Even when we are at the beach on a hot day or have just gotten out of a hot shower. Is it because the water cools downs and then absorbs heat from your body? Or could it be that your hairs are stuck down so piloerection isn't effective? Or simply that our bodies are exposed with little or no clothing on?
