The thought of gaining weight causes most women to feel depressed.
Some women resort to diet control and different forms of exercises as a means to burn calories and to look healthy always.
Sex is considered as one of the most effective ways of losing a pound of body fat.
Regrettably, it has not been explored by women.
It is recommended that women should have more sex and focus on achieving orgasm.
It has been discovered that ‘Women burn more calories during sex if they reach orgasm’.
A recent study by the University of Quebec at MontrealTrusted Source, using couples in their early 20s observed that women burn at least 69 calories (3.1 calories per minute) in every sexual activity they engage in.
How To Burn More Calories During Sexual Intercourse
The average bout of sexual activity lasts for only about six minutes, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine said.
Given the research, the ‘average’ sexual activity won’t make much of a dent in your calories burning journey.
The following considerations could help achieve your target;
Go Longer
If a woman wants to burn more calories, it will be reasonable for her to fully participate in the sexual activity for a longer amount of time.
The longer the sex, the better the health benefit.
Make It Steamy
Sex is a form of exercise. The warmer it is, the more you will sweat, and the more calories you will burn.
Try Different Sex Positions
The positions you execute during sex also determine the amount of body fat one can burn in the process.
For instance, a woman who weighs 140 pounds (and her male partner who weighs 190 pounds), the missionary position with her on the bottom for 10 minutes will burn 14 calories for her, and he will burn 47 calories.
If they were standing during the intercourse with her in front, she will likey burn 30 calories and he would burn 51 in 10 minutes.
Again, if he was holding her up for 10 minutes during the sexual act, he would burn close to 65 calories and she would burn 40.
What more can we say? You know the deal now. Try it and feel good about yourself.
