...why is sex and the calories it burns not on the exercise database!!? Do I class it as vigourous aerobic activity?

HA!, I've never recorded mine, its never lasted long enough!

Another calorie counting website I used to use described it as 'moderate intensity'....

But without being too graphic - how are you going to judge the duration? A stopwatch might cause offense! LOL

HA!, I've recorded mine, its never lasted long enough!

LOL! I'm not sure that's something you want to brag about. :laugh:

Doh! - another schoolboy error! :ohwell:

rcatr

More motivation to have it more often and make it last longer :blushing:

LOL!!! Hahahaha You guys are priceless!!! Too funny!!

lulabellewoowoo

Sadly enough, it doesn't burn nearly as many calories as you think while "involved" in the activity.

Also, if you enter it yourself, then everyone gets to see "So and So burned _________ calories during sex today". Mine is listed as "cardiovascular improvement"

You could TRIPLE the calories.....laugh during sex and then try to continue going while your partner is kicking you off for laughing at them LOL!

Genius - gotta try this - I'm gonna waste away!......:)

PanicAtTheBuffet

I find it reassuring that other people hear laughing during this time. I thought I was doing something wrong.

6.41 cals per minute...

Hmm...another excuse to drag the hubby to bed...:laugh:

Cherrystargirl

And what about if I involve BDSM, use canes and whips, surely that will burn a few more!!!!? If it does, I am going to become a Miss Whiplash style Dominatrix and laugh too, now that has to burn one or two :laugh: :noway: :laugh:

Firefrog76

Could always wear a HRM, but I don't know if that would spoil the mood. Although with all the laughing and whipping going on, I really don't think your partner would notice.

were you having sex prior to decide to lose weight if so it's not a workout... Just like cleaning the house, grocery shopping ect... it is all part of daily activity

plus it doesn't burn nearly enough to even count
