    Oh how funny as I recently typed in "sex" as I was sure they HAD to have the calorie count for it and it was nowhere to be found. I have a mechanical valve that ticks away and is going at a very past pace at that time but still don't know how many calories burned. Shoot...maybe I should slip on my polar watch....if only the chest strap were a bit sexier...lol

    How many calories can you really burn in a minute and a half anyway? Unless you count the 3 hours of begging and pleading before hand, maybe.

    To be honest I don't log it, I like to think of it as a bonus burn I don't know the amount of lol

    If you seriously want to log it use the following website to work out your Burn Calories...

    Good Luck!!!

    Don't log it...it can just be "bonus" calories burned.

    Oddly enough, when I first started using my MFP app on my phone, it tried to MAKE me log sex! Seriously, every time I would type in "cycling", it would, by default, switch that to "f*cking!" Sure, every one of the letters I typed was close to the letter that got substituted, but really, how smart is a smart phone that wants to change mundane words to vulgarities?

    Anyway, I don't log it. I account for it in my daily activity level to calculate my BMR.

    I dont log it. I only log the actual times I work out. I dont log cooking or cleaning either

    If your cooking or cleaning is as intense as relations, then you should probably do something about that o.o

    I guess if I logged it but I probably won't I would do HIIT or wrestling.

    only if I do the "work" and if I remember the next day to log it. This has only happened once (remembering to log it). And I just logged it as wrestling.

    I have logged it as Pilates. It seems about right. Even if we go longer I only claim a half hour. I don't log it every time but I have done this in the past for those times when it's really intense. There is no doubt we burn calories. :wink:

    I probably burned more calories laughing at all the comments put on here.

    Never logged it but I was curious. I thought 60 min was the norm? But then again, when you have a husband that f*cks like a porn star...*giggles*

    I don't. I figure it's just like cleaning, gardening, etc...I was already doing it when I got as big as I was and it obviously wasn't making a difference in my weight. I only count things that I'm intentionally doing to move closer to my goal of weight loss & better health. Sex is for the sheer pleasure.
