    If you exert a lot of energy - then yes it burns calories...but it's difficult to determine as no one has sex the same exact way as an other.

    Sex on an exercise ball is a good work out for the both of you...really works your core ;)

    It does if you do it on an exercise bike and are the pedaler.

    LOL, don't know why this made me laugh so hard, but it did!

    So what I'm taking away from this is that sex will burn some calories but not a huge amount. Therefore if I want to use it as an "exercise" I guess I'm going to have to do A LOT of it! Oh well. If I must, I must I guess! Work, work, work in the pursuit of health and fitness!

    All I know is after an hour on the elliptical I am sweaty, but not super exhausted, and have burned roughly 600 calories. After around ten minutes of sex I am super sweaty and need to sleep for ten hours.

    I absolutely love all the answers, a lot of which made me laugh. I would never log any of it as exercise. It is strictly pleasure lol! I was just curious if anyone knew! Thanks for all the comments!

    That has to do with the pleasure hormones released during sex........
    Unfortunantly for me sex invigorates me. My BF teases that im the "energizer bunny" even when Im the one exerting more effort based on position

    Sex is the only time I can have pie and not consume any calories.

    Mine is the same way. She is all up and ready to go afterwards. Meanwhile I need a sandwich and nap.
