Sex and calories

Monomatapa

One session of sexual activity makes a woman burn 69Kcal and man 100Kcal on average (25 minutes).
But if you want to burn even more, then you should keep your clothes on for at least half an hour prior, because making out burns a whopping 230Kcal during that time. Anticipation makes the heart beat fast...

The above according to the e-zine womansday.

Cool story bro

That e-zine doesn't know what they're talking about. Heatbeat is only loosely associated with calorie burn, and can only be used to estimate it for steady state cardio like running or cycling at a consistent pace. As for the 69 and 100, considering that the average person burns 2-3 calories per minute sitting, it doesn't really sound all that impressive. Why can't people just enjoy sex and stop trying to justify it as a workout? This question pops up every now and then and I always have a hard time understanding the reasoning behind it.

I think the best part of this is somehow gender matters to calories for sex, but making out apparently doesn't? Given on average women are smaller, having an equal average implies women are more active in making out.

It’s worth trying out this theory to see if it’s correct.... 😂

Sorry bogus info. People can who write an article about anything but it doesn't make it accurate and I guarantee it's not based on a ounce of evidence since it's impossible to do so. Unless you want to produce a citation.

Average 25 min.. there's your clue it's bogus.. 😂

Well while your making out and having sex your not eating so that is probably the largest fitness benefit 😀

It can be a good ab workout

Depending on... erm, the nature of your sexual activity and your particular role yes it can leave your abs sore. I'm not going to be any more specific than that.
