This is the most depressing thing I have read in forever -
Myth: Sex burns a lot of calories.
Fact: You’ve probably seen calculations saying that sex torches up to 300 calories. Yet the only study that actually measured the energy output reported that sex only lasted an average of six minutes and burned just 21 calories. “Disappointing, isn’t it?” says lead study author David Allison, Ph.D., director of the Nutrition Obesity Research Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
