    Well, if its a taboo thing I wonder why you can log this (search for yourselves):

    Sperm: Men, 1 Ejaculation, 5 calories



    On the other hand your food diary isn't published on your wall, where as your exercise log is....

    "Today Mike burned 10 calories doing doing 37 seconds of cardio exercises including "Sex""

    You know it is so funny that it is such a taboo topic and we all want to know. I am soooo tempted to try it tonight with my HRM on to really get an idea. I wonder if my hubby would be up for it? If he is I will tell you what the calorie burn was.
    the chest strap style hrm may be a little distracting at first lol.

    I do not count the calories from sex.

    I just selected "extremely active" for lifestyle :P

    Where can I get me a piece of that ....

    haha I was thinking the same thing...but I know I'd be watching it, jump about a bit and say ..right ok I'm stopping now or it will be an unequal odd number and I don't like those'. Just to see his face!

    WOW! By the time you "earned" a pizza, you would be too tired to eat it. I guess that would be even better. Burn the calories but don't eat to compensate.

    You can google this, that's what I did. Be awhere that if you are connected to facebook it will post it
    my wife was not very happy. I believe it is around 5 calories per minute. It is also said that it helps to lower cholesterol, among many other good aspects. Becides, it's just plain fun.

    Why is this always a question asked each and every month by someone new on the site?

    I have looked for this too. My husband and I joke that one of us should wear our heart monitor watch and band when we have sex to track the calories. I WON'T LET HIM DO THIS!!! He totally would if I let him.

    Honestly, I would never want to have sex just for the calorie burning benefit, so I look at sex calories burned as icing on the calorie burning cake. I know they were burned, but I don't track them. Sometimes we just have an after sex snack or drink. :wink:

    It is also worth noting that just the act of having sex burns some calories, but having an actual orgasm is where the real benefit is (calorie burning and otherwise)!

    I wear a bodymedia monitor..and will be investigating the burning calorie potential of all of my passion. Since I'm full to the brim with life, I'm feeling confident it will be a satisfying endeavor.

    Solo sesions 3-4 times a day would be a fair few hundred calories, but you might end up with one arm more muscular than the other
