This could be why, seems like you need at least 1/2 hour to burn a decent amount. Doesn't give totals for 5 mins or less...... :sad:0 -
well if you do a little math you will find on average you burn about 150 calories in 30 minutes of active sex wouldnt that make it about 5 calories a minute which then would be about 15 calories in 5 minutes?
