Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Women don’t like to sweat while having sex, so they are less likely to have sex in warm weather, according to the latest climate health claim.
Climate change and your birthday: Is it too hot for sex?
Have you ever wondered why March is a busy birthday month?
A new study suggests Australians are more inclined to exert themselves between the sheets when they can avoid getting hot and sweaty.
Last month the Sunshine Coast had its most fruitful month to date, with a record 258 babies born at Nambour Hospital.
Women’s and Family Services acting director Keppel Schafer said the numbers were in line with the Sunshine Coast’s annual birth pattern.
And he said winter weather conditions were the reason behind last month’s baby boom.
“The ongoing trivia that we have amongst the trade is that it’s the first cool change that the coast experiences in June or July in the year before,” he said.
“That probably sees us very busy nine months later in the following March.
“I think there’s a bit more snuggling under the doona and then there’s a new baby in a bunny rug nine months later.”

All I can say is, thank goodness for alcohol, swimming pools, ceiling fans and air conditioners. Otherwise we warm climate Aussie men would never get lucky.

Just don’t tell the ladies down on South Padre Island.
Some of them seem to have been oblivious to the study’s findings, up to this point.
People that believe in man made global warming are complete idiots. Antarctica has record sea ice. The Arctic has had record volcanic activity umm volcanos melt ice idiots.
“Antarctica has record sea ice. ”
Umm … no it doesn’t. http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/antarctic.sea.ice.interactive.html
And if you are implying that the low Arctic sea ice is because of of volcanic activity, can I suggest you also have a look at the high temperatures the arctic has experienced this year. Try Nick Stokes page here.
http://www.moyhu.blogspot.co.nz/p/latest-ice-and-temperature-data.html#NCAR
I would have thought before you embarked on such simplistic childish name calling, you would have checked you were in fact right?
Antarctic ice is in a long term, rising trend:
You lose again, Simple Simon.
Eddie, you are correct. Simon, umm.. yes it does.
http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/antarctic-sea-ice-reaches-new-record-maximum
Eddie, the Arctic is mostly due to wind patterns, not volcanism
Simon, it isn’t continuously growing in an unstoppable range. However, the Antarctic sea ice is clearly higher than normal.
Finally, Eddie. The world has clearly warmed since the 1900s. How much is up for debate. It is the panic and unwarranted extrapolation that is the problem.
Harold Vanner
Keep up, that article was written in 2014. As of today it is above average for sure but not at a record. The arctic on the other hand is at a record low and it is no surprise with the winter temps they have been having.
Simon, 3 of the last 4 years have had the highest recorded sea ice extent in the Antarctic. What was that you were saying about facts?
“Simon, 3 of the last 4 years have had the highest recorded sea ice extent in the Antarctic. What was that you were saying about facts?”
And so what is your point? That it is now? Because it isn’t and that was the point that Eddie (“Antarctica has record sea ice”)was making before he(of all people )accused others of being idiots.
We skeptics must never call believers “complete idiots”.
They’ll say that about us, of course, but that’s how leftists “debate”.
There is global warming or global cooling all the time near the surface of our planet.
Every day, to be precise!
And longer term trends too.
Cities and towns are much warmer than surrounding countrysides — any thermometers affected by economic growth nearby is likely to record “man made” warming.
Dark soot from burning coal constantly dumped on the snow and ice around the North Pole could lead to the surface absorbing more solar energy (albedo change) = local warming
Global warming is not something you “believe in”.
It is something that can be roughly measured or estimated and is happening roughly 50% of the time.
Claiming that humans are mainly or entirely responsible for warming in recent decades IS something you believe in, since there is no scientific proof of that claim.
Claiming man made warming will cause a climate catastrophe in the future … does make the believer an idiot on the subject of climate change, since there is no known example of runaway greenhouse warming in Earth’s history, with CO2 levels up to 10x to 20x higher than today, according to geologists and other scientists.
Of course just because someone is an idiot on the subject of climate change does not mean they are an idiot on all subjects (i.e.; complete idiot).
In fact, most people are idiots on at least one subject, often many.
Einstein had trouble balancing his checkbook.
So, in the future, to be precise,
please call climate change cult members: “climate change idiots”,
not “complete idiots”.
