Calorie Estimation? (NSFW)

Okay, so I have a somewhat "mature" question about how to estimate calorie burning.. How do I estimate how many calories I burn during sex? I know it can vary greatly based on many factors, but what are those factors, and how do the calories add up?

Any ideas, links, or tips would be appreciated! :)

    You could wear a heart rate monitor.

    For me:

    3450 kcal/hour.

    So approximately 6 calories total.

    Err, daily activities should just be part of your baseline caloric intake.

    I'd guess somewhere around light calisthenics?

    I mean the variety can vary wildly from...corpse...to giddy up

    LMAO at above replies.

    The heart rate monitor is probably the most accurate.

    The factors are the usual: your weight, muscle mass, and individual metabolism. But also are position, effort, whether or not you "finish," and probably more that I can't think of right off. So if you're the type that just lays there and doesn't complete, not much (I'm guessing not, since you felt the need to ask in the first place). But if you're on top, multiple position, sweaty for hours... lots! I found about 140cal/hour when I researched this, but that seemed like a pretty tame average when you compare it with other aerobic exercises. :wink:

    Record it, put it on youtube (mark up which one is you) than ask people to vote the calories you burned....
