A certain friend who shall remain nameless and I were joking around about how sex was a great way to burn calories. Ever the curious sort, I sought out information as to exactly how many were burned to determine if it was true that the best fat burner could actually be sex...
A problem then happened, it appears it's not agreed upon how many calories having sex burns. There are sites that state 34 calories per hour which seriously doesn't seem right though their site done in humor was entertaining. Then there are sites that claim you burn 150 calories per half an hour.
According to MSNBC using their handy dandy calorie burning calculator that's online you burn more calories cleaning house 105 than having sex, 35 per half an hour. Now that was a bummer. So, I'm going for this calculator because it says for my weight? It's 153 calories per half an hour, which is more than housework which is 105 per half an hour...

side note, foreplay is more caloric burning
though, you are old, why are you talking about sex...
lmao - Old people still have sex, even people much older than me.
no, no you don't
when i turn old (defined by myself when i reach the right age (i.e. when i can't without a heart attack)) i will stop having sex
I'm sorry Barga but people my age still enjoy sex.
:-)
grumbles
do your kids read this blog?
anyways, you burn about 75 calories per half hour for sex (at my weight, probably less for you) and about 105 for foreplay
now, rough sex depends on what you are doing
That's a different number than what either one of the others cited - lol and my older kids read this blog and they know their mom still enjoys sex.
:-)
And...if you really wanna be shocked I'm married to a man who's 14 years younger than me.
:-)
that is for my weight
assuming you are average, you are about 50-60
for foreplay about 80-90
well, no wonder, he must still be vigorous
Well, that's better than 35 but that would again mean housework burned more calories than sex. Which I have a mental block on accepting.
:-)
lmao at 35 he's not ready to be considered old yet.
:-)
um, might be a long one, but sex while doing dishes burns more
I'll have to try that one.
:-)
this is getting too weird
tata for now
See what happens when you say someone's too old for sex?
Night Barga
:-)
Barga,
I plan on having sex when I'm 95 and beyond. And I'll do it with 25 year old women. Hahahahhahahahaha.
Lisa,
Only you would take a conversation and turn it into a blog project. :) Good info, but if I have a choice of cleaning out the closet or having sex for a good 45 minute workout, the closet will be messy for one day more.
you know, i might be sexist, but i am fine with a guy doing that
provided it is a hot chick
C, you've known me long enough to know the twists and turns of my curiosity (lol).
Barga, yeah that would be a bit sexist for you to think it's okay for a 95 year old guy as long as it's a hot chick.
don't blame me, blame evolution
Or blame pharmaceuticals.
:-)
Barga, she's a mother of 5... get a clue. ;)
Lisa, thanks for revealing the secret of getting 20+ comments on a blog post. I think my "personal best" so far has been 3. LOL! Okay, so I guess my destiny is clear... I gotta do a blog post about "elderly" disabled people having and enjoying sex -- um, purely for the calorie burn of course. ::snicker::
BTW, you go, girl! What the world needs more of is people like us... old and into research. ;)
lmao Lawrence, over on Glass City comment threads over 100 happen but typically if it's related to bashing someone or an idea.
Every now and then you have to have fun, which is what this one was for me.
:-)

I know what the difference is....aptitude :-) Some got it and some don't.
For the record I'm 46. Expertise wins out over vigor every time.
Ha
bullshit, we all know taht the harder and faster you go the better
