    How does "heavy making out" burn more than sex?

    I was wondering that, too!

    The way I read the article - heavy making out burns more because of the "anticipation"(heart beat gets elevated, etc) -- whereas having sex could possibly be passive--and the article also said that fewer calories are burned if orgasm is not achieved

    I wear my HRM during sex- overall it averages out to 2 cals per minute - 3 cals for extremely vigorous activity.

    So let me get this straight, you work it out in minutes and part minutes thereof????

    Not hours or part hours thereof....

    The real question is...
    How many people actually log it?

    Why can't a man read a magazine with the word "Woman" in the title? I think it's pretty sad that you're so much into gender roles that you would mock someone just for reading a magazine. Just saying.

    I was also upset that there was no mention of body painting...I have been hired many times as a body painter and, according to some sources, people burn 320 calories an hour painting..
