Hi, I was looking to log a particular form of exercise today that I can't find in the database. Does anyone know how many calories sexual activity burns? I tried looking it up but all the estimates are like 80 calories an hour, which is ridiculous - if walking burns 200 cals an hour, sex HAS to burn more than that, right? Anyway, if anyone could maybe point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

    calories Burned During Sex

    The Act of Insertion
    If the man is ready (same vice-versa) 1/4 calories
    If the woman is not (same vice-versa) 274 calories

    Satisfying Partner (organ size)

    Most experts agree that size means nothing. Shape is what counts, and the man with a shaped organ can write his own ticket. In those rare instances where a man has a genuinely small member, he may have to compensate by working slightly harder, but this is good for weight loss. A man with a really large organ, while he might not have to work as hard once inside, may exhaust himself just trying to convince his partner to let him put it inside.

    Normal size 22 calories
    Oversize 15 calories
    Tremendous 8 calories
    Teensy-weensy 163 calories

    Positions
    Man on top, woman on bottom (facing each other) 20 calories
    Woman on top, man on bottom
    (Many women find that in addition to its inherent sexual possibilities, this position affords a better view of the clock.) 25 calories
    From the rear (Mysterious variation) 40 1/2 calories
    Standing: Both partners of equal height 18 calories
    Standing: Woman 1 foot taller than a man 90 calories

    Multiple Orgasms

    For women:
    2 14 calories
    5 30 calories
    8 47 calories
    (Depending on greed her rate of recovery a woman can enjoy around 8 orgasms within an hour period without losing consciousness or disarranging her hair. As the number increases, however, she may begin to experience a form of "reduced sanity" that will temporarily interfere with her ability to cook, worship ,and ride a Moped.)
    For Men:
    2 21 calories
    3 39 calories
    4 57 calories
    (For a man, its a different situation, perhaps due to physiological and biological reasons. Many men can enjoy up to 4 orgasms in an hour with little discomfort except for the slight ringing in the ears. With few exceptions, however, a man who tries to achieve more than 10 orgasms within that same period is flirting with irreversible brain damage.)

    Consequences of Premature Ejaculation

    Even if you have a good heart, it takes much understanding not to feel like a victim when your partner climaxes after 3 sec's of intensive sex, especially if he immediately sits up to watch the football on tv.

    For Women
    Frustration 8 calories
    Anger 15 calories
    Violent mood swing 20 calories

    Most of the web sites I found about this are of the humorous nature--this one included:

    http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/calories-sex.shtml

    At the bottom it does say, "Seriously though it has been estimated that having sex for a half hour burns approximately 150 to 200 calories and sometimes maybe as high as 350 calories if you are really active in bed."

    Maybe some people with HR monitors could offer up some totals for us.....:wink::laugh: :blushing:

    Unless you are a frequent visitor to the Governor of New York, I don't think you should count it into the burning of calories for your day. It's kind of like asking "Hey how many calories do I burn when I walk to the mailbox to check the mail?"

    I'm going to guess that the difference between walking and sexing (yes, I just made that word up) is that walking is a weight-bearing exercise. That is, walking probably burns more calories because your muscles are pushing the entire weight of your body forward - think about the work your legs have to do in pushing against the ground in order to propel you forward. Even more if you're jogging or running and your body actually leaves the ground mid-stride. Then there are the upper body movements that go along with it to help you balance. I think a person would have to do a lot of weight-bearing, locomoting sex in order for their body to do as much work as it does when walking/jogging/running! :laugh:

    Unless of course the sex is so good that your body leaves the ground, as in an out-of-body experience :smokin:

    p.s. - this website breaks it down into foreplay and intercourse, with intercourse being on par with walking per their estimation!

    Well lets see, sex is not a weight-bearing exercise but it does really hike up your BP and heart rate, involves almost every muscle in the body (well depends on how you do it, I guess) and really increases your breathing. Walking, well, not so much. I don't sweat after a good bout of 'walking'. lol. Has to be a good workout if it gets you sweating, right? (and no it's not really an every day activity, not for me anyway. I sure hope it doesn't get to be like walking to the mailbox!)

    Thanks for the enthusiastic response, guys!

    Ok, I don't count it as exercise... just a bonus for the day. But it has to burn at least equal to walking, especially if you are on top, takes just as much power to be on top and make it all happen as it does to walk, you may just be using different muscles!
