So, how many calories do you actually burn when making love? Well, the answer is not as many as you think, but still enough to justify that extra slice of pizza. On average, a 30-minute sex session can burn around 100-150 calories for men and 60-90 calories for women - that's roughly the same as a brisk walk around the block.
But here's the thing: it's not just about the calories you burn during the act itself, it's about the aftermath. You know, the whole "glow" thing? Yep, that's real, and it can actually increase your metabolism for a short period of time, helping you burn even more calories. It's like a freebie calorie burn, and who doesn't love freebies?
Now, we know what you're thinking: what about different positions? Do they make a difference in the calorie burn department? Well, let's just say that doggy style is not just for the adventurous - it's also a great way to get your heart rate up and burn some extra calories. But don't worry, we won't get into the gritty details of each position, that's for another article (or a private conversation with your partner).
