This is taken from an article I just read.....

"Claims that sex burns 100 to 300 calories are common, Allison told the AP. But the one study that scientifically measured the energy output found that sex lasted six minutes on average and burned 21 calories — the same as walking."

See the entire article here..... http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/science/130130/calories-burned-during-sex-overestimated-study-says

I'm really sad by 6 minutes being the average. Just SMH. :noway:

    If you want to be super efficient you could burn the same amount of calories in 3 mins if you incorporated intervals rather than doing steady state for 6 mins.

    6 minutes? REALLY?!? That is just sad. Then again, if that's average I suddenly feel like a rockstar. Can't wait to share that with my stud-muffin of a husband.

    I hope that's only from penetration on, and doesn't include foreplay.

    Even if it is after penetration....that is still extremely sad. I'm not opposed to a quicky but 6 minutes is even fast for that.

    I plan to incorporate tabata training - 20 secs work, 10 secs rest, for at least 12 rounds.

    I feel bad for these test subjects if they're only getting it for 6 minutes.

    Ok, I understand the penetration, but what is this mythical 'foreplay' you speak of? :smokin:

    I was having sex the other day, riding away, when suddenly I stopped mid-move and stayed really still...

    "What are you doing?" he asked?

    "Something I learned from online porn." I replied, "It's called buffering"

    agreed. When you first have sex, its like you wanna do like bunnies. after awhile of doing it so much, so long, its like "Is it over Yet?"

    Hubby and I were talking about this the other day. Depending on how long the couples involved in the study had been partners, that could absolutely have a significant effect on the length of time it takes to get things done. Hubby and I have really learned how to push each other's buttons (so to speak), and even very brief encounters (squeezed in where we can fit 'em) can leave us very satisfied.

    Poor...poor people. 6 minutes.Even our quickies are between 15-20 minutes.

    And way more fun than walking. Actually, I'm positive he would prefer some bedroom (or anywhere else) team exercise rather than going for a walk haha