Richard Greene
“They’ll say that about us, of course, but that’s how leftists “debate”.”
I stopped reading when you (like so many here) tried to make the issue political. For the record I am not left or right. Stick to the science if you want to be taken seriously.
One minute of GOOGLe searching refutes Simon’s misleading claim in his post below:
Antarctica sea ice extent set a record May 2015, and set many records in 2014, after claimed global warming since 1975 … and the warmunist claim that the poles would have the most warming:
http://www.reportingclimatescience.com/news-stories/article/antarctic-sea-ice-sets-new-high-in-may.html
Once again, and for the umpteenth time: the original scare was that polar ice would disappear due to global warming.
But when it became clear that the Antarctic (which contains 10X the volume of Arctic ice) was increasing its ice cover, the alarmist crrowd simply ignored the Antarctic. Now they focus only on the Arctic.
Global ice continues to fluctuate above and below its long term average. There is no declining trend. The alarmist crowd’s “Arctic ice” scare was wrong:

Being a Democrat makes women hate men and want to stop having heterosexual sex.
Response to Simon, in his above comment:
This issue of CAGW is 99% politics and 1% science, in my opinion.
If you ignore the politics, which is the most logical explanation I have for the scaremongering, and bad science … then you need another explanation for the bad science — do you have one?
Predicting the future is not science.
Confuser models of a process not understood (climate change) are not science — they are computer games.
The climate modelers are computer gamers.
Their forecasts are climate astrology.
They will predict whatever the government paying them wants to be predicted.
If you don’t understand the huge political influence on CAGW “science”, then I’m afraid you don’t understand very much about CAGW at all.
The “science” of climate change is in its infant stage — no one knows what causes climate change and no one knows what the future climate will be … except that it will vary.
We do know, with good confidence, that CO2 is not the”climate controller”.
I’m not sure if YOU know that, but reading this website will help straighten you out !
To pretend there is no relationship between left-wing politics and the coming climate change catastrophe cult … is to be blind to the obvious.
The climate in 2015 was the best it has been for humans and plants in at least 500 years — and possibly in thousands of years.
You may not realize that fact, but then you don’t even accept the influence of left-wing politics on the climate change cult and 50 years of environmental scaremongering, starting with DDT in the 1960s — and apparently never ending!
Every environmental catastrophe prediction in 50 years has been wrong.
Game, set, and match goes to Richard Greene.
You lose, Simon.
Richard Greene
Seriously??? Take the tin foil hat off and let the light in. I can’t remember a post that had so many words that said so little. I mean that honestly. If you are so bent on twisting the reality of the situation, then good luck to you.
Richard Greene,
I note that Simon’s response to your comment was 100% bluster, with zero facts.
Simon, when bluster like that is your best argument, you’ve lost the argument.
Climate Change? It thought that was caused by headaches!
Reply to Simon:
Like most leftists, you think character attacks are “debate”.
How sad you choose to exhibit no knowledge of climate change in your comments.
You have the opportunity to take any sentence I write concerning the climate and refute it.
But you don’t try.
I suppose because you can’t?
Your “brilliant” argument is to accuse me of wearing a “tin hat”.
Do you think that statement makes you appear intelligent ?

There doesn’t appear to be enough difference between the months to quibble about. August has 9% of the births which implies a November conception. February had the least with 7%, and a May conception. May here in Colorado is a pleasant month.
My observation has been that marriage makes a woman stop wanting to have sex!
Or it makes men less prone to want to put effort into good sex.
You may very well be correct. I have always found the most powerful form of birth control that exists is my personality!
Especially when the woman gets fat, wrinkly and stops caring how she looks.
Hot places in the world produce a lot of babies -Africa – middle east to name a few, does that mean it’s really cooler than the warmist predict.
PS. I ve spent a lot of time in hot climates and NEVER felt like not bothering – you know what I mean!!!
+1000 and I’m male!
I think the extra 50 pounds she starts wearing has a definite impact. My God, why would any man marry an [snip. Please, that’s over the top.] female or, for that matter, most western womyn? Flat asses, selfish, pathological personalities, always greedy, grasping, dishonest and manipulative.
No. Next?
