Sex as exercise

Sexual Wellbeing

Erotic Exercise Even though sex probably involves less energy expenditure than most aerobic exercise, it can give you a workout, depending upon how vigorous it is. After all, sex, and particularly orgasm, involves the contraction of muscles in the arms, legs and abdomen. Also, your heart and breathing rates rise when you are sexually aroused just as they do when you exert yourself on the playing field or at the gym. Another bonus is that you're likely to drift off into a deep, luxurious sleep after you tire yourself out.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Sex as exercise. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
