    Hahaha, maybe I'll wear my HRM next time. I typed it in the other day and came up blank. It'll have to go under Personal Exercises.

    Aparently, no matter how much you `join` in in the sex act, the orgasm can burn around 100 kcal.

    I'd never count it, but you can use this site to calculate "Sex (vigorous effort)": http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/calorie-calculator.asp.

    I do! I put it in as calisthenics! If you think about it and you are actively participating you are doing many of the exercises listed under calisthenics! "SEXERCISE!" :0):love: :tongue:

    You may want to check the calories on an outside site and then "add" it in to your exercise under another name... It might be a bit embarrassing when your home page shows "So and So burned 150 calories doing "sex and foreplay"...

    My bf actually told me I should wear it to see, but I think he burns more calories than I do during the act. I dont count it as exercise, its just a free be extra burn.

    If you are looking to help increase the core strength type work aspects of sex you should look into getting a Kama Sutra manual. Think yoga-style sex positions. You have to be careful, its not just a recreational thing, you have to practice at it (great excuse huh?!), but seriously, it's just like yoga and so if you have to start at a level that won't throw your back out or pull a muscle.

    Kama Sutra usually has spiritual over tones of Hindu, but take it or leave it, the important parts are the physical activity. The manuals I have read through at the book store (the more contemporary ones) usually have sound relationship advice too. They are just about sex. Things like active listening to your partner, tips for enhancing romantic interludes, maximizing each other's enjoyment of life...healthy body, healthy mind, healthy hearts.

    It's probably not too embarrassing for her if she's asking the question here in the first place! :laugh:

    :laugh: I do because I looked it up and for every 15 minutes of foreplay and every 15 minutes of sex you burn 90 calories each. So why let those go to waste? I looked it up on here and had to add sex to the dictionary of cardio exercises. Sex is the best cardio you can get so if you are getting it then record it!

    Does it have to be with someone else for it to count? LOL. I think it must, otherwise I wouldn't need to lose any weight at all!

    Years ago, I was watching a Denise Austin show and she was doing pelvic thrusts and called it "sexercise" I about fell over laughing at her.
    Livestrong site has a calorie burn counter that has sex listed and even gives you the choice of what kind ie. slow, medium, or rigorous. Doesn't mention if you need a partner!

    I was having sex when I was at my heaviest and I was still fat. It's not *really* exercise!

    I wouldn't personally record although I have been tempted by the heart rate monitor..!

    one site i belonged to specifically says in the terms and conditions that this is one of the few things that it will NEVER share with your friends (when you log sex as an exercise). :blushing:

    so apparently a LOT of people do it, and a LOT of people don't want other people to know.:love::smokin:

    Sex is great exercise far beyond the calories burned. It decreases cortisol which is related to belly fat. I actually think this is the key to 6-pack abs!
