    Did anyone else hear about this within the past few days--that the typical length of sex was somewhere between 7 and 13 minutes (not including foreplay)? I'd love to read the article.:blushing:

    I wonder what counts as "vigorous"--are we talking swings and hangin from the ceiling???? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:


    LMBO OMG U have me cracking up at the last line there =))

    thanks everyone! i'm still trying to understand how this whole thing works. the calorieperhour site is really helpful, it lists everything! although i'ma little disappointed,:frown: i really thought sex would burb more cals. it said for moderate in 30 mins was under 100 ( i forget the exact beacause i looked at a few things). and i'm not sure what vigerous is but i know it's not me!:happy: maybe it's the kind you have at the very beginning of the relationship, you know when it's romantic and not planned!:wink: anyway, i like to add all the cals i can, i guess it just makes me feel better!

    If you are counting your sex calories, remember different positions burn more...so if you're stuck on the bottom not doing much don't count it....

    I was just thinking, wouldn't calories be different based on gender? lol I mean I think generally the guys would burn a lot more......:blushing:

    I think I can attest to the fact that the calories burned are not enough to help you lose weight. My boyfriend and I are rabbits. at least once a day for over a year. And. I still gained almost 20lbs in that year. so. hmmmm.:explode:

    although, to be fair, i guess most of the time he does the majority of the work...

    whoever said that men should be able to claim more calories burned is probably correct.

    Such self sacrifice for the good of the community!

    Sounds like we are turning into a socialist weight loss group...our motto could be 'In American MFP, you lose the weight, In Soviet Russia MFP, the weight loses you!'

    (Haha, I love In Soviet Russia jokes...oh well...:huh: )

    THAT WAS SO FUNNY! I BUSTED OUT LAUGHING......I HAVE GOT TO DO THIS TO MY HUSBAND.....HE IS SO ON ME ABOUT HOW I KEEP STOPPING AND RUNNING TO THE COMPUTER TO ADD MY CALORIES, ETC.......TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
    I never count sex, cleaning, walking at the mall, etc.

    If I count sex and all the other things that I do on a day to day basis, I'll become a calorie counting junkie. Before I hop in bed with my man I don't want to say, "hold on one second, I need to get my heart rate monitor." :blushing:

    Ok, not to keep this discussion "ongoing", but my husband is a member here too an we had a debate on this topic. He said that burning cals vs. sex depends entirely on the partner. He says his is mostly.................................:laugh: ............. strengthening of the muscles in his stomach and hip area for the most part................. because of...............:blushing: ................and that I really am not burning or doing much cardio.....therefore he feels that things should change a bit. :mad: Well...............:sad:
