Calories burned during sex?

Topic says it all... I saw no entry for sex in the cardio database. But dagnabbit, that's cardio, and I'd like to continue burning calories in this manner!

How many calories per minute, estimated? I guess there would be a different estimate for a guy versus a gal... considering guys do all the work. Hee, hee!

    Here is a calculator that you can put your weight into. Like all of them it's probably just a guesstimate.

    Au contraire! That was more calories than I expected, since it doesn't feel like work. I will tell my gal that MFP requires me to burn a pound a week this way! Wheeee!

    Yes, thank you soup. I believe the chasing them around with the clippers is 50 cals and then holding them down to do the clipping is another 100. THEN cleaning up the hairs is an addl 25.

    So see, us ol married woman get our exercise in too!!

    Hey, hey, hey... that totally depends on the exercisers involved and what type of exercise they are doing at the time! :huh:
  • Two things come to mind here:
    1. This gives guys motivation to take their time. :wink:
    2. I'm reading YOU on a Diet and they say that having sex helps your cravings for food. That our brain's pleasure center doesn't know the difference so if you're satiated in one area you, theoretically, will be satiated in the other. Are there any volunteers out there who would be willing to test this theory? :laugh:

    I will gladly test #2! However, I've noticed the opposite, I'll be more ravenous the next day after a good romp. I've looked up what is lost (for guys) to see if my body is just craving certain things, so I was hoping to just take a supplement (zinc, etc.) to curb the cravings. But I haven't found what (if anything) works just yet... Guess I just need to continually distract myself!

    My BFF has a new man, and they are in that honeymoon stage when you do it ALL THE TIME. Seriously all the time- 3-4x per night.
    Anyway, my point is that when I invite her to exercise, she says no thanks- she'd rather "SEXERCISE."
