    LOL....this is great.

    I am going to wear the chest strap and monitor next time. I think we should start a new forum called HRM-Inter. We should all record what our HR and burn numbers were for the session. To avoid embarrassment, I will not post duration.

    it burns hardly any calories despite how great you or he thinks you are...not worth counting ( though depending on your rating on the freaky scale, you may want to log those calorie free proteins you ingested)

    GROSS- about the calorie free proteins..by the way..it's 50 cal a tbsp I heard. GROSSSSSSSSSS!

    Here is a link that I use to help me determine my calorie burn. Sex is on there. It asks your weight and how long. I would definitely count it since you might be burning under your calories. You dont want to be under 1200. http://www.healthdiscovery.net/links/calculators/calorie_calculator.htm

    And just a word on being under 1200 calories. I enjoy being under 1200 calories. It happens regularly. My weight loss has been awesome, my muscles are intact, and I feel like I am running clean.

    If you are trying to bulk up, you can't go this low on calories. If you are trying to cut down, you can. Eat varied fruits and veges, take vitamins, drink lots of water, and exercise. Give yourself a day here and there that you can go over on your calories, your body will thank you for it.

    I checked out this website and it seemed odd to me some of the exercises they had on there and how few calories they burned. Sex was low on the list at 79 calories for someone weighing 220 lbs @ 30 mins. The site also listed housecleaning (185) and gardening (238) higher than weight training, general (158). I wonder how accurate these numbers are.

    Thanks for the link though.

    I remember reading in one of my health magazines recently that sex can burn anywhere from 85 to about 250 calories. Of course depending on if you're doing missionary or the human chandelier and if you're just rolling around on the bed or throwing people against walls.

    OMG I tried it in my journal today after a exhausting long session. I'm guessing yes, it is at least 30 calories every 15 minutes, I bet it's more.

    Oh and P.S. Apparently there is an Iphone app that's suppose to measure your sex activity. You open the app and leave the phone on the bed and it measure by how much the bed moves and tells you how many calories you burned and I think a couple of other things. I saw it on The Doctors but they said they weren't sure how accurate it was.

    Its just part of normal daily activity in my opinion.

    Normal daily activity?! I'm lucky if it's once a month!!

    hahah this is the best thing that i have ready today. if you can count cleaning and gardening in your weight loss why not add sexin make it a work out throw in some power squats and some yoga stretches. and afterwards walk the dog together after cuddles or course. its bonding all around.

    i did wear my HRM one night, just to see :wink: and for 30 minutes of foreplay and sex i only burned about 50 calories. so unless you are extremely acrobatic during your sessions i don't think it will be enough to log it .
