    I compared intercourse on the other list to the list on MFP. The closest, and most fun name, is Hacky Sack! I suggest everyone start using "Hacky Sack!"

    Haha, If that calculator is right then I burned over 3,600 during that same weekend, no wonder my bulk went no where.

    "They say you can burn just as much calories during sex than you would running a marathon. Funny, I don't know anyone who's finished a marathon in 5 minutes." -- Unknown

    HRM just came today, guess I know how I'll be testing it out... Might need a series of tests to be sure my data is complete and accurate.

    For science!

    Just doing my duty to further science. It's a task I plan on taking very seriously, and Yes to all the variables.

    Well, since that means I burn up about 175 calories once or maybe twice a year, I don't think I'll bother to log it.

    Unless you have sex for hours in weird positions, sex doesn't burn a note-worthy amount of calories.. Enjoy yourself instead of wondering how much you can burn..

    that site seems good to be fair, but i'm not going to use it for logging "intimate time" as it never happens to me :P

    OMG! I found this site like a year ago back in college and I used it to try to figure out accuracy between calories burned on different sites. Then I couldn't find it again. Thanks for posting it!

    Nothing turns me on more than a chick with an HRM strapped to her. I'ma make that thing blow up from counting so fast! (/s)

    I don't know about the "sex - foreplay" and "sex - intercourse". I mean, it's always different; you can do it like HIIT or you can do it like cardio or you can do it like yoga. All very different . . . and that's not to mention 'giving' teh sexes versus 'receiving' teh sexes.

    That was the *FIRST* thing I said to myself when I saw the difference. I wonder if by foreplay they mean just kissing. I consider foreplay to be a lot more than that!

    Personally, I don't worry about calorie burn amounts on my exercise or my daily activities such as sex. I just calculate my calories based on my activity level, what gives me energy, doesn't leave me hungry, and what maintains my healthy weight. Activity is for fitness and fun. That's what works for me, and I know it may not work for everyone else. But, anyway, I looked at the calculator and I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but shouldn't it include your age to be at least a little bit closer to accurate?

    I think you can just incorporate sex into the sedetary or active category ;)

    It's pretty accurate.

    It says 148 cals for 30 min.

    I wore my HRM during one time and it was about 175 cals for 30 min.
    I didn't log it though...

    whenever i get a HRM....i WILL do this!...lol
