Okay so I hope not to offend anyone but I am totally curious why MFP doesn't have sex as a way to burn calories, lol! I mean come on you know you have to...and it's great fun! I am curious as to how many calories I burn...I wonder if my bf would object to me wearing my hrm while having sex? LOL...
I'm just being kooky, though the thought did pop into my head and I had to check the database just to make sure it wasn't on there!

EVERYBODY ASKS THIS QUESTION. Get a hrm, wear it during sex if you so desire and log it if you want. I consider it lifestyle and don't count it as exercise. Search "sex" in the forums and you'll know what I mean when I say everybody asks.0

When I first bought my HRM, DH wanted me to wear it during sex. I refused. What happens when my heart rate is less than he expected or desired? lol0
-
I was surprised too but I calculated my burn and I enter it as "Various Aerobics"
Just saying ;P0 -

@d12-VERY funny and very true!!0

Totally wear it...go for it...
I read an article about someone who lost weight by having sex more often, and for longer periods of time.

I log it as "Salsa Dancing..."0

Its not on there because although you have to be 18 to join up the site is PG13...plus do you really want your pals seeing "starryheart83 burned 109 calories doing 25 minutes of "having sex"...and more to the point do they want to know everytime you do rumpy pumpy?? Oh and it really doesn't burn that much despite what some may think unless you're into coital gynastics0

Wear your HRM then you'll kno...0

Sexual activity: choose light, moderate, active.

I Googled it, 30 min's of sex burns approximately 85 calories.0

Ooops sorry didn't realize that everyone asks this question! It just was really on my mind and decided to voice it!0

I consider it part of my activity level and don't log it. Plus, I don't know about most people - but I'd rather not announce it every time I do it (and I'm sure my boyfriend appreciates that too...).0
-
I log it as "Salsa Dancing..."
Absolutely love it!0 -

Hahaha! That is totally true...I wouldn't want that to be an issue!0 -
salsa dancing? I'll have what she's having!!0

LOL starry! My boyfriend and I were LITERALLY just talking about this yesterday. It is lifestyle, but hell, if it's a hot session, I would log it in.
On the other hand, I guess your friends don't want to see "So-and-so burned 600 calories doing 2 hours of "sex" lmao0 -

Yeah I might not want people to know that, although I'm not shy! Though you could always log it in as something else! Like the great suggestion of salsa dancing! lol...0 -
sex "should" be considered part of your normal routine, and there for not something that should really be logged because its not out of your normal.0
