I'd be wary of making things TOO dry, especially via heat. Remember, lubricants 
evaporate, too!

The goal should be to control humidity, NOT eliminate it. I'd guess that if you 
can keep humidity within 40% to 60%, you'll be safe from fungus without drying 
up all the lubricants that you need for smooth operation. Plus, your skin will 
be silky smooth, too. :-)
