Does having sex really help you lose weight?

Question

I have heard that having sex helps you lose weight, but I dont know if its true and how exactly that works.

Answer 1

Yes, it really does help you lose weight.
You are in constant motion and your body sweats, and your heartbeat gets faster. Anything you do, helps you burn calories. This is also true with having sex. Let's just say it is a little more fun too.

Enjoy and Good luck!

PS: Most men get hungry after sex, so do not indulge in food after sex, if not, then it is just the same as eating after a workout. =)

Answer 3

Well it burns quite a few calories so may result in weight lose but no really significant weight lose could come from having lots of sex unless you were dieting too. But if you did everthing the same, ate everything the same as you did before you started having sex then had it everything day for a week then you would lose weight because you would have the same diet but would be burning more calories, but again it would probably be only minimal weight loss

Answer 4

Well if you do it a lot it does help you burn up calories therefore losing some weight but you won't drop 10 lbs after an hour of sex.

Answer 5

Yes it burns extra calories. But there are many things that can help you lose 3 pounds in a year. It does not make a big difference though. Green tea helps. Kelp instead of salt helps. See site below for many weight loss tips.

Answer 6

Well yeah it burns calories, but everything you do burns calories. I wouldn't consider a great way to lose weight by just having sex all the time that isn't going to drop much weight. But great way to have fun while you losing a little weight.

Answer 7

It depends on how active you are during sex. Men probably burn more calories than women since they do more thrusting (typically). You would have to have active sex quite a lot to lose any noticeable weight from it.

Answer 8

Any type of activity burns calories. You burn calories but not that many. Now if you replaced a meal with sex, you would definitely lose weight!

Answer 9

If you want to gain a lot of muscle and gain some weight which you will from gaining muscle. Just eat more often and keep going to the gym. Don't eat to much and try to eat meat before you workout. After you are done working out eat fruit to gain protein. Either way no matter what you do, don't eat junk food. Get more here:

Answer 10

Well, from what I've heard, sex can be good exercise. That said, you probably wouldn't do enough of it to have an effect purely through exercise. Another possibility is that it has a psychological effect with ultimately reduces the amount of junk food you eat. It's hard to say, personally I doubt it would have that great of an effect anyway.
