I am posting this because I get different views on this topic amongst some friends. I am seriously wondering, how many calories do you think people burn during sex? At this point, if it's TMI, I would understand. I searched the topics and couldn't find this question answered nor asked. I'm not allowed to wear my HRM. Even for Scientific purposes. I was told it's a distraction. Anyway, opinions? Has anyone been successful at wearing their HRm while "doing it?" Thanks for the help.

    Awesome! LOL! I don't log those burned calories because I figure they are already accounted for in my daily activities. I only log "extra" calories burned with exercise :happy:

    When you do a particular exercise so much your body gets use to it so it stops being a good exercise.
    If your anything like me i wouldnt even bother logging it because of how well your body has adapted to these movements.

    Depends on what you're doing, burn a lot less laying there than if you're swinging from the ceiling fan and stuff.

    google it! its a ridiculous low number based on "average" sex. I cant wear the HRM either...

    I look at it as enjoyment and figure that the calories burnt shouldn't be accounted for. Any calories burnt are simply a bonus that accompanies the pleasure.

    Really going to depend on who's driving!!! Particularly useful if the HRM starts beeping because you're not in the zone so need to go faster faster faster.....:laugh:
  • Guess it all depends on how "vigorous" you are during that session, lol. also depends on your fitness level and duration. but hey, it gets your heart rate up! Gotta be worth something!

    The Act of Insertion
    If the man is ready (same vice-versa) 1/4 calories
    If the woman is not (same vice-versa) 274 calories




    Satisfying Partner (organ size)
    Most experts agree that size means nothing. Shape is what counts, and the man with a shaped organ can write his own ticket. In those rare instances where a man has a genuinely small member, he may have to compensate by working slightly harder, but this is good for weight loss. A man with a really large organ, while he might not have to work as hard once inside, may exhaust himself just trying to convince his partner to let him put it inside.

    Normal size 22 calories
    Oversize 15 calories
    Tremendous 8 calories
    Teensy-weensy 163 calories





    Positions
    Man on top, woman on bottom (facing each other) 20 calories
    Woman on top, man on bottom
    (Many women find that in addition to its inherent sexual possibilities, this position affords a better view of the clock.) 25 calories
    From the rear (Mysterious variation) 40 1/2 calories
    Standing: Both partners of equal height 18 calories
    Standing: Woman 1 foot taller than a man 90 calories
    While in traction
    (very useful during ski season) 124 calories




    Locations
    On a bar stool 20 calories
    Rear of a Honda Civic 38 calories
    In a phone booth, standing 14 calories
    In a phone booth, lying down 274 calories
    On an airliner, aisle seat 24 calories
    On an airliner, middle seat 42 calories
    On an airliner, window seat 30 calories
    On an airliner, in the lavatory 100 calories




    Possible Side Effects of Intercourse

    Low growling 8 calories

    Screaming 18 calories
    Urgent begging 22 calories
    Any short speech giving partner directions
    ("Please don't stop," "Faster," "Just a little more" are common examples.) 25 calories




    Approaching Orgasm
    Letting go 5.5 calories
    Controlling yourself 79 calories
    Digging nails into your partner's back 11 calories

    Earth moved 30 calories
    Vesuvius erupted 47 calories
    You began moaning in Latin 60 calories




    Pulling Out
    After orgasm 1/4 calorie
    A few moments before orgasm 500 calories




    Multiple Orgasms
    For women:
    2 14 calories
    5 30 calories
    8 47 calories
    (Depending on greed her rate of recovery a woman can enjoy around 8 orgasms within an hour period without losing consciousness or disarranging her hair. As the number increases, however, she may begin to experience a form of "reduced sanity" that will temporarily interfere with her ability to cook, worship ,and ride a Moped.)
  • I've heard that depending on your size, it burns around 4 cals a minute (about as much as mowing the lawn).

    In which case, my ex would typically burn about 2 calories each time we did it.

    I heard you burn major calories when you do it standing up in a hammock. It takes a lot of coordination and skill to master this feat. :wink:

    I refuse to ask my fiance to wear mine because I know he would say no.

    It's not the actual activity that burns the major calories.

    It's the act of climbing out a bedroom window while trying to get dressed to avoid being beaten up by an angry husband is what burns huge calories.

    Dag! Really?! That little. I guess it becomes a moot point since your body does get used to the activity. I remember reading in a Mens Health Magazine, that the average man burns up to 300 calories in an average session. I had no idea size was a factor. Now I have more to research as well. This is very intriuging. Burning more when the women resists, that's one of the most halarious things I have ever read.

    387 cals in 59 minutes. Yes I wore the HRM and logged it on my Saturday diary. Go check. LOL

    You'll be able to spot which entry I used easily.

    You must've kept the shirt on. I tried sneaking it in a couple times to no avail. She always wants the shirt off. I will retry again and see what happens. Wish me luck!
