Depends on how vigorous the "workout" is. However, I find that sex isn't enough exercise for me to slack on my regular routine. It will burn some calories, but you aren't going to see major or even noticeable results. Plus, it's not a healthy source for exercise. I mean, if you couple sex with other activity maybe, but it won't replace your body's need for daily exercise.

It's great for a few calories burned, but mostly it's just a fun time in the sack.

However, if you're doing acrobatic things and poses for a few hours a day, well then that could probably replace a regular exercise routine.

In my case, hell yeah! lol. When we actually get to have sex, you can bet your ass its a workout. With so many kids in and out of the house, and my two baseball leagues, its hard to have any privacy haha

Most experts say it does, especially if you make it last.

All activity is helpful and sex is more useful than most - especially for your mental health.

I would say yes if it lasts more than 5 min

Unless you're doing Tantric poses and such, I doubt it's vigorous enough to count as exercise.

it all depends on how you do it. I get a good work out most of the time.

I'd say it counts as exercise activity, but not as a "workout". Kind of like vacuuming... only much more fun.

LOL! I Wish! Well... I think is does a little. It is for sure better and more fun then sitting in front of a tv playing x-box for 15 hours a day! Its good for you mentally and physically in a lot of other ways though. And yes it does bun a few calories and can tone a few muscles. Look at it this way - it can motivate you to work your ass off so you look good naked and can get in all those super kinky positions that require strength and stamina to pull off!

everything counts as exercise, the question is how hard and long it is. banging one's head against the wall for an hour burns 150 calories. probably not the best type of banging for... well anything really.

for a 150 pound person, 1 hour of sex burns 288 calories, although this probably has a lot of variables. 60 minutes of walking 2 MPH in contrast burns 189. so sex probably isn't the best exercise, a good elliptical can burn about 1100 in an hour, it's not the worst either. calculations found here link
