Why isn't 'sex' available as an exercise to log, on mfp?

    This question gets asked every so often and the answers range from 'Because they like to keep their private lives private' to 'It doesn't burn as much as you think it does'.

    I would just count it in my activity level or as a bonus burn, but no need to log it.

    You just need the right device to log it.

    To get the most accurate data an HRM is essential.

    Sometimes you just want to get it on and not take an hour. That's what quickies are for.

    Doesn't mean they're 'doing it wrong'. At least they're 'doing it'.

    The old MFP code for sex was "Walking dogs, 3.0 mph".

    I just assumed all my friends had invisible dogs :open_mouth:

    I would just personally feel weird if I logged every time I had sex.

    I don't want my friends seeing something like, "congratulate MeganAM89 on burning 100 calories doing sex, vigorous effort."

    It would be worse if it was logged as light effort.

    It's listed under "pickle tickle".

    It you really want to log it, figure about 80 calories for 30 minutes and adjust for your short comings...

    Hahahahaha short comings. Giggidy.

    RIGHT?! Every time someone writes/says his name, I always think of wrecking ball....
    He was hilarious in Orgazmo, though!
