    Well, after reading your question I had to check. I Googled "calories burned during sex."
    The second and third sites that come up seemed useful; others were scary. But it looks like there are some calculators out there for this purpose. Have fun! :happy:

    But often during sex one of the partners isn't doing much of anything...it really shouldn't be added as exercise. I mean, come on...what if you're being done from behind or being the girl in missionary position? All you're really doing is sucking it in.

    lol

    I've never added sex as exercise unless maybe its a marathon or something x-rated :tongue:

    Just enjoy and not worry about how much calories it is. We can't count everything in life.
