First of all I'm not a perv' & I know I'm not the only one who's wondering that question, not that we're gonna start logging that in on our diaries, lol, but I am curious, & like I said we're all adults here

    Your question cut off in the title but I can only assume you're talking about calories burned during sex. I've heard a lot of people log it as "dancing" or 'cleaning' or something along those lines. Like anything, it's a different burn for everyone. It really depends on how much energy your exerting during the deed. Lots of people have joked about wearing a HRM during lol

    You're not the only one. This question comes up routinely: I used the search feature, and found these two threads.

    I don't log it, rather just consider it a bonus burn ;) The subject has become quite the joke with ym hubby though, LOL

    Excellent point! Agreed, we are all big peeps. I like that someone else put it under dancing... MOREOVER, my husband WOULD LOVE that I put this into my daily cardio routine!!

    My fiance and I was wondering why it wasn't in here also this past weekend.....would make sense if it was...depending on which position...depends on the amount you burn verses him....:blushing:

    I don't have an answer for you but I will tell you that I was very sexually active with a partner about 3 years ago (I mean, like pretty daily) and I lost about 20 pounds. So I do think, as a previous poster put it, that it depends how much you put into the deed. If you just lay there you won't get much out of it - either way :)

    My brother was teasing his wife, who had been on a get-in-shape kick - that he was willing to help her burn a "lot of calories" (wink wink) I have a little electronic calorie-and-exercise calculator, and according to it - my sis in law was going to burn 16 calories....LOL!! She told Mr Smart guy that she was better off vacuuming :-)

    Thanks for all your input, & yes as a matter of fact I do have a calorie/heart rate monitor, lol, & I also see that it's not listed on the exercise list, but we know when we burn some just to keep in mind & low key ; ], keep up the good job on losing weight & I am looking for friends for support & fitness tips so if ya' want to add
