    .... If you had a heart rate monitor and a partner that wouldn't think you were completely off your head for wearing one in bed...you could find out that way!

    I go to fitnessmagazine.com and there is a drop down for sex. You then just input your weight and duration and then hit calculate. Hope that helps and as always HAVE FUN :wink:

    I don't know how accurate these are, but I found this last week while attempting to this very same info. Here is my thread from when I shared it for humor sake. Maybe we should invint a sexy push-up bra with a built in heartrate monitor! Of course that would look rediclous on the guys, but hey sex is funny

    According to Fitness Magazine:
    "Of course, how many calories you burn depends on the duration and, ahem, vigor of the activity. A moderate 20 minutes will burn only about 28 calories, 32 at a more energetic rate -- but you can burn close to 100 calories if the fun lasts for an hour."

    just like I don't count grocery shopping as cardio, I also don't figure in sex. It's just something I do all the time, I figure it is counted into my base calorie allowance
