    I read on some other post where a person actually used their fitbit or something and then logged it in.
    If you use a fitbit you must have it on the right hand. But i don't know if it would work with two person sex

    Incidental exercise, ie, movement not for the purpose of burning calories. If you're having sex ONLY to burn calories then log it. And if that's the case then there are some issues you may need to address with your partner.

    I think he/she said it was between 60-100 calories haha

    Wow. That's not a lot of cardio if it's that small of a calorie burn.

    I think on that post, there was some discussion about it - whether she should move it to the other hand or something. I don't know. HAHA.

    A heart rate monitor will measure whatever calories are burnt no matter what hormones are there.

    I mean, it has to count right? Is it just aerobics? Or is that too generous? I feel there should be an option in the database. Thoughts?

    69 calories. Unless you swallow.

    Yes if you swallow I think it is about 70 calories per tablespoon and full of Zinc.

    I'd count it as 'incidental movement'. It's not worth logging. Just consider it a bonus :)

    I think logging sex as exercise is a bit lazy.If that's the best you can do in the way of exercise, then you're not trying very hard! Think of it like logging an apple martini as a serving of fruit ;) you can't give yourself credit for every little thing that raises your heart rate.

    If you were having sex when you became overweight, you probably aren't going to get thin just by having sex, either.

    In my experience I burn more trying to convince her to do it (it goes without saying I used to be married).

    I only usually last 20 seconds, so I figure I don't burn that many calories.
