    there's better things for calories burned.. sex is a bonus, but I wouldn't suggest to throw urself around just to burn some extra calories.

    What are some things to do to help with what? Are you looking for non-sex activities that burn a lot of calories? Or are you looking for help becoming sexually active?

    Sex with a partner will burn calories.

    Solo sex will also burn calories, but you may have to do it longer. I guess that's not such a bad thing. :laugh:

    Well, you enjoy sex, so that means the physical exertion isn't really noticeable, till you wake up sore and try and remember if you fell out of bed or not =]

    Sex is the only way to burn calories.

    It burns calories, but not THAT many. Unless you're treating your partner like a gymnast treats the pummel horse.

    It's kind of like saying that peanut butter is a good source of protein. It HAS protein but it's not that great of a source of it. It's a better source of fat. Sex is a better source of fun than it is a calorie burner.

    From "Livestrong" site:

    According to the calories burned calculator at HealthStatus, a 180 lb. man will burn 119 calories in an hour of foreplay, or just under 2 calories a minute, while he will burn 346 calories during an hour of intercourse, or just under 6 calories a minute. According to research data from the official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine, that means in terms of calories burned, foreplay is roughly equivalent to an hour of watering the lawn while sex is equivalent to raking the lawn. For someone weighing 130 lbs., the figures are 86 calories for foreplay and 250 for sex.

    Not exactly burning up the kilocals, but that's really not the point of this particular activity, is it?

    Uh. Sleeping also burns calories, you realise that?

    I dont get her question. What is something that can replace burning calories by having sex? How about burning calories by any other means? :/


    PS; If you burn calories by running. you'll lose weight. You'll have more confidence. You'll attract more people. You'll have more sex. Done.

    I'm sorry for the confusion... what I'm asking is what are some non-sexual activities to do that could burn the same amount of calories as sex does.. sorry, I didn't mean it like that.. lol

    This sounds great! Unfortunately, I haven't known too many men that go for a whole hour. And an hour of foreplay? Forget it! LOL

    There are 238947897345897134987190203958905843 billion other activities that you can do which you can burn MORE calories than sex.
    Sex only burns lots of calories if youre doing some sort of crazy *kitten*, super fast moves.
