    I've wondered many times why sex isn't in MFP's system for exercise...you burn a lot of calories doing it, right?

    From a caloric standpoint, sex is great. I think we all know this. Burning calories is closely correlated to heart rate. Therefore, unless you are both just laying there and doing much of nothing, then a good romp in the hay is about as good a workout as God ever intended there to be. Not only is the actual intercourse good for burning calories, but so is the kissing and foreplay that goes along with it (hopefully). Truth be told, it's hard to beat sex. And when you think about it, regular sex makes you want to stay in better shape and be healthier in general. So I say chalk it up however you want on the calculator, but as far as life goes, it doesn't get much better!
