Sex against stress, fatigue, and extra pounds
Covid, quarantine, red and yellow zones, Green Pass, have somewhat debilitated us. Especially psychologically, but also physically. We have gained weight, and perhaps we haven't fully recovered yet, indulging in large meals in the kitchen, or in snacks between meals, even due to nervous hunger.
Mentally, worries have overwhelmed us, bringing stress, anxiety, nervousness, a sense of frustration, anger, with very few opportunities to let it go.
That's why, now (but I would say always!) it's important to try to regain and maintain a healthy physical shape, which will also benefit mental health. And what better way than having sex?
The GolfSupport experiment: how to lose calories and achieve sexual pleasure
What are the sexual positions that burn the most energy?
The answer comes from the team at GolfSupport.com who conducted an experiment involving 112 heterosexual couples, asking them to wear a Fitbit during sexual activity.
The number of calories recorded are those lost in 30 minutes spent in each sexual position and is the average calculated on all the men and women who took part in the survey.
In addition to calories, GolfSupport asked women which position was most effective for them to have an orgasm among those tested.
