    Okay so one of my friends posted a post that said sex burns about 4 calories a minute :love: . Anyone actually test this theory with a HRM or any other way? and if so how did you log it in MFP and how does it compare to 4 calories a minute?

    Thanks :-) and please be mature about this people we are all adults here (I hope :laugh:)

      I haven't tracked this, but I have to say I got a big laugh out of imagining approaching my husband about it. Because, ya know, HRM chest straps are *so* sexy. I can just imagine his face...

      Hah! I am curious though. Now if only I had some slinky lingerie with a nice bra band to hide the strap under...buahaha.

      I bet it differs by how much work you put into it and if you are on the giving or receiving end of things.

      My girlfriend and I were talking about this actually, but the whole idea of wearing my HRM to bed seems unusual.

      And to be scientific it would have to be various types of sex over various periods of time.

      I looked it up on line and was unable to find a reliable count of calories burned. It is very subjective of course.

      LOL. I think your husbands would love it. You should also try a variety of positions and see what happens when one of you is working harder than the other. Don't forget to log it. :-)

      If you are receiving you might as well just log everytime you lay down and sleep :P

      A five minute session?? Oy! But in all seriousness, this is an easy answer. Type it into google. Unfortunately, you would need to continue having se* for at least an hour, and vigorous se* at that, to really count it . But hey, 4 calories is 4 calories, so log away as "other"!

      That depends on so many things. That's like saying "running burns 10 calories per minute". Depends on your speed, weight, age, incline, resistance/terrain, VO2 Max, blood pressure, etc.

      MFP actually doesn't have it in their database. ;) I'd say about 4 calories/minute is about right, though.

      This was actually something a friend of mine and I looked up online, just for kicks....never go to the answer, but this website had me LMAO!!! Warning, though, for those offended by the subject, don't open the site. I, personally, thought it was HILARIOUS!
