    The only way to really tell is to give a full description with all details of said sexual activity.

    Sex is really great cardio. Sweaty, racing heart, and out of breath. Any idea how many calories are burned so that I can log it?

    If you're counting sex as any kind of calorie burn, you're giving yourself too much credit... or your partner just lays there.

    Have you considered that you're not being creative enough?

    2.5 minutes of strenuous activity doesn't really count, sorry.

    I almost miss the days of driving to a hotel and doing nothing but having sex for 2 days straight.

    man - when did we get old? LOL

    What days are those again? I don't recall those in my history.

    we were drunk on soco and pizza. i don't think anyone remembers anything LMAO

    They say sex is like running 5 miles, but whoever runs 5 miles in 3 minutes?

    I don't recall these days either. Maybe this has not been introduced in Wisconsin yet. **Patiently waits for 2 day hotel sex to become a thing**

    **Disclaimer** Not accepting friend requests, and happily married :smiley:

    My natural musk scent and generally lovable aura usually sends the women into a wild frenzy. In my mind of course. Sounds like I should think about altering my approach. You sir, have changed my life.
    Shoot, I need to start inspiring myself with this kind of hollow advice instead of giving it for free.
