Is sex included in burning calories and how is it calculated?

About 4.1 cal/min for men and 3.1 cal/minute for women. See http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0079342 for the details. Their test subjects averaged 22 years old, so if you're older you likely burn a tad less.
But I have to say, if you're having sex just for the calorie burn, I suggest you re-think your priorities.1 -

I don't think that includes climbing to the ceiling. Can we get something a little more accurate please? I'd wear my leather HRM but the battery is dead.1