What we want to encourage here is for more women to get “prone”. The problem’s not with the men.
Yeah, I guess it is a good thing we men don’t get that way.
Oh, wait … never mind.
My Australian GF complains bitterly when the temps drop below 30C. Course she’s middle aged so always ready to fool around. Why oh why aren’t they like that @20?
Or maybe more effort.
Just not with the wife !
It’s not marriage per se that makes a woman stop having sex. It’s the wedding cake that destroys 90% of the female sex drive.
I’ve read that marriage is the sure fire cure for nymphomania
> “August has 9% of the births which implies a November conception. February had the least with 7%, and a May conception. ”
Aug 31 days. 8.5% of the days in a year.
Feb 28.25 days. 7.7% of the days in a year.
Seasonality rounding error.
Good point. Maybe it’s a Mann-made error? Is this a new statistical entity? Will Mikey have a statistical error named after him? Surely he deserves a category all to himself, since no competent statistician would want to share it with him.
Wedding Cake kills the impulse.
It is a well known fact that the one food known with certainty to permanently suppress the female sex drive is wedding cake
You know….you say that Alpha (and several others here have too) but I’ll bet a lot of money that your wife, like most of the married women I know….still freaking LOVES cake. I’ll bet she sees a good piece of cake in a bakery window or on a restaurant dessert tray and gets very excited. I’ll bet her mouth waters and she grins with anticipation. She might tease the idea of having some…or not….but most likely she secretly wants to ask for a piece to go in a take home box if she’s too full from dinner. She acts like a good girl in public, but deep inside…she knows she’s a very bad girl. She might even think about it in the car all the way home….or get up late in the night just to get some.
Alpha, I see all sorts of women eating and enjoying wedding cake before they are married, and when they get married, and all kinds of cake after they get married. If you’ve experienced less sex after getting married that you were getting previously, it’s pretty silly to blame that on sweet, delicious, dependable, non-judgemental, always makes you feel good, enticing, and appetizing….cake. I’m sure it HAS to be something else. 🙂
That’s great! And so true
Hey Aphan, you missed the sarcasm in alpha’s reply. What he means is women have a lot of sex before they get married to lure a man into marriage. Once married the faucet is shut off and the husband is left [pruned]. Forgive me if you were being sarcastic in your reply. I mistook it for nievety.
Nobody gives cheese to a mouse they have already caught…..
Fxstc,
Oh I caught his sarcasm just fine thanks. My point was that he MAY have it wrong. It might be that “wedding cake” kills a man’s ability to be romantic, attentive, work a little to get that woman into his bed. I was hinting that some men should try being more like “cake” and less like pouting dogs…
I realize this thread was all in good fun, but as a woman, I resent the insinuation that women are some kind of predatory creatures that “lure” men into marriage as much as the insinuation that men are stupid, gullible apes that CAN or MUST be “lured” in the first place.
As someone who considers sexual intimacy to be profound, amazing, and wildly fun, I refused to engage in it with any old “ape” that came along. This resulted in numerous marriage proposals from men who wanted to take me to “bed” badly enough that they all seemed to believe that wedding cake was the best aphrodisiac on the planet. Once married, that’s when the fun could begin!
Based on the replies here, the majority of men in this thread either A-have terrible taste in women, and picked real losers to be their life partners,
B-were so naive or oblivious that they were “lured” into marriage by evil, bipolar hags with incredible acting skills prior to the ceremony
or C- are too lazy or dull to continue to excite their women for long and so must resort to sexist, lame, and demeaning humor about the opposite sex as a means to salvage some sort of male ego.
It makes me sad. Both for you AND the women in your life. Maybe you should all talk to Jeff Mitchell who stated he’s still on his honeymoon. I’d bet his wife treats him the way she does because of how he treats her! My husband and I have spent 18 years “getting sweaty”. In fact, it gets better and more adventurous all the time, and HE told me to say that!
For a bit of non-snark, Aphan, I envy you. There is however all too much bad sex out there, rather too little of which I have experienced. Even bad sex is rather good.
Marriage is for men who are tired of having sex.
reminds me of the old joke: How do you get a Catholic girl to stop having sex? You marry her. HA HA HA.
