    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.

    Ive known of people to list it as wrestling lol

    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.

    For some it's a quick sprint and not a marathon to be considered a workout...lol

    I've heard a lot of euphemisms for it, but that's a new one. :)

    Now that I read it, it sounds a bit "mood killer" and creepish, a lot of folks went right to the moment for data, I was kinda thinking the after thought of the act

    Do you pump full out for an hour without a break or slowing down? Because that would be at most 300 calories. It's counted in your TDEE. This question has been asked many times before,

    "Indoor cardio."

    Well, sometimes outdoor cardio. Maybe it's a "lap" in the hike.

    It's part of your normal daily activity level. Or did you add this as purposeful exercise when you began to lose weight?

    In my single days, I should have been asking the ladies if they'd like to help me do something about the obesity epidemic. What a missed opportunity!

    Because according to a study, the average length of sex is 5.4 minutes. That's hardly worth recording. Just consider it a bonus.

    If I were on top and we banged for two straight hours, I STILL wouldn't burn as many calories as I do during a five mile jog.

    For everyone who really, REALLY needs to know how many calories you're burning during sex, here you go:

    Because it's included in the concept of NEAT for sedentary people.
