this is serious.

does it?-ive heard some say it burns heaps,but just as many others say it burns none.

dont think i am trying to lose weight by doing this but im actually very curious

[Olgiebear]

Yes, it does burn calories.
Just being alive burns calories.
To keep warm it takes energy and so we make energy by burning calories.
Some activities burn more calories then other, but in conclusion, yes, sex does burn calories.

It depends on how you have sex or masturbate. If you lay there like a fish or let a machine do the work for you, then it doesn't significantly.

But if you're an acrobat from poontang circus, then I guess yes, it does burn some. Nothing substantial I'd presume, you can probably find some kind of figures by googling. If you want to lose weight, go jogging instead.

everything you do burns calories :/

it just varies in amounts, yes even sitting your but off burns a little calories.

i think it would depend on how "active" you are during sex though

They have Sex - foreplay & Sex - intercourse, but no masturbation.

[Yakushi Kabuto]

My bf and I often joke about how sex is the only exercise we get. It does involve moving various parts of the body vigoriously so there is some kind of force put into it. Even tight controlled actions can do much for the body given the regularity of it.

[Vanity]

Of course it does, just like everything else. Infact I think it can burn quite a lot.

Obviously sex is going to burn more than masturbation though. And certain positions would probably burn more than others. Whoever does more of the 'work'(humping) in the sex is going to burn more also.

[Soul]

Yes, like everything else

[Hannibal]

Sex yes, masterbating...um no.

[Autumn Sky]

No wonder I'm skinny ;-)

[UtahCrip]

how you burn calories by beating off? cuz you be doing pull ups and mastubating or something?

[Mider T]

I burn more calories in a more efficient and fun way, so I wouldn't know.

[Masa Escobar]

^ lol

having sex is like oxygen, the only people who complain are the ones who are not getting any.

Yes, sex keeps you in shape depending on how you do it so yes it burns calories.

[kunoichi_doctor22]

breathing/sleeping alone burns calories..........so the answer is yes.

[Elim Rawne]

Dunno about masturbating,but having sex is kinda like working out(depending on the position),so yeah,it burns calories

[kunoichi_doctor22]

anything that requires energy = burning calories.......breathing requires energy as well so you burn calorie.

[Elim Rawne]

I meant significantly more calories than passive activities.

[Koi]

Does masturbation and/or sex burn calories? Yes.
Is this, like.. a viable way to lose weight? No. It burns calories but unless you have a few hours of constant sex, the calories lost aren't significant.

[Kokain]

Regarding sex: if you're the man, you burn calories. If you're the woman, you receive them.