I have always heard it was wedding cake that capped the sex drive. I know I can attest to that.
My observation is the opposite. My wife and I are still honeymooning after 40 years. Everyone is different and the mileage varies accordingly.
As far as this post goes, it might be fun to see what birth rates or sexual activity are by latitude. I really doubt that a couple of degrees of warming will change much. And after 18 years of no warming, I’m a bit puzzled why they think global temperature will rise, when they still haven’t figured out why it has plateaued. It smacks of grasping at straws to get people’s attention.
Which seems to imply that the Solomon Islands, average temp 27*C, have lost all the population due to lack of sex? I didn’t notice that when I was living there.
Not to mention all of Africa..
Might not be a bad idea if there were fewer sprogs in the World. Sadly, it’s not likely to happen. This crap about the warm weather putting people off is a load of warmist nonsense.And you’re right, Bruce, according to warmist ideology, lower birthrates is good. They’re obviously confused too.
If this is true, Canada, with 11 months of winter and July, should have about 20 kids per family!
Hot, sweaty, India, hot, sweaty Indonesia, hot, sweaty, Brazil, and quite a few other places are almost totally unpopulated because no-one in those countries feels like having a shag.
But, I thought that according to Warmunist ideology, lower birth rates, especially in the evil Western countries was a good thing. I’m so confused!
Exactly, but them alarmist are tricky. They think the very idea of intimating CAGW will cause less sex will make men more likely to be for their liberal green dreams.
Wine. Thank-you God. For wine.
And diamonds. Sorry, that was politically incorrect as diamonds are made of evil carbon.
Diamonds are a girls best friend…….and helps a guy get lucky.
Candy’s Dandy,
Liquor’s Quicker,
Pot is Not.
Candy is dandy,
And Lacy is too
But Betty hates sweaty
And wont sleep with you.
😛
Diamonds are NOT a girl’s best friend; distance is!
There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very, very good,
And when she was bad she was even better.
+1,000,000,000
Hmm … they must have talked to my wife.
There you go! I knew this story was just bait to get the good one-liners someone is going to use!
or mine 🙂
I’ve been able to accomplish that by just being in the same room.
It has been known as the “too” disease for a long time now. Not to-night, too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry and I have got a headache, what new?
This is likely to be the worst outbreak of snark since the post on feminist glaciology. Sorry, ladies:-)
I was totally serious.
Just have to learn to train them (be verbal) OR try training videos (internet). But then that could be outside comfort zone and then again some men, just like old dogs, untrainable.
Since we’re being serious, no one cares what women want anymore. Seriously.
So the idea that guile and finesse can replace sheer energy is a myth? I’m doomed!
And you’re right Pamela. It makes a lot of sense for both parties to invest in A/C. Although there are some invigorating things you can do with ice cubes. If the Warmists have their way electricity will be too expensive to use for making ice cubes so there goes sex anyway ;(
Yes, the queens of snark are out already!
Just throw anything up on the wall to see what sticks… what are we on now, the 7th name variation of the latest power-grab? Climate hurtfeelings?
The incidence of hurt feelings are really going up. This is due to climate change.
Intelligent women have long noticed that male man-made global warming fanatics are horrible performers in bed. That’s why they won’t have sex with them anymore. No more complicated than that.
Which is fine, as most male metro-sexual AGW fanatics prefer “being in touch with themselves” anyway. At least, that’s what their women tell me…
Quite so.
So why are all the immigrants and refugees coming from the equatorial regions?
Obviously to reproduce in the cooler climes and then take over by inverse population control.
Because you vote to let them…duh? Same as the libs here in the U.S. You get what you freakin’ vote for…based on lies! And y’all call us Americans stupid…DUH!!!!! I’m so impressed!
For the handouts and the money.
Oh my word…the stupid! it burns!!
1) the premise of the article is stupid…when it’s warm people are outside more, exerting themselves more in activities, vacations, yard work etc and tired people don’t have as much sex. People traveling with their kids have less sex. But people who are hot usually wear a lot less clothing, and are more willing to take off what they are wearing…..ya know?
