Let's talk about how the weather affects our libido. I'm currently in Iceland— might be able to see that out the window— where it's -4 degrees. It is absolutely freezing here, and I can tell you, as much as I do crave the warmth, I am not feeling horny at all. But apparently December is a month in which people feel frisky, and the research says that testosterone and it doesn't really like the heat. It prefers the cold, and people tend to get a bit friskier in December, although there's some research that suggests that's complete bullshit and people get hornier in the summer. The jury is out on this one, but I'm curious to know, do you find your libido gets higher when you're colder? Or like me, couldn't give a toss at the moment about having sex. I'm way too cold.
