Men expend 120 calories during half an hour of sex and women use up 90, say researchers from the University of Quebec in Canada.

That is just under half the amount they would burn in a 30-minute jog. For brief periods during sex, some men used more energy than they did while on the treadmill.

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.

☺️☺️☺️

    This is an actual conversation that happened at my house last night.

    Me: Let's go run
    DH: How far are we supposed to run today?
    Me: 2 miles
    DH: Can't we just have 2 miles worth of sex?

    I am told that some *uhum* types of sexual activities are also great for developing one's biceps.

    So there's that.

    LOL I got one better. So I was with a woman for a brief few months. Somehow I think I persuade her, since she saw what weight loss was doing for our sex life, to change her ways. She was deciding to go to the gym.

    One night our conversation went like.

    Her: Ok so what time are we waking up tomorrow and what are we going to do exercise or have sex?
    Me: You do know I can just go to the gym after work right?
    Her: good because sex is a great workout.
    Me: :confused: SMH.
