Ok, But Seriously: Is Sex A Viable Weight Loss Option?

Ok, But Seriously: Is Sex A Viable Weight Loss Option?

Yesterday, we wrote about Pauline Potter, the world’s heaviest woman, who has lost nearly 100 lbs without leaving her bed–because, she says, she gets all the exercise she needs through intercourse. And while it certainly seems to be working for her, are the calories burned during sex and the flood of hormones it creates really enough for the average person? Are the potential heart-rate-increasing benefits of sex just an added bonus, or can having sex help you lose weight? More »
