Doin' the dirty is an exercise, right?

saarahann

So, serious question. They say having sex burns X calories, right? How would one record that as an exercise in ones diary? Jusssst curious...

sathor

use a HRM, and name it something like 'extracirricular - HRM' (I mean, you could call it screwing if you wanted, but if your food diary is visible, so is your exercise.)

Unless it was a marathon session, I wouldn't say that it is a work out. Wear an HRM and see for yourself. You can create any exercise on your log that you need.

Depends

Did you make an effort?lol

Sparkpeople has it on their Q & A. They can give a better explanation than me, but it's not classed as a cardio on there either. This is because it's impossible to keep the same duration going, & raised level in heart rate consistent throughout.

You're welcome

Thanks for the replies. I wouldn't say it's a marathon, but one session isn't enough, so I know I'm burning some sort of calories. I wonder if certain positions burn more calories than the typical one might...

I don't mean to offend anyone, I mean...It's not taboo or anything.

This topic has been done to death on the boards, maybe the search engine would have been a place to start? You're not burning a great deal, just add it to your activity level, no-one needs to know about it, we all do it :flowerforyou:

This!

Look; we realise that you're boasting that you're getting it on a regular basis.

Here is all the calorie burning information on sex you will ever need to know

Did he have to chase you around the room for 20 minutes or something? If not you didn't burn as many calories as you think.

Mia_RagazzaTosta

It's not taboo or offensive. It's just not worth logging the very small amount of burned calories.

HealthyVitamins

I wouldn't bother. It's really not as many calories as you think.

This is similar to those who want to log 'cleaning' and 'meal preparation' under their daily exercise..

Positions
Man on top, woman on bottom (facing each other) 20 calories
Woman on top, man on bottom
(Many women find that in addition to its inherent sexual possibilities, this position affords a better view of the clock.) 25 calories
From the rear (Mysterious variation) 40 1/2 calories
Standing: Both partners of equal height 18 calories
Standing: Woman 1 foot taller than a man 90 calories
While in traction
(very useful during ski season) 124 calories

Locations
On a bar stool 20 calories
Rear of a Honda Civic 38 calories
In a phone booth, standing 14 calories
In a phone booth, lying down 274 calories
On an airliner, aisle seat 24 calories
On an airliner, middle seat 42 calories
On an airliner, window seat 30 calories
On an airliner, in the lavatory 100 calories

So the obvious answer would be. Whilst in traction + horizontally in a phone booth = highest calorie burn :bigsmile:

I can't think of anything more depressing than my partner putting on a HRM before we get down to it.

Only if you do it right...

This, I get her bra off only for her to say "wait, hang on I gotta put on my HRM".

Seriously, you aren't burning enough calories to log, do you log them when you walk to the bathroom at work?
