Question for women

143zt · 08-18-2003, 01:40 PM

Hi-
I have a ?..personal ? for women..is it true that the more sex a person has..the more it prevetns weight loss?
I have noticed the correlation..maybe it in my head but I need reassurance as to if I am correct or way off

Thanks in Advance

Hmmmm....what do you consider a LOT of sex? I have noticed no correlation between frequency of sex and weight loss, other than the more weight I lose, the more sex I seem to have

That's because I have more energy and feel more like it, and because my DH really likes the new me!

Seriously, I don't think more sex would make you NOT lose weight. On the contrary it's good exercise so should help you lose.

(Edited to say "I don't think more sex would prevent you from losing weight" That's what I meant to say)

I thought that sex would release estrogen which in turns prevertns weight loss...It makes you "thicker"..is that true?

The only sex-related thing I can think of that would prevent weight loss would be...um...pregnancy.

Your body releases estrogen whether you have sex or not. Even nuns produce estrogen.

I have not noticed regular sexual activities to have interferred with my weight loss.

I'd always heard that sex was good for weight loss because it helps burn calories (especially if it's very active)

The average sex act uses up 150 calories. By "average" I mean, just the usual thing, no swinging from chandeliers, chasing each other up and down the stairs. Sounds to me as if you could lose a bit of weight during the process.

Negatory, good buddy.

Sex is good for muscle tone, complexion, hair thickness and texture, and the soul. And it's good exercise if you do it in an athletic manner (Ever since I got a boyfriend and started having sex on a regular basis [me on top most of the time], my arms have gotten pretty buff, as have my thigh muscles.)

Now, the post-sex munchies might make you gain weight, though, since sex always seems to make you want a sandwich afterwards.

not when it is one of the categories of activity for FITDAY!!! (I put it in there too) I must have missed the one category on swinging from the chandraliers though.

This thread is just too funny! I was thinking that the only part of sex that would make you gain/stop the losing is getting pregnant, but now I'm wondering. I seem to have pretty much stopped losing the past few months since I started having sex regularly. Still not willing to give it up.
