Love making as exercise?

OK, so I was discussing intercourse with a friend of mine and wondered; could it be classed as significant exercise? I mean, everyone knows that you use a lot of energy during 'the act' but could it be added to your diary? The option isn't there, what would the closest alternative be?

It might be kind of hard to log 32 seconds.......

i don't log anything as exercise that I was doing before MFP

I was having sex before mfp, I was cleaning my house before mfp, carrying a 50lb basket of laundry up and down stairs and across my complex before and walking to the grocery store carrying 8 bags home. o.o but that is just me. Oi vey if I logged that stuff i'd feel guilty and like i was cheating myself.

I also thought this; however, I discussed it with my Zumba teacher and she said anything that gets the heart pumping is real exercise. I suppose it's a matter of opinion.

This topic comes up all the time. You think you use a lot more energy than you probably actually use. Take it as a bonus and move on. If you're absolutely STARVING afterward, have an apple or something. LOL ;-)
