Pretty sure fems can benefit from having less crotch sweat, too.
But what if it dries up your snatch?!?
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 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!
Both of these just let in outside air so maybe that's the difference. Could also be I'm in a dry climate. I imagine in the south with dew points over 70f it feels different than here with dew points below 0f.
Could be - I've never lived anywhere but humid.

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!

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.
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
That's a bizarre reaction, I use them every day
No joke that's why I don't like heated seats except on the very lowest setting (which is till sometimes too high). Feels like sitting in a puddle of warm piss.
I just want vented seats for those days where the seat material gets so hot, because to get any decent features in most new cars you HAVE to get the "leather" instead of fabric.

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.
No ventilated seats are objectively more useful.
Your seat will passively heat up from your own body heat over time. That is not the case when you need the cooler air from ventilated seats.

Alot more expensive, heated seats ate insulation and heating coils, pretty simple, ventilated seats are more expensive, and because they are more expensive and more requested they are a premium

...and women?
Cooter Cooler rolls off the tongue better.
Fanny blaster
Vag Ventilation
Fanny Fan, surely?
Agree 👍 would Ball Blaster work?
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 think the ventilated seats in my parents’ new Kia Niro are a better option actually.
