Losing weight through sex: the best positions for burning more calories

Lose weight through sex?

You can, and if you think the most acrobatic sex positions burn the most calories, you are very much mistaken!

Read on to discover the best ones for reaching an unforgettable orgasm!

Sex against stress, fatigue and excess weight
Covid, quarantine, red and yellow zones and the Green Pass left us a little worn down, especially psychologically but physically too. We gained weight and may not yet have fully recovered, giving in to big meals at home or snacks between meals, sometimes driven by emotional hunger.

Mentally, worries have overwhelmed us, bringing stress, anxiety, nervousness, frustration and anger, with very few opportunities to release them.

That is why now (and, I would say, always!) it is important to try to regain and maintain healthy physical fitness, which will also benefit mental health. And what could be better than sex?
 

The GolfSupport experiment: how to burn calories and experience sexual pleasure
Which sexual positions burn the most energy?

The answer comes from the team at GolfSupport.com which conducted an experiment involving 112 heterosexual couples who were asked to wear a Fitbit during sex.

The calorie figures represent those burned during 30 minutes in each sexual position, averaged across all men and women who took part in the survey.

Besides calories, GolfSupport asked women which of the positions tested they found most effective for reaching orgasm.
