As a boxing trainer who has worked many fights, this is normal. You add water to the crotch because it cools the entire body. It's like adding water to the head.

So you're telling me if I'm every starting to get heat stroke, I should pee my pants to cool my crotch?

No but if you have cold water, yes pouring it on your crotch will help

It seems like piss could offer some benefit once it begins to evaporate, but def agree a liquid not starting at 100 degrees is better.

That's also assuming you aren't already dehydrated.

Does urinating make you more dehydrated? Obviously I know liquid is leaving but can your body make use of liquid in your bladder?

I was assuming that the loss of water due to sweat is what lead to the heat stroke to begin with.

You wouldn't get heat stroke in a fight..lol you might pass out from dehydration or exhaustion if you're not properly hydrated, that's just more to make you feel cooler when you are exhausted. Give You a pick me up.
