Sex as exercise.

---

so how well does sex work as exercise? 0.o Been reading and its suggest to work up a sweat. I have begun to wonder because my partner has on more then one occassion gotten pretty sweaty.. I on the other hand don't sweat very easily.. Granted I'm still newer to it..edit so I probably don't get the same exercize as someone more use to it >.<

I wouldn't replace a well balanced exercise program with sex. I really doubt anyone can burn enough calories to start losing weight.You have to add the variables that's going to affect the calorie burning. Are you more active or less than your partner? How long is each session or how long each of you can keep it up? Are you in good weight or are you heavier? And I can almost gaurantee that you're going to eat way more calories than burn them through sex.I think people tend to sweat because they are either really going at it or they are a bit overweight in the first place.

Sex as exercise to lose weight is BS.. You can't burn enough calories to have any effect.

Sex... I think that people who claim to lose weight through sex, not only have high endurance sex, but also want to look sexier for their partner, so they start subconsiously eating better, and maybe walking a bit more or doing things to help them look sexier. Just my thought.Although, there are nights when my man and I do a marathon, three or four times, in about a dozen positions, and it feels like a work out.

Works wonders for my respiratory system ... but only if I'm working hard (which is most of the time.) And my abs get more defined when I have sex often.

It really all depends. I wouldn't replace a regular exercise for it but as to an addition it works great.If you're 180-200 pounds (assuming average male) You'll burn a few hundred calories with an hour of sex.I lost 10 pounds when I start to have sex, and I still ate bad, so it wasn't diets or anything new, but I usually had it every day for 2-4 hours. and we know not everyone has that time.So it's a nice addition, but don't replace normal exercises with Sex.

How awesome would that be?

uh around the time i was bangin (gang bangin) i prolly had sex anywhere from 4-6 times a day, as well as smoked weed often. weed is proven to increase your digestion/absortion of food, which in turn gives you the "munchies"now im not using this as a 100% proven theory, because i was also training myself by fighting about 2-3 times a day so that would factor in alot of stuff...but in that year and a half or so of bangin, i lost a good 30 lbs, gained about 12-15 lbs of muscle. and i think it was from having sex so much... sex makes me hungry, but since i'd have a cig/smoke weed right after, the hunger would disipate for a while then i'd either have sex again, or go out and fight, and then have sex smoke and do it all over again...so i didnt eat much, which caused my weight to drop quite a bit...those are my numbers, i mean... you might be able to factor/use that scientifically or sumthin...

You know, I do question the weed increasing your metabolism thing. In honesty I wouldn't be surprised if what increased your metabolism is munching on stuff 24/7.Because I started eating just a little bit every hour or so like celery or a apple, at one point, and until I stopped, I was able to eat as many calories as I wanted and it never effected me.but that was a couple of years ago.

I think hat depends on the situation..
lets say your a whore whos really into her work, and your servicing one man an hour for 14 hours daily, I bet that girl has a pretty tone body :wink:

Yes, but for the average person.. sex isn't going to make a significant impact.

No, its not, but the lack of it will.

I'm sorry but TheFallenLight and GrownPastMyYears, you're both full of it. There's no way you can loose that amount of weight with sex and you can easily gain back those calories eating almost anything that same day.

GrownPastMyYearsI've noticed that a lot of what GrownPastMyYears says is bullshit.

