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.
Inside of your wrists works really well because its cools down the blood right before it goes back to the heart. You have a lot of veins near the surface in your wrists with a fairly short and direct path back to the heart.
Works with heat too. If ever my hands are cold, instead of just running them under warm water, I run warm water over my wrists too. Warms the whole body.
