:oops: I am eighteen years old and have had this problem for quite some time now: my buttocks "sweat." It's is not really a sweating thought because I have been cold before and this problem has occured. It is very embarassing because it will soak threw my boxers and show on my pants. For the most part, the problem occurs at regular times, most of the time but sometimes it just happens. I am to shy to go to the doctor because what will i tell him? Any people who have had this problem or know someone who has and can give me some advice, it would be greatly appreciated!

 From the medical point of view its normal. There is nothing to worry about. Try wearing 100% cotton underpants. They may help absorb the sweat and save you the embarrassment.

Yes i think that it is normal especially that you say it doesnt occur all over the body. Here's a list of some of the causes for excessive sweating.
environmental temperatures (warmth)
fever, often triggers sweating to cool off the body
menopause
overactive thyroid gland#the hands shake, the hair thins, the skin is smooth, and the pulse is fast
diabetics receiving insulin or oral medication may go into a cold sweat when their blood sugar drops too low
periodic sweating of sweating at night without an obvious cause may be caused by an underlying infection or malignancy
emotional or psychological stimulation (being in or thinking about difficult situations)
exercise
spicy foods (known as "gustatory sweating")
drugs (including antipyretics, some antipsychotics, sympathomimetics, caffeine, morphine, alcohol and thyroid hormone)
withdrawal from alcohol or narcotic analgesics
If you start complaining of any of the other symptoms above then I would recommend further investigation.
