Does anyone consider sex as a form of exercise??? If you do how do you log it on MFP!

Thought id put it in this forum as I don't wanna sound stupid on the other forums

Depends on how you have sex! I use aerobics high impact.

I think I would just lump sex in with your BMR unless sex for you is very rare

I never log it, it's never a few mins and would be considered a good work out but it's like a secret work out that burns extra cals lol

Exercise should be something new that you do - not something that you did along the way to get to your current weight. Seriously - house cleaning - light to moderate effort??? ROFL. (It's there - look it up!) Count this sort of thing is you want to post messages in a few weeks asking why you are not losing.

Jump on a treadmill, elliptical, go for a 3 mile walk/run/bike ride, do calisthenics, lift weights...now that counts.

I don't count any household activities..sex, cleaning, laundry, running around with my child..none of that. I didn't even count tiling my tub surround or installing doors.

I will log tennis, cycling, hiking, lifting, etc.

Wear your heart rate monitor ... Report back after the ....errr ... event and let us know how many calories you burned.

Calculator for calories burned during sex: http://www.sexcalculator.co.uk/

You can log it as whatever aerobic exercise you like and change the calories you've burned.

You probably shouldn't log sex you were having anyway as that's part of your baseline calorie burn. However, if you're doing new, inventive, and more frequent things with your suddenly skinny body, count those calories as a job well done.

Thanks all.

There's no need. At least you're not logging cat food.

I think ours has more protein than theirs. Theirs gives me a high carb count (so sweet)

http://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/sex-workout

Men burn 100 calories in the average sex session, while women expend 69
...
“The level of intensity that is exerted from sexual activity could be higher than that of walking at [3 miles per hour] but less than that of jogging at [5 miles per hour]”
...
To calculate how many calories you burn the next time you have sex, multiply the time in minutes by 4.2 (for men) or 3.1 (for women).

100 / 4.2 = 23.8 minutes
69 / 3.1 = 22.3 minutes
So it looks like the men are doing it right, making sure the woman is taken care of first...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2534869/Forget-gym-sexercise-best-way-slim-Making-love-burns-calories-30-minute-jog.html

The study, Energy Expenditure During Sexual Activity In Young Healthy Couples, found that, on average, men burned 4.2 calories a minute during sex compared to 9.2 on the treadmill. Women burned 3.1 calories a minute during sex and 7.1 jogging
...
both men and women reported that sexual activity was highly enjoyable and more appreciated than the 30-minute exercise session on the treadmill.

I this answer!

The next obvious question then becomes:
At what point do you stop logging it as activity & figure that it's included in your daily activity?
After how many weeks/months of the new activity (any new activity) occurring how frequently, for what duration?
