    I'm pretty sure that if i only burned 21 calories "doing the deed" my wife would have left me years ago.
    I claim at least 30, probably 35.

    If you aren't sweaty, tired, and out of breath afterward you're doing it wrong.


    THIS! dont forget about the ropeburn either ;)

    Exactly what I was going to say! Whoever did this study must be painfully vanilla.

    Was this study conducted by female missionaries?

    You should still be putting in 110%, even if you're on the bottom :tongue:

    This study leads me to believe that I'm just horribly spoiled.

    So, basically they're saying that sex burns as many calories in the same amount of time as yoga?

    Lmao!!

    I think if only 21 calories are burned during sex it shouldnt be called sex, more like...oh whoops I'm done....heck shouldn't you burn 21 calories just removing clothes :P

    I would think you'd burn 21 calories just from the kissing before sex.

    Maybe if it's quick and boring haha

    ^^^ This

    Whoever these test subjects were could probably benefit from a little Kama Sutra or at least some pornography in their lives.

    Yep! This too. You can burn 21 calories by simply walking up two flights of stairs.
