    "According to most sources, the "average" lovemaking session (30 minutes) burns between 50 and 100 calories"

    That quote if from an article that was just put out today at:
    http://www.ediets.com/news/article.cfm/cmi_2427971/code_30171

    But there are a ton of factors that determine how many calories you burn during sex.

    I say give in... it may not be a lot of calories burned but t'll be your most 'satisfying' workout :happy:

    Yea, it might burn a bit more...but you're still lying down, so you might burn about as much as if you were sitting up with the added movement in there. But if you're on top then it'd be much more, and it can really be an ab workout. :blushing:

    Good God; 300 calories for an HOUR. Let's see; by that chart I compute I would only burn 15 calories and then would be asleep.

    I saw a site that gave a really low number too. Whomever came up with that doesn't know what I know!:love: Been in a few marathons, I've "hit the wall" as athletes say....and the floor, and the dresser, etc. Tae Bo has never left me completely unable to move!

    :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: Have him chase you around the house and if he can catch you then he can have his way with you. Just think of all the calories you'd burn with a chase and then sex.

    men burn Kcal because we first have to chase the girl down then we have to talk you into having sex then there's playing around because we all know she needs time to get ready. by this time we have to go back to talking you into it, then head to the kitchen for snack because she has to get ready for the 10 sec of intense cal burning. aaaaaaaaaaaaaa forget it never mind I gota go to work in the morining
