TMI - over 18, MFP question

Ok, so how are you logging sex in mfp? I mean if you go at it for an hour are you putting undrr aerobics? Lol (embarrassed)

Trying to figure out how this is a success story?

And logging it? I don't, it's a part of healthy moving around in life.

There's been studies that even the most vigorous sex acts don't burn enough calories to bother counting. Maybe under mild walking?

You can create your own "exercise". Do a Google search on the topic of how many calories are burned and create your entry. Estimate on the low end, though is my suggestion. People tend to believe they exert far more effort in activities than they actually do. Just because you sweat a lot doesn't necessarily translate into real exertion. Same thing with entering foods. People often think their portion size is smaller than it actually is ... estimate your portion sizes larger.

HAHAHA!!!

I guess so....

Bummer, but I read something recently that sex doesn't burn many calories at all.

Wish I could find that article, it was from a major newspaper.

[Seela 1,187]

Well, just a thought. .. I think mfp should list it like they do walking...

Sex, light effort

Sex, moderate effer

Sex, extreme effort

Lol...
