Can couples lose weight through frequent sexual activity? Couples should also be cautious of the three major hazards of frequent sexual activity

Although sex can really make people sweat profusely, do you think it will consume your calories and make you lose weight when it makes you sweat?

Frequent sexual activity and weight loss are fallacies

When people have sex, all systems and organs of the body will have certain physiological and psychological reactions, such as faster heartbeat and respiration, higher blood pressure, etc. During Orgasm, the number of heartbeats per minute can increase to 110~180 times/minute, the number of breaths can increase to 40 times/minute, and the blood pressure can increase to 180/110 Millimetre of mercury (24/14.7 kPa). Based on this, some people have believed in recent years that having sex will consume a large amount of heat energy, thereby achieving the goal of weight loss.

There are even some people in foreign countries who have made a list of the energy consumption of various sexual activities: 12 kilocalories for taking off clothes, 8 kilocalories for taking off underwear, 3 kilocalories for foreplay, 112 kilocalories for Orgasm, and 12 to 36 kilocalories for consumption after Orgasm. All these data seem to make people believe in this type of sexual weight loss technique.

However, according to recent sexual research reports, although physiological changes such as faster heartbeat, breathing, and increased blood pressure during sexual activity resemble heavy physical labor, these physiological changes are mainly psychological effects during sexual activity, which does not prove that there is indeed a large amount of energy consumption at this time.

A researcher published research results on the Russian website "Sex and Sexual Health" and pointed out that losing weight by sex is a misunderstanding of people's understanding of sex and weight loss today, because people do not consume much energy when having sex. One time of sex only consumes about 250 calories, including only 400 calories for Orgasm. In this way, if one wants to lose weight through sexual activity, it is difficult for people to burn enough calories only by having sex for a few hours or even longer.

What are the harms of frequent sexual activity

1、 Poor physical condition

For both men and women, it can cause significant physical exertion, and over time, it will inevitably lead to a lower physical condition. Immediately, it will also affect the mental state, and even the ability to think, remember, and analyze will deteriorate.

2、 Sexual organ fatigue

Because of the continuous and repeated occurrence of Libido, both men and women will increase the burden of the sexual control nerve center and sexual organs. Frequent fatigue results in the reversal of things when they reach the extreme, which will lead to the decline of sexual function, leading to "premature aging" of sexual function.
