Sex and Calorie Burning, the Dirty Truth

You've heard it, and you probably believed it, but is there any scientific proof that fucking burns calories? Sure, it has to burn some, everything does, even breathing. But how much? And, regardless of how much, is it going to really stop you from fucking? What, you'd rather jog?

According to the yahoos at Yahoo (link below), "'Most guys think they're outstanding lovers and would never even consider that they might've once left a woman or two unfulfilled,' says Krahn. 'Not surprisingly, most guys also think that the act itself brings a massive calorie expenditure, on par with running a marathon followed by a Tough Mudder or two.'"

Oh no, we can see where this is going.

"A recent (and totally unfortunate) study published in the New England Journal of Medicine debunked the common belief that having sex burns up to 300 calories. According to the calculations of University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, a 154-pound man doing the deed burns about 21 calories during an average sex sesh-a mere 3.5 calories per minute."

Well, it's not like we're into sex because we want to improve how we look. Though, we do have a bit of a food fetish.
