Energy Expenditure During Sex
|
|
How many calories do you burn during sex?
Frappier et al. (2013) investigated this question, and found the following...
"Mean energy expenditure during sexual activity was 101 kCal or 4.2 kCal/min in men and 69.1 kCal or 3.1 kCal/min in women. In addition, mean intensity was 6.0 METS in men and 5.6 METS in women, which represents a moderate intensity."
So, there you have it, 3-4 calories per minute. The subjects in this study were heterosexual couples and thus energy expenditure may vary in homosexual couples, as well as different sexual positions, roles during sexual intercourse, and so on.
And, of course, it goes without saying that we are posting this for your infotainment, and we absolutely do not encourage you to reduce your love-making to a mere calorie burning exercise.
Happy Valentine's Day 💕

'After working with Gary for 6 months, I couldn’t speak highly enough of his knowledge, guidance and coaching. Through my journey, Gary’s programming allowed me to rehab a persistent hamstring and shoulder injury and led me into a GAA Championship season
in the best physical fitness that I’ve reached in years.⠀
Gary always took real care and time to answer my questions, adjusted the program accordingly from my feedback and varied it regularly to keep everything fresh and enjoyable.⠀
Despite being a physio myself, having the accountability and support from Gary was a crucial element to my success and the online coaching gave my 2020 a real drive, focus and enjoyment. The whole experience has been transformative, I feel like a different person with healthier lifestyle habits and a new enjoyment in my training. You certainly won't regret signing up with this guy.'⠀
