Is sex an exercise??

I was wondering how many calories we spend for 30 minutes in sex??

amusedmonkey · January 2018

No it's not, and very few calories.

i mean....if you get creative ;D But no id count it as more an exercise for mental health and wellbeing vs a cardio lol

Sex falls under NEAT. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Dr. Google says “To calculate how many calories you burn the next time you have sex, multiply the time in minutes by 4.2 (for men) or 3.1 (for women).”

The calories burned from sex are negligible.

..... but the calories burned running away from the angry boyfriend must count for something.

and this, my friends, is why heart rate is NOT correlated with calories burned.

That depends on if you're on top or bottom. Lol

You might want to look into various practices that involve punishment and postures you can only hold with the right amount of muscle strength. Maybe
