AN ice pack on which to rest the testicles just may do the trick. Just don't use dry ice. Believe me....

Really not a whole lot you can do about it. Over time it will diminish though for some reason. But for now, even with a massive industrial fan on you, you're gonna sweat.

Never had that happen to me. Maybe you just nervous subconsciously?

I don't think its his sub-conscience. The same thing happens to me. It didn't happen at first but now when I smoke it I get really hot and I sweat. I smoke 21x extract so I don't know if it would be different with plain leaf or a weaker extract. But, I know exactly what you are talking about. I ignore it as it passes in a matter of a few minutes. One of my friends gets a totally different sensation. He feels like a lot of small needles are constantly poking him. He says it is similar to the way it feels when a limb falls asleep. I have not had that experience with Salvia.

Heya,
 Man this always happens to me and I prefer just plain leaf. I end up literally being soaked by the end of it, kinda uncomfortable at times but worth the ride! :)

Peace

Maybe your bodies are too sensitive to salvorin A and this is slight overdose? I would recomend going off it for awhile merely to get resistence back up.

I haven't used it in at least a month. But, I guarantte that the next time I use it I will still get real hot and sweat. It dosn't matter how long I go I still have this problem.

No..thats definatily not it. A slight overdose with salvia and you wont know what a feeling is let alone be able to feel the heat. This happens to almost everyone. I just got used to it :D

many people do, including myself, sweat a little when taking the extracts. It's perfectly normal stuff. But just remember to relax and enjoy the moment instead of panicking and going crazy. Now that will make you sweat!

The heat (which I experience intensely) has little to do with worry or other psychological explanations.  The receptors at which salvinorin is active have been shown to be involved with temperature regulation, paticularly in the case of hypothermia. So it isn't surprising that such affects are noted.  

A few people have said things like "man, you're just scared of the experience," which leads me to make two obersvations:

One must be careful when projecting one's own psychological processes on those of others, and

One must be careful when adopting simple psychological models when thinking about/describing the deep states of entheogens.

Weird, I go the other way. I usually feel cooler than normal on salvia.

Interesting. It could be the same thing (in the same way that a fever can either make you feel hot or give you chills).
