    No reason you can't, just make a new entry like any other work out. But not sure how many calories is in one minute. *evil grin*

    Strap on a heart monitor during your session, see how many calories you've burned and create a new exercise in the database! :drinker:

    That's funny that someone else was thinking that too! When I first became a member I put "sex" in too and it gave me no result! I wonder? They need to figure something out because that is the best workout you could get! lol:bigsmile:

    I wondered about that one too! Then I got to thinking.... different positions - different calories burned?

    I googled this earlier this week. Depends on your weight. For me I burn about 5 cals per min. Hell yeah I log it ;)

    I tend to log mine under dancing... :wink:

    Brilliant. Put on your HRM and say, "But darling, I still need to burn off 200 calories today."

    Have the mental image of both my boyfriend and I strapping on the HRMs and going at it. Hilarious! But I really can see us getting a wild hair and doing it just to see. So romantic :tongue:

    "Baby, get out the heart rate monitor cause I'm gonna rock your world!"

    My guess would be half the calories burned during sex...

    if you want to count calories burned during sex you must not be getting it enough because its not a workout if its a part of your daily routine
