What Temp Do you Heat Your Home To In Winter?

This is a bone of contention between my wife and me. What do other Lushies prefer. 21c is about right for me — though I do prefer a source of heat I can home in on, not just be warm from the ambient air.

Mrs. Bydesign loves to luxuriate at a chilly 18c "Brrrr!".

I don't heat in winter, but then, I live in Southern California. I have some nice wool slacks and sweaters, if it drops below 60f or so. I'll occasionally light a fire, but that's mostly for Miss Pixel's benefit.

I have never turned the heat on in my apartment.

From Feb to about Nov, I have the air conditioner on constantly.

All other times I generally have the balcony door open 24/7.

One of my pet peeves is that during winter, people often ramp up the temperature so much indoors to compensate for the outdoor temp. For your own home this is fine, but in public places this is a nightmare.

When you are travelling outside in very cold weather not only do you bundle up but your body temp rises to compensate. Then if you go inside to a super heated building it's a fucking nightmare.

Especially at night, I prefer the ambient temperature to be cold so I can snuggle up under a warm blanket.

cooler temps mean more snuggling, cuddling, and sex, so yeah, we don't over do it on the temp. about 65F usually. just make sure you wear suitable clothes for it and it's comfy. I've always worn socks and my hoody when inside, so it's not that big a deal. smile

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

A legend in my own mind!
Let's see, when i lived in Florida my home didn't even have a heater. The few times the temp dropped I had a wood stove to warm things up. In Northern Ca, I found a minimum of 70 was needed to be comfortable. But it was also an old apartment building, retrofitted with heat so the 70 on the thermostat meant about 65 in the apartment. The was doable, but the weird thing is if you bumped the 'stat to 71, the apartment was over 70 for some reason and too warm. Here in NY, north of NYC, my thermostat sits at 66 in the winter. A separate thermometer says it keeps my house between 64 and 68 and works pretty well. Anything cooler and I found my hands start to hurt, the beginnings of arthritis, I believe. Anything warmer and it's actually uncomfortable, especially going in and out.

The thermostat is set to 67F, but that only heats the upstairs to 65F and I spend most of my time upstairs. The guys mostly stay downstairs when friends are over, so everyone is happy with the temps.

When with the furnace/thermostat, 70 daytime and about 60-62 at night, just throw an extra blanket on the bed and snuggle close! A fire in the fireplace is much harder to control the temps, but when it gets too warm, clothes can come off. Unless parents or other family are visiting.

20C daytime, 16C at night. Used to turn it down during the day when we were all out at work (wife and I) or school (son). However, wife is now retired, I am working from home, and son lives in another city for university/work, so we've kind of backed off on that.

I heat my house with sex - the hotter the sex, the warmer our bedroom!

Ah yes, friction! Rub two bodies together to light a fire!

Let's see, Luca, if I'm ding the conversion right that's about 70 F for you and 64 F for Mrs. ByDesign That's pretty close to ours, although it's day/night specific, for us not he/she. We're 70 daytimes (Although Mrs. Dog would push it to 74 or 75, but we're on propane at $500/tank. At her setting, that's about a month.) and 61 at night as we both like to sleep cool and extra blankets.

Right now it's not running much. We're in the midst of our 6 to 8 week stretch of "open windows" time, then it switches over to A/C til October... It's not the heat, it's the humidity. No, strike that; it's the damn heat too!

I didn't have my heater on in the last couple of years before the pandemic, unless I had visitors. Summer or winter. It started as kind of a challenge to myself to see how low I could go. It came down to 13˚C (~55˚F) at a few times

But now, with all the working from home during the pandemic, I put the heater at 18˚C (~64˚F). I noticed that I can't handle the lower temperatures that well anymore and almost always wear a hoodie inside.

Around 60. If it gets colder than that, there are always sweatpants and hoodies. And extra blankets

My home is always set to 55⁰F.


If your smart temperature device isn't locked then you best believe that I am going to turn it down to 55⁰F.

A single layer of latex is bit chilly at 55˚F, not?

Depends on the thickness.

Plus, you'll warm me up.
