    The formula should be somewhat close to: 1 hour of vigorous cardio / 30 = Total Calories :p

    Is 30 seconds of vigorous exercise worth counting ? :p

    I know i'm late with this comment but, you are ALL doing it wrong if you are only lasting 5-20 minutes. Come on people..... find different ways to keep it going longer. Take a pill or buy some OTC lubricant. I'm 52, my girl is 51 and we just got "busy" Saturday night for close to 2 hours, and that's nowhere near average for us. We were a sweaty soaking mess. We had to shower afterwards just to go to sleep. That's 360+ calories and a fabulous night to remember, till next weekend that is.. :)

    maybe I don't want to longer...if I am satisfied in 10 mins yah...time for sleep. Esp since it's an every night thing sometimes 2-3x @10min then 5mins then 5mins...

    Trust me..my sexy husband and I are not doing it wrong.

    For those of us in our 30s and with young children, it's closer to 2 minutes than 2 hours, so we probably burn 3.6 calories at best!

    That's Awesome. :) Kudos to you and your hubby. Love to hear that love and desire still exists in married couples.
    My comment was meant to be humorous, I hope I didn't offend you or anyone. My apologies if I did.

    Says the once a week type of guy LOL. Sex doesn't have to be long to leave the women satisfied and smiling.
