[Private Research Institute] 8 ways to have sex that help burn calories
French kissing, snuggling up to your partner, and even more intimate behaviors can all help sweeten the relationship between lovers. In addition to the psychological benefits these intimate activities bring to us, there is no loss in physical aspects. This "feeling of love" not only speeds up our heart rate, it also helps burn calories!
According to Jaiya Kinzbach, a sexologist in Los Angeles and author of Red Hot Touch, the study was based on women weighing 68 kg. This analysis points out the calories consumed by 8 sexual activities. Without further ado, let’s check it out!
Kissing: 68 calories burned per hour
Not only is kissing your partner a direct way to express your love, it can also help you burn fat. "If someone enjoys more intense kissing and touches their partner at the same time, they can burn nearly 90 calories per hour," says Jaiya Kinzbach.
She suggests that friends who want to lose fat can try kissing their partner in a more unusual position, which can turn romantic kissing into an exercise for couples. For example, by kissing your partner downwards while lying on your stomach, then pushing back up, you can burn 171 calories every half hour.
Taking off clothes: burns 8+ calories
Few people may pay much attention to the process of taking off clothes, but Italian researchers investigated this inconspicuous behavior and found that the process of taking off a piece of clothing consumes about 8-10 calories.
One man even took the challenge of taking off his partner's bra with his mouth, which burned up to 80 more calories. The results were even more impressive. No wonder the process of taking off clothes is so rough every time!
Massage: burns 80+ calories per hour
Do you like having your partner appreciate your massage gestures? In addition to feeling happy about being appreciated, your body actually gets additional benefits from it. It's been proven that giving someone a massage increases your heart rate, which puts your body into calorie-burning mode.
But please note that the massage speed will affect the consumption effect. If we want to improve the effectiveness of cellulite reduction, we should slow down the speed of massaging our partner. While this may seem counterintuitive to the nature of cellulite, a slower massage will not only make your partner feel more comfortable, but it will also make a difference. If possible, a standing massage can help you burn more calories.
Sex: 144+ calories burned every half hour
If our body warms up and sex lasts longer, we can burn more calories. Experts even say that moaning more and trying to change positions can burn an additional 18-30 calories.
If you're on top of your boyfriend, try moving your hips like a belly dancer. It'll feel great. Another position you can try is where you squat on top of your guy while he's lying on the bed and bounce up and down. This helps make your thigh and butt muscles stronger and can burn up to 207 calories every half hour.
On top of that, experts have found that women who orgasm during sex burn more calories than women who don't.
Oral sex: burns 100 calories every half hour
Statistics show that 30 minutes of oral sex on your partner is equivalent to 35 minutes of walking, 15 minutes on the rowing machine, or 20 minutes of yoga. But if you want to take your weight loss to the next level, Kinzbach recommends a calorie-busting technique: perform push-ups while having oral sex. With such intense exercise, it is difficult not to lose weight.
Using your hands: 100 calories burned per hour
Massaging your partner's private parts with your hands is a great way to burn calories. But you can actually kick it up a notch and burn an extra 50 calories every half hour. That is, you can use other parts of your body as assistance to provide a special massage experience for your lover's private parts. It also helps to change the pressure and heart rate when your body is shaking.
Romantic dance: burns 103 calories every half hour
Couples dance. Such an emotional and romantic activity has the benefit of burning calories. If you add kissing, touching, etc. to the dance, it will also speed up the pace of fat loss! Furthermore, scientific research has found that women’s sexual desire is more easily aroused after engaging in aerobic exercise.
Flirting: 238 calories burned every half hour
When you're anticipating your lover's next move, your heart rate keeps rising at the same time. The combination of nervous anticipation and heavy breathing can burn calories quickly.
You can also try rolling on the bed while flirting! Mix in your playful, sexual preludes and this activity is a great combination for calorie burning .
