I have a t-shirt that reads, "I'm still hot - now it just comes in flashes." If you're a woman suffering from frequent hot flashes, you may have trouble feeling the other kind of 'hot'. In fact, sex itself may induce a hot flash. It can be a challenge to keep up an active sex life when you have trouble staying cool even without your partner's body heat added to the mix.
Staying cool so you can stay 'hot' may take some creativity. You can mount one of those clip-on fans to the headboard of your bed (also great for middle of the night hot flashes). You can experiment with ice cubes and chilled body lotions. A cold drink on your bedside table may help. Try lowering the thermostat about 10 degrees before heading off to bed. Since your partner may wake up shivering in the morning, pile an extra blanket on his side of the bed or ask him to adjust the thermostat before going to sleep.
With some creative problem solving, hot flashes don't have to put a chill on your sex life. Think cool and stay 'hot'.
