What you are doing is opening the pores with the towel, it's supposed to help with the shave - I think it makes it closer.
...I actually use Corn Husker's Lotion before I shave. It's water and glycerine-based, so it's just like an extra hydrating layer of soap.

Pores do not open. Hot water will make skin swell, which might make it slightly more pliable. My understanding of the hot towel treatment (Google Kyle's Prep) is that its purpose is to soften the hair. Definitely not a bad thing to be doing, and I don't think that is contributing to the weepers.
In those sensitive areas shave with the grain not against, also minimize the pressure you use on your blade.

I'll try to put less pressure on the blade today. Thanks!
