Maybe we have to call is something else to be able to count it as cardio?

I would say yes if your sweaty and out of breath

Do a search here. Tons of posts about it. Bottom line, without all the personal bravado about how amazing a person is, sex only burns about 150 calories or less per session. (Yes, even if you are believe you have porn star type sex, or are a sexual Olympiad).

Well usually I have to chase them so that's quite a bit of running....

@MonkeyMel21 yeah but then it states "Mr stabbems has burned 980kcal's doing cardio exercise including sex (vigorous)"

Don't want mfp ladies to have too high an expectation

housework isn't exercise either...people log all kinds of nonsense.

stuff like this is accounted for already in the activity level.

What about sex with blow up dolls? That's like using machines at the gym right?

Not enough resistance, I wouldn't think. Since they essentially weigh nothing.

I've had a few friends in the past who have logged it in. Even the lazy morning sex kind. I personally don't think it is and to be frank, I roll my eyes when a friend logs in 15 minutes of housework lol
