In terms of burning calories, sex is not as good as jogging, but…how much fun is jogging?

When I saw this headline: “Sex is Good, not Great, Exercise: Study,” I laughed aloud.

Researchers determined (I’ll spare you the details of HOW) that men burn about 100 calories during sex, and women burn about 70, on average.

Comparatively, jogging for 30 minutes burns well over twice the calories for both men and women.

So in the calorie-burning category, sex is…not so great.

So if that’s the reason you were doing it, stop right now and lace up your running shoes.

But assuming it wasn’t, be glad you’re burning up that many calories doing something you probably enjoy a bit more than jogging.
