Just curious......

I always hear and read how sex burns so many calories. So I "searched" on here under cardio (to add to diary) and no results for it came up. I was wondering what's your opinion on it....

Should it be considered or not? Why?

    Burning calories is closely correlated to heart rate. That's why companies make a fortune selling heart rate monitors. We know that if you keep your heart rate at a certain level for a certain amount of time, just about how many calories you burn. As you probably know, sex keeps your heart pumping at a nice pace. That plus kissing and foreplay make your heart race even more.

    SO, my point is that sex is definitely good exercise. It's for sure a big cardiovascular pump, AND it's way more fun than the treadmill. Those are my thoughts.
