Wasn't sure where to put this one, lmao!
But is anyone else ever tempted to log sex as their exercise? I mean, especially for us woman when we are on top it'll burn a good amount of calories.

Been asked many many times before and the answer is always no....and calories burnt it's waaaaay less than you would like.0

If you do a search here there are lots of topics on it, but the reality is - in light of the male bravado of hours of intercourse - the average intercourse session is only 10-15 of moderate activity and burns about 100 calories or so. So about 400 per hour for those sexual Olympiads...which is the same as waking 4 miles at a 15 minute/mile pace.

Now, I only lift once a day, but I think many would endeavor for three times a day "workouts" where that is concerned.0

This isn't a debate. Sex doesn't burn many calories (the average duration of sex is ~5 minutes) and is accounted for in your daily activities.

If you are so bored, why don't you go burn some calories. Remember to get on top so you can burn enough for a chocolate chip cookie.0 -

The average duration is five minutes?!!!! Why bother for five minutes?
OP...log it if you like, but if your numbers don't change, you'll want to change that. THere's no harm in logging any of your activity...if you have an HRM, you could do a little challenge for yourself and your mate, and test it out one nite. We did, as long as you're not only playing for FIVE minutes, you could burn a fair number. We did
But no one ever wants to hear that..lol (I logged it one time as "walked dog vigorously"...until one of my MFP friends busted me!) It's your diary, your weight...YOU DO YOU xo 2 -

I'm sorry but I have at least 35 mins of "play" (1-3 times a day)... Those calories would totally add up!!0