http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/calories-sex.shtmlMainly aimed at virtual starthats first... second. scroll to the bottom of the page for a blunt summary...now take into account this. i dont bust in 30 minutes, i'd say at least an hour and a half, but theres a significant amount of men in the world who bust after an hour... thats an estimate of 600 calories... now multiple that by lets say 3 (its an off day) thats 1800 calories! and thats saying that i continue at that 1 hr orgasm, but the majority of men take longer to cum after that first time! let alone the second or third!Now start reading and thinking about what you say virtual star, i dont think your THAT MUCH of an idiot... i SAID that i would have sex, AND surpress my hunger... Now OBVIOUSLY your not a rocket scientist, but surpressing your hunger causes your body to go into hibernation mode, which makes it eat off of the fat, and muscles that your not using.since i was also fighting consistently throughout those days, i was using all of my muscles, which would make my body target the fat... now during the times that i DID eat something, it was high protein no fat.now lets take all of my daily calorie intake/ burning into acctsex- 1800 (off day lets say) fighting- 1000 (only 2 fights) smoking weed/cigs- 300 for weed, about 320-350 for cig's from smoking a near pack a day.so ok you add the 2, carry the Y, subtract C from the square root of A and you got.... 3425 calories burned a day... lets include minor work outs, and i'd say im around 4000 calories a day...now include the 80g protein shakes i'd have for breakfast and diner... i'd say those are a good 600-650 calorie drinks each (if you get the calories from protein.)and lets say i ate me some pussy and whip cream or somethin, maybe had me an icecream soaked in chocolate syrup n such... that would push me down to like.... burning 2000 calories a day...now... your not a rocket scientist... neither am i... but in all honesty, that would mean im LOSING weight, and since im working out on the muscles and feeding it the protein that it needs to grow, my body goes after the fat. now stop trying to big yourself up by TRYING to insult my intelligence and credibility Virutal star.sorry for ranting there, and getting a little pissed off... but yea... anyways... as for you LTTA... i have no idea who you are, but you say that what i say is bullshit... crosses arms, assumes relaxed position how so?

You just one crazy machine, aren't you?

600 calories in an hour? Only in a fantasy world.

3425 calories burned a day... lets include minor work outs, and i'd say im around 4000 calories a day...
Are you telling me you lose over a pound every time you do all that shit? Bullshit. If you're losing that much weight in a day, you need a doctor.

Quote:

maybe had me an icecream soaked in chocolate syrup n such... that would push me down to like.... burning 2000 calories a day...
So, you lose over a pound and GAIN back 2000 calories? Yup, you need a doctor. Yo-yo dieting isn't healthy!

If you're trying to do the math, at least make it more organized. I had a hard time trying to see where you're getting at.

OBVIOUSLY, you are not a rocket scientist. If you try to starve yourself, your body will burn muscle first and then eventually fat. And it's called 'starvation mode' not "hibernation mode":  Quote:Why does a very low calorie intake slow down weight loss?Quite simply, your body goes into 'starvation mode'. This mechanism, which is thought to have evolved as a defence against starvation, means the body becomes super efficient at making the most of the calories it does get from food and drink. The main way it does this is to protect its fat stores and instead use lean tissue or muscle to provide it with some of the calories it needs to keep functioning. This directly leads to a loss of muscle, which in turn lowers metabolic rate so that the body needs fewer calories to keep ticking over and weight loss slows down. http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/calories/burning_calories/starvation.htmSO, you are not doing yourself any favors by using this method.

http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/calories-sex.shtmlThat's a funny site. Under "Amost getting caught", you burn 5 calories by jumpnig out of the window. 15 if the window wasn't open.Excuse me if I don't take that site seriously.> Now OBVIOUSLY your not a rocket scientist, but surpressing your hunger causes your body to go into hibernation mode, which makes it eat off of the fat, and muscles that your not usingWow, please tell me you're not trying to sound serious. It takes a LOT for your body to start eating your own/fat muscles to gain energy. Simply being hugry won't work. Try not eating for a week (with only drinking water), and you might get there.> now... your not a rocket scientist... neither am i... but in all honesty, that would mean im LOSING weight, I'm glad you realize you're not a rocket scientist. But in all honesty, you're full of shit and you know it (I hope you do).> as for you LTTA... i have no idea who you are, but you say that what i say is bullshit... crosses arms, assumes relaxed position how so?The above posters and I just explained to you how.Btw, how many calories did you lose by crossing your arms?

I know I'm going off topic for a bit, but LTTA, you remind me of someone.
