QUESTION OF THE DAY:why do so many women have COLD bottoms in bed?

My wife Stephanie  says Nick and I have a little problem in the bedroom. It became apparent on one of the first nights we spent together. We fell asleep spooning, nestled in the warm blanket of new love.

I’m not sure what time I awoke, but I distinctly remember the cold. It was as if someone had placed ice blocks under the John Lewis duvet. I had goose bumps and my stomach and thighs were pressed against something cold and hard.

‘She’s passed away in her sleep,’ I panicked. I felt around under the covers for signs of life. There was nothing; just my lovely girlfriend’s freezing, lifeless buttocks.

Terrified, I reached over to the bedside table to get a mirror to hold under her nose and check for signs of breathing. That’s when her eyes opened and I got the shock of my life.
It was my first introduction to a set of buttocks that can get so cold, they create their own microclimate.
We’ve always put this weird biological anomaly down to the fact Stephanie suffers from a condition called Raynaud’s syndrome, which is triggered by cold temperatures and causes blood vessels in her extremities to go into a temporary spasm, blocking the flow of blood.
It frequently leaves her fingers and toes deathly white or bruised-plum purple. With the addition of her ice-block bot, it can sometimes feel like crawling into bed with Nosferatu.
