    It's not really a workout. I mean, sometimes I go for a bike ride because the sun is out and the wind feels good on my face; other times I go out because I'm trying to beat my fastest time on a 40 km course. Now I don't know about you but for me, sex is pleasant and enjoyable, but doesn't have any specific performance goals. I mean, as far as I know, nobody makes a sensor that measures your thrust rate per minute like people do with running cadence.

    I think in theory this is probably supposed to be part of your general activity level. I doubt most people fill out their MFP profile and say "Well I bump uglies five times a week so that means I'm not sedentary."

    Also, I think the way most people who aren't me do it, it's really not that much of a workout anyway. I've heard some horror stories.

    Point taken! And I really agree with the 5 times a week part, I probably spoke (wrote) before I thought that completely through!

    Because wearing a HRM during sexytimes is not particular sexy. Unless it's leather.

    Easy there, settle down! LOL

    Well, looking at it in a practical light, I think the issue would be that there are too many variations in this kind of "workout" - variations in pace/intensity, muscle groups used, duration (most people don't like to bring a stopwatch to bed), etc. Everyone does it differently - not just from person to person, but from occasion to occasion as well. Too many variables to account for.

    Well, anecdotally...I had a lover who was whip thin, really lean, and he really didn't work out except for sex so I definitely think it can be exercise - it's just that it fits into your daily allowance, like walking up the stairs at work. It is part of lifestyle, not in addition to lifestyle. If you do it enough that you are losing weight, then up the calories, because your lifestyle isn't as sedentary as you thought.

    Coz if you're keeping count of how many minutes you're doing it so you can log it later, you're doing it wrong.

    I have seen this come up before - a lot of people said they just list it as walking the dog. I guess so they aren't embarrassed if their diary is open.
