Strap on a heart monitor during your session, see how many calories you've burned and create a new exercise in the database! :drinker:
if i did that, i would GAIN. lol0 -
What if I strap my HRM on and the damn thing starts beeping in the middle because I am not at my optimum heart rate level, I think my poor hubby would die
Not a wise idea to have an electronic device telling you to put more effort in.
LOL!! I almost strapped mine on once, I told my BF i wanted to and he looked at me like I was nuts. HAHA.0 -
Um i use to log sex all the time!!! I don't see how you don't see it when you search for it0
-
And the men of mfp come out! lol!!0

Okay, sounds like you all have created a new fetish. I guess it's just a matter of time before some girl is going to ask me to wear a hrm and issue a challenge. :glasses:0
-
OH SNAP!!! that was hilarious!!!!0
-
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*
Can you imagine... wearing your HRM to get an accurate number! Now that would be funny!! :laugh:
I've been tossing around this idea for a LONG time0 -
Totally depends on how much effort you put in etc but I like to think of it as cardio and strength training just log it under 'aerobics, general' for a rough idea. Or yoga ....lot of similar movements....0
-
It is on this list lol!
I was thinking about using the HRM as well but not sure my husband would appreciate that lol

Search for "Coitus" Should still be in there, I put it in to be a smart-*kitten* to my best friend when I signed up :laugh: :bigsmile:0

Hmmmm Calories burned during sexy time ....
Foreplay = 0 (begging doesnt require calories)
Actual Coitus = 10 (5 Cals / minute)
Hardly seems worth the effort to log it.
You're right, no minutes isn't worth calling it sex either.0 -
I did it with an HRM, but not going to tell you what I burned! But I know somebody who did burn about 96 and she was going solo!0
-
I have always been curious about that, but something about wearing my HRM seems so not sexy! Lol0
-
Can you work out the calories used in just a few seconds????? :blushing:0

You forgot about the 10 minutes of crying, that has to be worth a few calories no? ; )0 -
Put a HRM on and see how many it burns. Then you can enter it yourself as a new exercise, or "aerobics" if you don't want to show all your MFPals your business.
I personally wouldn't log it though, it's (hopefully) a regular activity so should just come under your daily activity. If you rarely have it though, or are unusually vigorous one time, I say why not? as long as your wife doesn't get turned off by the HRM thing.0 -

why is it I cant put down a sex session and get the calories burned number??? Are we really that uptight???
Well really... how many cals can you burn in 5 minutes anways... sheesh...0 -

When did sex become anything other than fun that you are looking to log it as "exercise"? Lighten up-and enjoy it!0 -
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 believe the euphemism is "gardening." If you've burned 1000 calories in half an hour of "gardening," I'm pretty sure I know what kind of "gardening" you were doing...0 -

Come on man, 2 minutes ain't gonna do you no good....lol0 -
Lmao we actually experimented and I wore the HRM and burned 65 calories in 15 minutes! Quick mini burn quickie :P0

Now I totally have a reason to buy a HRM! I've seen estimates of calorie burn during sex that seemed really low, like 280 per hour. I told my husband that and he said "only if you're not doing it right!" I agree with his point, which is that it really depends on HOW you have sex. Is this, we're both really tired but still horny sex, or is this all out, piss off the cat and the neighbors sex. A HRM would seem to be the only way to figure out how many calories your sex is burning. At the same time, I like sex for its own sake, so I'd rather not think of it as "just another way to burn calories."
P.S. I will admit that I too checked the database for sex when I first joined.0 -
Women's Day Magazine says 207 calories for 30 mins..0

This post just made my day...lol :bigsmile:0

I think to be fair, if you count sex in your activities, you have to claim any extra protein in your food list....
That would only work if semen actually contained non-negligible amounts of protein. The whole protein bit is an urban legend, it's mostly water, a tiny amount of salt, and a tiny amount of sugar.0 -
I was just reading this yesterday: http://calorielab.com/news/2008/02/12/calories-burned-during-sex/
Had me rolling everywhere. Especially this part:
Activity group: Insertion

11
Female not fully aroused
46
Male not fully aroused
1080 -
When I first started MFP, I used to log sex and I logged it as wrestling, lol!0
