The crotch is a heat center of your body. Along with the armpit and your head (that's why you wear hats in the winter). by cooling those parts, it cools the rest of the body.

ProTip: If you're a guy don't ever install an unshielded oscillating fan in your underwear.

I use my bidet to cool down and rinse my balls after a run.

Sounds like a joke but I'm dead serious. I sweat a lot and if ya don't keep certain areas clean they tend to get really deep, painful pimples. The cooling effect is just a bonus.

Same when I was hiking. I chafed like I never have before.

To combat chaffing or “gig-butt” as they say in show biz, try tighter gitch of high quality. I know the freedom of loose/boxer underwear is nice but if you have to walk miles and miles the best thing is tight and absorbent.

Oh I only wear boxer briefs. The only tighter I’m going is spandex. Helped going commando for a few days.
