    Well strap on your heart rate monitor and go for it! Let us know the results..I would say show pics fro proof but we both may get banned for that

    A thread likes this gets posted daily, it then gets removed by the moderators because sex is against the terms and conditions.

    The answer before it gets modded is..... "If it makes you sweat it is worth logging"

    I might have to try the heart rate though..... but when do I start the heart rate monitor, when I open her drink or later :D

    Maybe a moderator sanctioned thread should be started and stickied?

    Yes, it can. What a fun way to burn them as well. Obviously you would burn more the longer and more vigorous of an effort you put into it.

    Yes, ofcourse having sex burns calories. Even *kitten* burns calories. Better question would be HOW much calories and that depends.

    If you're having vigorous sex for an hour+ and sweating like crazy then I would count it like working out on a treadmill running but if you're just having good old fashion quick in and out (yes, yes, I know) then count it as walking

    I wore my HRM once out of curiosity. I wear it more often now because the man says he wants to set the high score.

    sex is excellent cardio! The calorie burn varies on how vigorous and how long you do the deed.

    We burn calories just by sleeping so yes, having sex burns calories. And like someone else said, it depends on how much effort is put into it on how many calories are burned.

    Yep having sex does burn calories. As was said before, it depends on how much work you really do. Aha. What positions, foreplay, etc.

    My doctor told me it was an excellent workout for your heart and it makes you feel good.

    ..... of course I suppose it depends upon whether you are having to run away from an angry husband afterwards!

    :noway:

    Any movement burns calories. kinda depends on the....erm...motion of the ocean to determine how many. if you cant stand/walk rght for a while, id call it a workout. just sayin
