Cooling off when hot, or warming up when cold, which is achievable quicker and more effectively accomplished?

It’s much easier for me to cool down. When I’m cold, it can be hours before I get warm again unless I’m provided with a very warm environment to recover in.

^ What do you do when you need to cool off super fast and are there any disadvantages, like if you can do it being nude, now you can’t go get the paper from the porch, or is the negatives so minor as to not be taken into consideration? How fast does your cooling method work, in minutes, seconds, or longer?

They are both about equal IMO, most of the time.
To cool down a cold shower, hop into the cold hot tub or pool, get naked in front of the fan. haha
Now, the best way to warm up involves water as well, a hot bath/shower is the ticket.
I am addicted to my electric throw blanket, have it on “high” right now, getting my bed super toasty warm.

Mmmm good!

To cool down I wear less clothing, turn on the air conditioning, jump in the pool or go to a place with air conditioning.

To warm up, I put more clothing on, grab a throw and snuggle under it or put wood in the fire.

I’d rather be cold than hot. I hate being hot and sweaty unless I can access the means to cool down and in public, you can only take off so many clothes and still remain decent.

For me it’s much easier to cool down.

I even use a saying for warming up and how difficult it is—it’s easier to stay warm then to get warm.

It’s much easier for me to get warm. I can move around, get under a blanket, put on my very warm slippers, take a warm shower, put on another shirt or stand in front of the fireplace.

If I am too warm, I can only remove just so much clothing if I am in public before I get arrested. Even completely unclothed at home, it can take a long time for me to cool off.

I always say, “I can put on more clothes, or a blanket, or raise the heat, but I can only get so naked.”

It is true; you can only remove so much clothing in public. I am curious if you are cold already how many extra hats, jackets, socks, etc. would you need to put on to be comfortably warm in a short time? How does having three or more pairs of gloves (if you don’t have highly insulated gloves, and sometimes those don’t work if it is cold enough) make it difficult to use a cell phone, open the door with a key, drive, close snaps, etc.? How many socks before your shoes don’t fit or are too tight? If you just add one glove, and not artic quality, your fingers would get un-numb with the same speed as if you walked into an air-conditioned mall on a very hot day? If you are freezing do you put on extras pants?

@tedibear Even completely unclothed at home, it can take a long time for me to cool off.
So, it is blistering, you walk into an air-conditioned mall it takes you X amount of time to be comfortably cool?

It is freezing, your toes are numb and your fingers too, you sit down in a warm restaurant, it will take X amount of time to be comfortably thawed out?

Well I don’t think I’ve ever needed more than one pair of gloves or more than one hat. Where I live I don’t need a coat except on very cold nights when I go to a footy match or something. If I was in a cold climate even I can’t see that I’d need more than one pair of thick socks or one pair of gloves or a scarf and hat, over the top of my warm coat, which might be over a jumper, which might then be over a shirt or tee shirt, jeans/skirt and tights and boots.

@Hypocrisy_Central – Yup. Minimally twenty minutes. Which is a long time to me, because when I’m warm, I’m so uncomfortable that time creeps along. To thaw out, maybe five minutes.

PS: I assume you know that I wouldn’t be naked in a mall! :-)
