It is a form of activity, but you don't burn too many calories doing it.

depends on the sex :) vigorous sex I've heard can burn about 400-500 calories. but normal sex doesn't really burn that much. But there are great benefits to having an orgasm, helps immune system, helps stress levels and we know stress is bad for weight. The benefits of sex are more than the benefits of just mastrubating, but I imagine there is some benefit to that also, but not much calorie burning.

They say that sex burns 200 calories a pop. Any kind of physical movement is going to burn some calories.

since any type of activity is considered exercise, yup, sex is one, and it burns some pretty good calories. since this is true, i'd have to say so would masterbating.

Sex can be good exercise, masturbation would depend on how vigorously or how long you do it for. Perhaps you would like to enlighten us?

Yes. There was a couple on Oprah who claimed to lose a lot of weight by having sex all day.
I don't know about doing yourself.

If it burns calories, it's exercise.
