition, a foot note observed that natural red heads have an elevated acidity in their vaginas higher than other women who were part of the test group.

The research was to find information that might find conditions in women and conditions related to cervical cancer.

Careful, Mississippi finds out about this and they will pass a law that anyone who alters their vagina temperature away from that that best supports conception will be jailed.

Well, maybe that is why we refer to gorgeous females as hot -- not so much men. Men are usually referred to as buff or ripped.
