Pretty sure fems can benefit from having less crotch sweat, too.
But what if it dries up your snatch?!?
I suddenly understand the Korean concept of fan death
Real bestof material
Probably a good thing
Definitely not, it's like a dog's snout, moist snatch is a sign of good health

Ventilated seats may do this but better.
I've owned two cars with ventilated seats. In both, I never used the function more than twice because the primary result was less "oh, how refreshing" and more "did I wet myself?!"
On a hot day I once turned it on for a passenger without saying anything (it had been a few years of owning the car and I forgot the side effect). He had never been in my car before and didn't know about the function. (I promise I wasn't trying to prank him, I just forgot). Within a few minutes he asked me to pull over because he was worried he'd had an accident.
In short, I don't recommend ventilated seats.
That's a bizarre reaction, I use them every day
That's wild! I've had it in two cars and in the summer after getting sweaty outside it's pretty great. Though I get used to it pretty quickly so I have to turn it off and on again semi frequently. Both cars also ventilated the lower and mid back which was nice.
Ah, mine never did anything but right below the butt, so perhaps that's why I feel differently. The main car in question was also a 2014, so perhaps the technology hadn't been fully developed by then. It was also "air conditioned" rather than "ventilated," but I'm not sure if there's a difference other than the name.
Though I'm sorry I can't share the joy, it's great that you benefitted!

That's because at the beginning the seat is hot and that needs to cool too, ventilated seats are amazing, especially if you are like me and have swamp butt/like to sweat on your back
My current car has ventilated seats. Use them every time I drive in summer.
Finding another car is now more difficult because I can never go back to not having them. Never I tell you!
Apparently, you could just wet your pants.
Dr. Gangrene would like to have a word with you.
My firends BYD has them, he can also turn them on via the app to pre cool or heat them if he wanta. Kinda fuuny to be in the car and says to the in car assistant "Hey BYD,.my balls are hot" and it turns the seat cooling on :)

Walk me through this. What’s the sensation that made you think that?
Well, as an adult I've never wet myself, but - especially while wearing jeans - them feeling cool and stiff, such as the AC made them feel, is exactly how I imagine it would feel if they were flooded with warm liquid that then cooled.

They do....but they're a hell of a lot harder to find than an old hose. Idk how vented seats aren't more common. Much more useful than heated.
Depends on the climate
I live in the south and they seem to be a rarity here. Most every car above the base models have heated seats for some reason. My wife loves it, but it's useless for me. I think I've used mine once in 3 years.

Even just talking about arms, it's amazing how much more they can get cooled when the air is perfectly aimed to go down my sleeves...

Cooter Cooler rolls off the tongue better.
Fanny blaster
Fanny Fan, surely?
Vag Ventilation
Agree 👍 would Ball Blaster work?
...i shopped a saab 9000 back in '99: ventilated seats, man, pure luxury...
I miss my Saab. Best heated seats too
I think the ventilated seats in my parents’ new Kia Niro are a better option actually.
Do they still got farts in the headrest?
Even freshly showered balls still have that distinct ball smell. The soap just mixes with it and now you have a light floral addition to the sweaty ball smell.

thank you for your information mysterious Lemmy ball fondler 🙏🙏
Gotta get the right soap. I have some specifically for balls, and I can go like 4 whole hours before the smell starts creeping back.
But I seem to have the opposite gene from the one south east Asians have that makes them have no BO, so I'm sure regular people will have better results.

I’m no expert but I feel like that might cause chapped lips for other folks.
