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

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

    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" :wink:

    What if you are laughing DURING sex, will that burn double calories?

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

    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:

    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
