    This website has a great calorie calculator and one of the activities is sex/foreplay.

    Maybe all the singles should form a group to "exercise" together. Every city can have its own MFP FWB club...for health and calorie burning reasons only of course! ha

    Late night drunk thought FWB stood for Fitness Workout Buddies. I need to lay off the jager.

    Somehow i don't think your man would mind you straping on your HRM and telling him that you need to do some research!!! Heck he might even try harder!!! Then next time you can try to beat your #!!!! :wink:

    Sex has been added to the database. Based on the calculator here http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc and 185 lbs. Those of you who weigh less, enjoy the freebie calories. :P

    I think to be fair, if you count sex in your activities, you have to claim any extra protein in your food list....

    Wow you went there. Sick. Nice but Sick.

    What is one persons loss can be the others gain !

    What if I strap my HRM on and the damn thing starts beeping in the middle because I am not at my optimum heart rate level, I think my poor hubby would die :tongue:

    Not a wise idea to have an electronic device telling you to put more effort in.

    No reason you can't, just make a new entry like any other work out. But not sure how many calories is in one minute. *evil grin*

    Can you imagine... wearing your HRM to get an accurate number! Now that would be funny!! :laugh:

    you could make it into a role playing game.
    you and the naughty fitness instructor

    I think this would be the only reason I would invest in a HRM.

    why is it I cant put down a sex session and get the calories burned number??? Are we really that uptight???

    It probably doesn't burn as many as you think and I would probably count those as just daily activity level type stuff, rather than exercise on top of the calories I am already burning by existing and moving around and stuff

    I googled this earlier this week. Depends on your weight. For me I burn about 5 cals per min. Hell yeah I log it ;)

    I tend to log mine under dancing... :wink:

    *GASP!* Good cover!!!!! I'm going to use that!

    There is another website you can use: http://www.fitday.com/webfit/burned/calories_burned_Sexual_activity.html it has other activities as well as sexual. LOL, what a hilarious thread! :laugh: So long as you get the calories right it doesn't matter what you log it as on here!

    This thread.

    First it made me laugh.

    Then I chuckled at something someone else said.

    Then I never wanted to have sex again.

    Hmmmm Calories burned during sexy time ....

    Foreplay = 0 (begging doesnt require calories)
    Actual Coitus = 10 (5 Cals / minute)

    Hardly seems worth the effort to log it.

    Brainstorm! Can you call sex Intervals? Or better yet...I HIIT it last night.
    Lmao this is what everyone should log it under!!!

    It all depends on the position; if you are holding her off the ground against the wall, I think you can record cardio and strength training.

    I completely agree with this. I, personally, only record exercises that are specifically done for health improvement and strength. Sex is something else, so I wouldn't even count that toward my calories burned.
