While various forms of exercise can help improve your sex life, you can also count the act itself as exercise. If you\u2019re anything like most other adults, you\u2019d probably agree that sexy time is far more enjoyable than gym time, and you\u2019d be thrilled to learn that yes, there have been studies that actually get down to the nitty gritty, leaving few unanswered questions to the imagination. For the sake of curiously sexual beings everywhere, we\u2019re here to clear the air and answer the burning question that\u2019s been on your mind: Just how many calories do you burn while having sex?<\/p>\n<p>From your first time with your high school sweetheart to your latest passion-filled sexual experience with your significant other, it\u2019s safe to say that sex is a major part of your life. With benefits that outweigh just connecting with your loved one alone, the act can also help with your health, as well. Like any other type of exercise, it all depends on the level of intensity. That said, take the following with a grain of salt, as you\u2019re not guaranteed these results with every act of passion.<\/p>\n<p>According to research, men burn about 100 calories during an average sex session, while women burn about 69 calories. When considering these numbers, keep in mind that the average sex session conducted \u2014 for scientific purposes, of course \u2014 lasted about 25 minutes. Naturally, this number of calories will vary, depending on your size, level of intensity, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering why these numbers differ significantly between sexes, an article in Women\u2019s Day suggests that the researchers attribute the gap to the fact that men tend to do more of the work, and are therefore more active over the length of intercourse. Now again, keep in mind that this study monitored only 21 heterosexual couples over the course of 4 separate experiences, so if you\u2019re a lady who likes to take charge in the bedroom, don\u2019t get discouraged in thinking that your partner is guaranteed to burn more calories than you with every romp.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who are still curious and want to dig even deeper, try looking at an RPE scale. When it comes to your personal fitness efforts and potential results, you can measure how many calories you might burn using the Rate of Perceived Exertion scale, and you should be able to get a more accurate read on just how much exercise you\u2019re getting each time you and your partner jump in the sack.<\/p>\n<p>And still, if you\u2019re craving even more insight on just how many calories various acts of affection are burning, you might want to check out this list of 8 Sexy Ways to Burn Calories, which cites kissing as burning 68 calories per hour and massaging as 80 calories per hour.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Saturday, 29 October 2016 Source: Cheat Sheet 2016-10-29 File photo When it comes to exercise, it\u2019s tough to beat a good ole romp between the sheets.
