    No, I consider it a bonus. In all honesty, unless you're really into it and going at it for awhile (like throwing each other around and conquering the house... You know, great *kitten*), you'd be surprised at the calories.

    I'll probably get haters for this, but it's just like housecleaning. It's a part of every day life and it's NOT exercise. People that log every day cleaning and normal activity/chores (that they also did when they were heavy mind you), are just looking for the easy way out "in my opinion" (don't know how to bold that) and the easy way to try to log calories burned so they can eat more.

    Side note, why not just enjoy your love-making and not incorporate it into your weight loss. I'm pretty sure you did it before calorie counting and never thought of it as "exercise" or a "calorie burner".

    Once again, THIS IS MY OPINION!!

    I tend to agree, I would be curious to try a HRM just to see how much it burns though :tongue:

    I guess you could log it if it was a pre-planed 'work out' with the specific intention of burning calories... but to make it really count you would have to set calorie targets (could be fun) but generally I suspect it would kill the mood.

    No... I don't imagine you'd burn very much no matter how hard you went. Now if you do it for a couple hours hardcore, then sure....log it

    And instead of whispering sweet nothings in your lover’s ear you can yell at them: "Come on! Feel the burn! You can Do it!"

    ha! I log my accordion practice (yes, I'm learning to play... it's an upper-body workout with a 20-lb weight strapped to your chest!) and everyone on my friends list thought I was logging sex

    I sort of love you right now.

    You do realize that women aren't "done" after one victory? We can keep going. Just saying. But if this is a choice by the wifey, then nvm. But I def don't understand that choice. Why only take one victory lap?

    This reminds me of a joke I read.

    "They say that having sex burns as many calories as going on a five mile run.
    Funny; I don't remember being able to run five miles in three minutes..."

    I log it with my wife. It counts. She was even a good sport and let me me wear an HRM a few times. Just for the sake of decorum I renamed it something else, but sex is in the database.
