Any answers, advice??? My husband thinks married people who have sex constantly tend to gain weight Link to comment
poetryandlyrics Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Actually, no. Sex tends to be one of the top exercise the body can do. Unless one is loading up on carbs to combat how much energy is lost, I guess. Link to comment
rahulrocks Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 It wouldn't...but if you eat mindlessly right after it then it would... Link to comment
greywolf Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 It doesn't make you gain weight unless you're using the whip cream all the time. Link to comment
piruru Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I don't think it's the sex that makes you gain weight. If anything, heaps of sex makes you lose more weight as it is a form of exercise. On the flip side, I've noticed that when I'm in a happy relationship, I tend to have more of an appetite and eat a lot more so that's what makes me gain weight. Maybe it's a similar thing for you?

duke nukem Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Something like 20 minutes of sex (not exactly sure the time, around that) 2 times a week throughout the year is the same as running 70 miles during the year. Lucky me that I enjoy running :stupid: Link to comment
doyathink Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 lol if that were true, Id be a whale from my last rship. Link to comment
sweetheart91 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Thanx for the answers! If it is a form of exercise I will be doing ALOT more LOL. I think I agree with you piruru. My appetite has picked up lately. Link to comment
HeroicFool Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Women often gain weight when they move in with a man. This is because men eat more (and require more calories in a day) than women, but when you eat meals together you end up eating the same things in comparable quantities. Link to comment
sweetheart91 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 True...We do eat our food together most times but I do have to admit that the variety of foods that he eats is different from how I was eating before we moved in together. Link to comment
EricaNicole Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm not sure why you'd immediately blame the sex. You're probably eating more and not realizing it. Maybe you don't feel like you're eating a larger quantity at every meal, but the foods you eat may contain more fat, calories, and carbs than you realize. Link to comment
shadowplay Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Like someone else said, sex is quite high on the list for activities that burn calories, so I think you need to look for an explanation elsewhere. Link to comment
