Also, you don’t freeze in space, you burn. Without physical contact with anything to pass heat off onto, heat accumulates in your body non-stop, albeit slowly.
As anyone with night-vision goggles will tell you, the human body radiates quite well in the infrared. So you do indeed freeze in space – in the absence of direct illumination or insulation. This is also the primary method spacecraft (satellites) shed heat as well.
