Dilemma

Which would be worse - a world without sex, or a world without electric blankets?

I found a decent woollen underlay does the trick, so a world without electric blankets can't be all that bad.

But without sex, humans would die out. I think that's probably the better world in the long run.

It'd be a bit of a drastic measure though.

Yes, I suppose it would be a slow and unpleasant extinction... but a warm one.

You non-electric-blanket people must be a new breed of superhuman. You don't morph into an unstoppable killing machine, by any chance?

That'd be kind of amusing. Hey - perhaps we don't need them because we already have a strong resistance element. Ha! Hahahahaha!

I don't know about unstoppable. Unstoppable by a slightly chilly mattress, indeed, but as vulnerable as ever to high fences and trivial distractions. I don't know about killing machine, either... more of an angry whiner.

A woollen underlay is pretty good, you know. That and a box-stitch (proper, with internal walls) goose down duvet. Then there's nothing with the thermal mass that can really feel cold for more than a few seconds when you get in.
