Obviously having sex burns calories, but no one has added it to the database. I did some research to find out the average amount of calories you burn having sex.
I was just wondering how other people put this into their diaries? I put it down as "aerobics general" and just put the approximate number of calories,

    Does it not really depend on if one lays on their back and does nothing or is jumping off the wardrobe? :laugh:

    some positions definitely burn more than others. maybe someone should conduct some scientific research into the matter, and come up with average values for calories burned according to position

    THIS

    and if we logged EVERYTHING wow those spare cals would add up!

    100 cals walking to the loo 5 x
    50 cals drinking coffee x7
    30 cals getting dressed
    50 cals running to get the post from the postman
    50 cals washing up x 3

    you get what I am saying!:wink:

    I can assure you, one does not simply lie on one's back and do nothing.
