For all those on MFP who are sexually active

No. It really isn't that many calories burned. It just seems like it should be. Going up and down stairs for 5 minutes would burn more calories than relations for 30 minutes unless you're working REALLY hard at those relations.

hahaha I'm not the one who does most of the work most of the time anyway

I figure "horse riding" is a good way to log it

bahahaha!!!!! ok I'm officially going to start logging it as horse riding when I'm on top just for giggles

What are you guys doing to a horse? :smokin:

My wife ate that thing that kills sex drive. You know.......wedding cake. So I wouldn't know.

I had to read this twice. LMAO

Wow 30 Minutes I wish!

Me too!!

I log mine only b/c it's not too often that I get to see my FWB - so it's not part of my normal routine...lol - but only if it's longer than 20 -30mins. :happy:

I also have a workout name for it so that no one really knows what it is....I don't think people really care when I get some. :blushing:

I have always been curious of the same thing. I am wondering if the mood would be ruined if I wore my Heart Rate monitor with the chest stap during "relations" ......lol
it would be interesting to see how many calories are burned!!

I actually did this once for a laugh when my wife bought it for me for christmas.. It beeps above a certain heart rate and we ended up laughing so hard at the beeps that we abandoned the whole exercise.

If it lasts more than 15 minutes and I'm on top. ;D

EDIT: I do have a little tact, I log it as general aerobics. :laugh:

LMAO now we know if we look at the dairy lol

I should imagine anyone recording their sexual activity would be like this:

Husband's Exercise Diary
Time: 150 minutes
Calories burnt: 980

Wife's Exercise Diary
Time: 3 minutes
Calories burnt: 3

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: OK, I admit it that is exactly what mine would look line. Can't speak for the wife, hopefully she would humor me and copy mine :blushing:

redlion45

I DO track mine. At first i created it as "sexy time" then realised it showed in my timeline and changed it to walking lol.

20 minutes of sex for someone my height / weight burns about 93 kcal. i aim for between 1-3 times per day, its a fun way to bump up your calorie allowance (pardon the pun) and keeps my fella happy

Damn! I am sooo getting jipped on this! :sad: ^^^^^ My hat's off to the lady. You are a rare catch. :drinker:

I guess it all depends on what position you are in when riding dirty !

wrong, it is quite the amount of calories burned
a 150 lb person burns 288 calories during one hour of sex.

Uhm... I will be honest enough, while still remaining tactful, to say that an hour of sex after 9 years of marriage and two kids is a bit unrealistic of a goal. To be honest, I don't even know anyone who spends an hour at a time having sex in real life.

how many calories are there per battery?

OMG funnnyyyyy! I am right there with ya :laugh:

Ok, so that's about 4.8 calories per minute, so let's say it actually only lasts about 5 minutes, that's only 24 calories, not really worth logging! Dh & I have been married for going on 17 years (yikes, I feel old) and with three kids~11-14, things vary. I burn more calories watching t.v. for an hour with dh and than 5 minutes of relations!

Somebody put on a HRM and figure it out!

I figure any calories burned were eaten back anyway.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

*cough* Really? I can't imagine fitting it into a 20 minute slot, personally :P

Just really full stop? Seriously? You don't know the right people. I find it weird to the people that finish straight away or within 5 mins, it's just strange! One of my fave things is putting a 2 kilo chicken in the oven to cook and coming back down to find it's almost ready. Now THAT'S a session.
