Calories burned during an orgasm

In order to answer that question, we had to search for studies and researches on the theme.

One of them is about the number of calories men and women burn during a complete sex session. Released by Plos One Magazine, we have found out that a man loses about 4 calories a minute while having intercourse, while a woman loses about 3 cals during that same time.

If we do the math, a standard sexual relation lasts for about 6 minutes, and that means the couple would leave from 18 to 24 calories on the bed. This means that if we’re looking at a given heart rate, and your orgasms lasts for about 10 to 60 seconds, you can predict a calorie burn out of 4 cals per time. Almost nothing, huh?!

You could be disappointed. On the other hand, reaching the climax is a wonderful thing, no matter what else happens due to it. Also, it’s beneficial to our health, it improves humor, alleviates pain, helps you sleep better, improves your cognitive functions, and gives you loads of pleasurable moments.

And here’s something else you probably didn’t know: even though the ejaculation isn’t necessary in order for a person to climax, the research indicates that regular orgasms and ejaculation may prevent prostate cancer.

In order words, there are a lot of advantages for those who have regular sex!
