How We Calculate Calories Burned for Sexual Activity in Seattle
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Seattle:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 1.8 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.03
The MET value of 1.8 for sexual activity is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.03 accounts for Seattle's average temperature of 47°F. 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. While not a replacement for structured exercise, sexual activity contributes to overall physical activity levels and provides additional benefits including stress reduction, improved sleep, and cardiovascular health.