2) when people get cold, cant go outside, and there’s nothing to do…they snuggle under blankets and have sex! But as any idiot knows, two, naked bodies trapped under one blanket = hot and sweaty!!! So the logic of the entire article is idiotic. The numbers are probably correct but they can in no way indicate what people prefer or do not like about their sexual encounters. Please
And Eric, I suggest….nay….demand… that you change the title of this post…NOWHERE in the article does it lay the blame on WOMEN specifically. It says-
“A new study suggests Australians are more inclined to exert themselves between the sheets when they can avoid getting hot and sweaty. ”
“One reason he gave was that human beings did not want to exert themselves physically in hot weather, due to possible discomfort.”
If you ever want to “get lucky” again, I highly suggest you refrain from blaming “women” for something that even the experts were smart enough not to. I’m guessing that there are plenty of studies showing that sexist men get less sex than non sexist men. 🙂
Hey, its only the depth which varies… 😉
Hay, quit being serious, you will spoil the riff. My woman person is reading over my shoulder.
Interesting, LOL! There’d still inbreds with IQs of cotton balls that think there’s such a thing as global warming
Climate change ruins everything! For instance, I got a bleach stain when I washed my new jeans, all due to climate change.
Hey that happened to me too, now I know the reason I’ll wear them proudly at the next oil pipeline protest!
Since this is on the DRUDGE Report, new readers may have missed the list of things caused by global warming:
http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/warmlist.htm
By now, anyone who still believes in the “carbon” hoax is an incurable eco-robot.
Thanks for this post…will use it in the future
The image is of a Doss Dossi, Giovanni di Niccolo Luteri, “the Embrace” 1526 ish.
Why do the couple have such pained expressions? Must have been a warm day.
“Why DOES the couple……” Not “why DO”. It’s just ONE couple, right. Not several couples. See how that works? One couple DOES (something) – not a couple DO something.
…that explains why there’s no one living in Nigeria
Icelandic people, they’re like rabbits!
No, I think the whole story should be inverted. Androgenic global heating activates sexual desire and causes a feedback loop through population explosion in the Arctic, which already reproduces faster than any other part in the world. It is the canary in the coalmine of reproduction. The ice melts, and we got to ask why!
Well climate change must have always been here then.
Wonder how they managed it during the Medieval Warm Period?? Must have been tough! Oh, I forgot. According to expert climate scientists, there was no MWP. That explains it.
AGAIN….all you adorable sexy scientific hunks you…the article did NOT specify a gender, and it takes BOTH to make a baby….so you might not want to jump on the “women don’t like” bandwagon that Eric created all on his own. This is one of those perfect times to point fingers at another guy and pretend you are much more enlightened and evolved than he is. (If you don’t then it just makes all the stuff your wives do that much more justifiable…if you get my drift. )
*hands on hips, tapping foot, giving you “the look” while shaking her head back and forth with pity*
Must be why we have such an explosion in the population of Alaska
Aphan, the article did not need to imply what most human beings know.
It’s more believable if it was the case of women not wanting to have sex, because the idea of men not wanting sex is laughable. 😀
A good joke but, since the invention of reliable birth control, starting to become out of date.
Aphan,
This is one of those threads where, for the men, “no comment” is probably the best comment.
(Now, how do I activate the [Post Comment] button when I have no comment? One of life’s mysteries.)
It most certainly did: “Women don’t like to sweat while having sex” – try reading comprehension classes!
Now I understand why most of the top sex tourism countries are in the tropics. Couples head to warm waters, balmy breezes, and palm trees, hubby and wife take a barefoot walk along the beach in the evening and she looks into his eyes and says, “Yuck it’s so hot out here! And Eww, I’m all sweaty, I’m going to stay in the hotel room in the A.C. for the rest of the week, wake me up when va-cay is over and we can go home.” That’s the theory, is it? So then the guys’ eyes start straying or something? Makes perfect sense to me… :-/
Marriage and kids also seem to reduce a woman’s desire for sex…
Good satire piece!
Birth rates have nothing to do with climate and everything to do with quality of life. The most impoverish nations have the highest birth rates while those with much higher standards of living have lower.
Paying for kid’s college has an effect, too.
Well then, a vote for bernie is then a vote for more sex.
Yeah but it will be all of us who get screwed.
Great I guess they be no m
