They are physiologically different from us gringos.It is beyond me how I could be standing next to a chica who has on full make-up and wearing one of those blue polyester pant suits that some schools use and is not working up a bead of sweat and there I am sweating like a sweathog.
I have a question for those who live in the DR, or visit for extended periods of time.
How long did it take for you to become acclimatized to the heat?
During my travels to the DR, I find the daytime heat to be overwhelming
(especially during the summer months). When does this stop?
Did you ever notice foreigners when they meet on the street, for example, stand in the sun to talk, Dominicans never do. They always move into the shade of a building, under a tree, or some other place where they are out of the sun.
I noticed the exact same thing....
heck many dominican walk around with umbrellas during the super sunny days!
Awww too bad, nookie nookie is great in the heat, especially when you're sweating!!!
BTW..where did you hear the term nookie nookie? I thought that was an AA thing.
Those of us from Northern Europe or North America have to deal with temperature variations from 50deg to minus 10deg. So we have to deal with a 60 degree change during the seasons.

Am I the only person, wondering what an AA is?The term most frequently heard at the AA's is "cheeky cheeky" - avoid this in the afternoons if bothered by the heat.

Are you talking about AIs?
All Inclusive resorts?

I lived in Florida for a stack of years and could not do it without aircon. I found in the DR I could happily live without aircon with good fans and evening breezes. The humidity in Florida was just too high so I felt the Florida heat more than in the DR.

That's what the UBHs say to tourists.
I somehow doubt that the expression has infiltrated Alcoholic Anonymous' vocabulary.
Heck.....
Maybe a good bout of sex has become the 13th step?
