You gain weight
Having sex is the best way to get in your cardio without feeling the torture of the burn running on the treadmill or going to a spin class tends to give us. You might not realize just how many calories you’re burning in between the sheets, but you might notice after the sex has stopped. Woman’s Day published the average number of calories people will burn during some basic foreplay, and the numbers are pretty shocking. Participating in some light kissing only burns about 68 calories per hour, but turn up the heat a bit and you can burn around 476 calories making out in the same amount of time. Why such a big difference? Apparently the anticipation of these kisses leading to more than just heavy petting causes us to breathe heavier, resulting in more calories burned!
