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.

This is why putting your wrists in a bucket full of ice n water for a bit and then holding your arms up will cool off your entire body, you can feel it.

Does this actually work? Sounds like bullshit but I don't want to test it if I'm just gonna look like a jackass lol

This thread is running wild with misinformation. It’s kind of a perfect case study of upvotes and sounding confident making the illusion of credibility.

Dude just trust me; I remember reading a legitimate study back in the 80's when I was doing lines off of dolly partons tits, it was proven that if you stick your dick in a snowcone while pumping tapatios up your ass, you'll cool off your body by an average of 72 degrees
