How much calories does sex burn then??

just wondered...

500 calories every ten minutes.

That depends on how active you are at the time... Calorie counter says 100 calories an hour, which seems remarkably low to me for how hard it gets your cardiovascular system working!

 Fortius just works REALLY hard for about 10 seconds.....so if you calculate that out to 10 minutes, totally 500 calories! ><

I read in cosmo that an orgasm burns like 150 calories :-P

Wear a heart rate monitor and report back.

Hahahaha.

Unless you're engaging in some extremely strenuous positions, probably not a lot more than your base metabolism. You can find your own stats for your height/weight/age if you search for it in the activity log. For me, moderate-level sex (whatever that means!) only burns 20 more calories an hour than reading a book or sleeping.

 If you're doing it on a stairmaster...

Contemplates the logistics...will the stairmaster hold the weight of both parties?  Is there any additional danger of abrasion or other injuries?  Is the motion of the stairmaster conducive to the activity in question?

Hmm...I'm going to have to skip the stairmaster.  Perhaps yoga postitions?

I thought yoga makes people gassy?

Not any more than exuberant sex in my limited experience.
