Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Sexual activity provides light to moderate physical exercise depending on duration and intensity. Research from the University of Montreal found that the average sexual encounter lasts about 25 minutes and burns approximately 85 calories for men and 69 calories for women. Heart rate during sexual activity typically reaches 70-80% of maximum, comparable to moderate-intensity exercise.
