I’ve had this “condition” for all of my adult life, and maybe longer. Oftentimes I’ll notice that the back of my pants are wet, and when I take them off, so are my undies, and if I’ve tucked in my shirt, the back of that as well. I’m assuming that this is just sweat, but why in the world would I sweat there? Even on days when I’m cool and collected, this happens.
Should I be putting antiperspirant there?
Please tell me I’m not the only one this happens to. :eek:

Just a thought, do you have vinyl seats in your car, or do you sit on similar plastic seating that could be making you sweat. If it smells like sweat it probably is sweat, so antipersparnat should do the trick.
I am not a Doctor. What sex are you tdn as that may have relivense to the problem.
By golly, that sounds about right. Normally it’s just my butt, but in warmer weather my scalp can sweat a lot too. At least it appears not to be too serious. And it seems it’s not because of something I did, but rather something my parents did.
Thanks for the link!
It happens if I’m nowhere near a car. I haven’t really noticed if it happens more in some seats/pants/weather than in others. And I’m a dude.
You’re not alone. Ever since I was 15 or so, after sitting down for a day of classes, the seat of my pants would be soaked. It was quite embarrassing, and I went to great lengths to hide it.
I’m 18 now, and it still hasn’t stopped, but fortunately I found a solution (you may not like this):
Menstrual Pads
I affix one to the center-bottom of my boxer-briefs everyday. Takes awhile to get used to, but my pants have always stayed bone dry.
Ehrm, Astro, I just want to be sure that I’m understanding what I read. That site is for people who are so bothered by excessively sweaty hands and armpits that they have a doctr surgically cut of clamp large bundles of nerves next to the spine with the likely unfortunate side effect of sweat pouring out their ass? 
I’m not about to minimize whatever suffering people with hyperhidrosis go through, but doesn’t this seem awfully drastic?!? :eek:
I’m just providing the link of what seems to be a similar scenario. Q the M or one of the other board docs is the guy to ask about the physiological particulars. The only extraordinary sweats I’m familar with are the habanero sweats, and the meat sweats, and I know what causes those.
Well, shit. I just thought I was a sweaty fucker. Learn something new every day (now, if I could just forget about the vaginal tumors…).
Do you smoke?
I was listening to a radio doctor about excessive sweating. He said you get rid of water by sweating, breathing and peeing. Smoking hurts one of the paths and the others pick up the pace.
A friend of my moms has this problem.
Her doctor gave her some sort of cream that she rubs on her butt daily and it takes care of the problem.
Hmm, interesting. Yet another reason to quit.
Can’t offer anything new regarding the “why” portion of your question, unfortunately. However, my husband just ran across an ad for this product in a motorcycling magazine. The product is called “Anti Monkey Butt” powder and was designed by motorcyclists to address just the problem you mention. The website is at, not surprisingly, www.antimonkeybutt.com. Sorry, I wasn’t sure how to post a hyperlink.
He laughed as he read the ad to me and I immediately thought of your question. I suspect my husband will look for this product as well. The AMB website has a list of online retailers.
You have to wonder…with a product going by that name do they ever intend to sell to people not in a motorcycle gang?
