    Yes, I do, lots of people do, there was a big thread about it when I started it, but mentioning sex is against the Terms and conditions so the post got deleted, hopefully yours will last. :smile:

    The general conclusion was if it makes you sweat it was worth posting, that applies to any physical activity not just sex.

    If its part of your daily or weekly routine then dont log it. You are cheating yourself. Its only going to burn 200ish calories. Unless you are above average. Only if the activity is outside of your normal routine. should you count it. If you are counting activities that have caloric burn rates every day then you need to adjust your activity level in your settings not count everyday activities.

    Light exercise intensity
    Light activity feels easy. Here are clues that your exercise intensity is at a light level:
    You have no noticeable changes in your breathing pattern.
    You don't break a sweat (unless it's very hot or humid).
    You can easily carry on a full conversation or even sing.

    Moderate exercise intensity
    Moderate activity feels somewhat hard. Here are clues that your exercise intensity is at a moderate level:
    Your breathing quickens, but you're not out of breath.
    You develop a light sweat after about 10 minutes of activity.
    You can carry on a conversation, but you can't sing.

    Vigorous exercise intensity
    Vigorous activity feels challenging. Here are clues that your exercise intensity is at a vigorous level:
    Your breathing is deep and rapid.
    You develop a sweat after a few minutes of activity.
    You can't say more than a few words without pausing for breath.

    I needed to see this... thanks for the breakdown of activity.

    MFP doesn't allow me to record cardiovascular activities in increments of seconds.
    This is exactly what I was thinking.

    "Honey, I noticed you logged wrestling under MFP today, and we didn't have sex. Who exactly were you wrestling with?"

    I see problems with this for some people. Not me of course.

    I wouldn't count it.
    Are you having sex to exercise/cardio or for another reason?

    If it's for another reason - I would not count it calorie wise.

    I just enter it as "brisk walking" or "jogging" or something similar. It is silly that it's not an option under the exercise tab.
