Most questions have been asked a thousand times on mfp

Lets be honest: the search function is a bit rubbish

See, I thought it was until I started putting quotes around what I was looking for

It's an older style search function, unless you are used to those, rather than the more robust Google style engines, you can have trouble finding things.

I consider sex part of normal activity not exercise.
Depending on what you do would burn different amounts of calories.
I'd only count it as exercise if you are doing something above your normal level of effort.

And for some folks it may very well be above their normal level of effort. Considerably above lol

if your mind is on how many calories you are burning while having sex, someone is doing something wrong.

Showing up with earbuds on is bound to kill the romance.

Sex, in and of itself, isn't much of an exercise, but you can burn a lot of calories afterwards, running away from the mall security guards.

[let the record show that this is a public sex joke, not a rape joke.]

I’ve seen a few posts on fb about the best positions for burning calories during sex and most of them have at least one person in some ridiculous position like holding themselves up in a bridge like pose. The calories for these ranged for 45 to 100 calories but there’s no way I could hold any ice those positions for 30 mins. It might be worth logging if someone was in the porn industry having hours of sex each day

If house cleaning is considered excercise then yes sex is as well!

Depends on how fast you can move your right hand.

So let's say x is the object - for real life example- we will make a reasonable assumption.

Size is 10 cm or 3.93 inches- so from bottom to top motion is 3.93 inches /10 cm- now all you gotta do is measure the speed hand moves at and voila speed x distance = time -Now so 30 seconds to a 1 min worth of exercising = check heart rate and put it in a calculator and note the calories.

All in all I'd say negligible. Ergo don't count these in your workout regime.

That depends if you are the one doing the pumping.

"these zombies have come back from the dead with the sexual ferocity of a young Wilt Chamberlain"

(Note: as explained in the link, the movies sound super offensive, but there are only so many zombie sex options.)

I wanted to post a relevant zombie meme and did NOT want to search for one. You have done us all a service
