How Many Calories Does Sex Burn?

Welcome to the Friday mini episode of America’s number one sex podcast Dr. Sex Fairy. I am Dr. Kanwal Bawa, America’s favorite sex doctor and as always, I am here to transform your life.  Today we are going to talk about how many calories you burn during sex. Make sure you share this episode with your friends and significant other! Help me spread my message of sexual wellness, and don’t forget to support this podcast and me by leaving a 5 star review.

Let’s get talking about calories and sex. A great round of sex can leave you hotter and sweatier than a brisk walk on a hot Florida day. Have you ever wondered how many calories you burns? Let me answer that question for you. While there have been several studies on the number of calories sex burns, they have not been large studies at all. According to a 2013 study, sex at a moderate intensity burns about 3.6 kilo calories per minute when averaged between men and women. 

That said, men burn a lot more calories because they are usually larger, and therefore use up more energy at the same intensity, and during the same time frame. Men burn 4.2 kCal/ minute while women only burn 3.1. Couples had sex that lasted a mean duration of 24.7 minutes. Men used up 101 kCal per session, but women only burnt 69. They averaged out to 85 kCal per session. 

While the sex burns significantly fewer calories on average than if you ride a stationary bike at a high intensity, or go jogging, it is comparable to the calories burnt during a brisk 20 minute walk. Plus this form of exercise can certainly be more fun. It also feels a lot easier. So, the next time you don’t feel like leaving your warm comfy bed to go to the gym or go for a run in the rain, roll over and start some action in bed.

Until next time.
