Have you ever wondered how many calories you're burning while you're working up a sweat in the bedroom? Well, it could well be more than you think!
Sex, oral sex and kissing are not only great for your relationship and happiness, they are also beneficial to your physical health.
Not only does getting hot between the sheets get your heart rate up, it can also help you beat the bulge.
Here we reveal how many calories a 10st 7lb woman could burn during sexual encounters.
Giving oral sex: 100 calories per half-hour
A woman can burn a whopping 100 calories every half an hour from performing oral sex.
That's the equivalent of walking for 35 minutes or doing 15 hardcore minutes on the rowing machine.
If you want to ramp it up even further, Los Angeles–based sexologist Jaiya Kinzbach, recommends doing push-ups during the act or even trying out some yoga.
"You can do a little yoga," she told Womanday.com. "Try plank position into downward facing dog, and back into plank where you can lower down and do some oral stimulation."
You can blast an extra 71 calories by adding the occasional push-up and a further 35 doing some yoga moves.
THIS IS HOW LONG YOU'D HAVE TO PERFORM ORAL SEX TO BURN OFF THESE TREATS...
- Can of Coca-Cola (139 calories) = 45 minutes
- Mars Bar (260 calories) = 1 hour 20 minutes
- Big Mac burger (508 calories) = 2 hours 40 minutes
