Will sex help you lose weight

Speaking of weight loss, I believe most of my friends will frown. You know, the process of weight loss is not so beautiful. On the contrary, it is painful and difficult to stick to it. Therefore, there are many people who give up or fail. But recently, people say that sex can help you lose weight. It is not only beneficial to the closeness of the relationship between two people, but also can help you lose weight. Is this true? If this is true, wouldn't losing weight be so troublesome? Let's talk about this question. Can sex help you lose weight?

1. Sex does burn a lot of calories

When people have sex, all systems and organs in the body will have certain physiological and psychological reactions, such as increased heartbeat, breathing, and increased blood pressure. During orgasm, the heart rate can increase to 110-180 beats per minute, the respiratory rate increases to 40 times per minute, and the blood pressure increases to 180/110 mmHg (24/14.7 kPa). Based on this, in recent years some people have believed that having sex will make people consume a lot of heat energy, thus achieving the purpose of weight loss.

2. Sex scientists point out that a middle-aged man has sex twice a week on average, and each time lasts an average of 16.3 minutes from sexual stimulation to orgasm. In fact, it only takes about 10 minutes from the contact of the genitals to the arrival of orgasm.

A researcher published a study pointing out that using sex to lose weight is a misunderstanding of sex and weight loss among people today, because people do not consume much energy during sex. One sexual intercourse only consumes about 250 calories, including orgasm, which only consumes 400 calories.

According to the above statistics, the time a middle-aged man spends on sex each week is only 0.3% of his daily activities. The energy consumed by exercise is determined by the duration and intensity of work.

The orgasm time is very short, and the whole sexual intercourse process is only 10 to 15 minutes, so sexual intercourse is an activity that does not take a long time and requires moderate but not excessive effort. Therefore, sexual life does not consume huge physical strength and excessive energy.

Some people abroad have drawn up a list of the energy consumption of various sexual activities: taking off outer clothes 12 kcal, taking off underwear 8 kcal, foreplay 3 kcal, orgasm 112 kcal, 12-36 kcal after orgasm, etc. But in reality, this effect is full of many environmental factors.

Conclusion: Sex will burn your calories, but not enough to lose weight!
