Sexy times calories burned???

curvy_ca_mama

To all of my MFP friends,

I have a question that I've been curious about and embarrassed to ask. Without getting too personal or graphic, we all know that sex burns calories, does anyone know of a way to track that???

Thanks! Erica

Anyone have an HRM that counts calories burned? I'm sure we could figure it out...

I have a HRM and would be willing to help in the name of science. Please send me a message and we can work something out

3 words: heart rate monitor. No, I've never worn mine to calculate my sexy calories burned, but it does make me curious.

It will be the first thing I test when I get my HRM....

Hmm I'm not sure. I think wearing my HRM would kind of me a dead give away, but I'm sure I can talk him into doing some experimentation. I'll get back to you

YOu use a HRM

I have one, but it's different for every person. YOu have to take in to consideration your age, weight, height and how hard you are working

eeeekie

HRM

Everyone does it different. Angry sex is probably more calorie burning than just everyday/ho-hum boring sex lol. Just like missionary is probably less calories than something a little more wild.

i've attempted to figure this out a few times, but my husband just wasn't into me wearing my BodyMedia so i could check the burn. he said it made him feel like a lab experiment! whatever...

VERY little unless your doing all "the work" LOL. Seriously, you want a work out while doing sexy time, you gotta work it, great for the core and legs. Hehe.
