    Show of hands: if a friend logged one minute of sex on MFP, who would comment and make fun of said friend? That's why it's not in the database.

    I've posted this before and I am just a curious guy, so one night I wore my HRM (wrist cuff). I just logged it as "Aerobics General." Wouldn't want to dishonor my lovely wife.

    How many calories did you burn???

    Enough and I only logged it once as I was curious, and I thought this post was humorous.

    Maybe not. Maybe they're either cheating on their girlfriend/wife, or cheating on their workout.

    If I remember correctly Sex is supposed to be 144 calories per half hour................lol. I just don't remember where I found it. :blushing:

    I googled it recently. Found an article that said there are too many variables to calculate the calories burned. They also said that generally people don't work hard enough for long enough to amount to many calories. :blushing:

    There's a listing on another calorie website and my boyfriend thought it was funny to log it without telling me."
    More or less this. I think 45 minutes of sex burns less than 45 minutes in the mall, sadly.

    I once read that The Big O burns one whole calorie. If you're counting on sex for weight loss, you better get busy! :D

    (And, for the record, I looked for sex on the exercise list too.)

    I looked also, can't find it by it's other name either. "horizontal monkey dance" = No results found.

    144 X 7 = 1,008 minutes. OK thanks

    I once read in a fitness magazine that a person who is 150 pounds burns about 140 calories for 30 mins of sex. Obviously, the number will be a little different depending on the person's weight and how much of the work they're actually doing. Personally, I don't count it. I don't count daily activities such as working or housework, so I don't count sex either. =) Hope this info helps.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks sex should be listed, lol.
    Especially as vigorous as mine can be!
    I think anything that gets your heart racing and your lungs gasping for breath for 1 to 4 hours should count for something!
    :)

    we should talk...soon...
