Hey, I'm a 20-some male frequenter of this board and I masturbate usually every day I'm not in very good shape; i've been gradually improving over the last year and a half, but my question is: is intense, sustained masturbation a decent aerobic workout?

The reason I ask is, sometimes when I jerk it and I've really got nothing better to do, I'll go full throttle for 45min or more... I almost went for two hours the other day. When I finish, a lot of times I am completely drenched in sweat and my heart is racing.

Of course I'm not advocating this replace any kind of actual aerobic fitness like running or jump-rope or playing Ultimate, but I sweat more after a power hour than doing any of those other things. I can also say with confidence that there's more aerobic value than muscle-building in this exercise of sorts.

Thanks

I dont think its the best exercise, but it cant hurt (lthough two hours sounds quite extreme)

45 minutes at full throttle? Good luck getting off with another person.

My right arm is way bigger than my left one, if that says anything about its aerobic abilities....

I suppose it depends on what kind of sandwich you eat afterward.

Thanks for your concern! Everything seems to work all right in that department.

Um, it looks like not much. According to the Lose It! app for my iPhone, 1 hour of vigorous sexual activity - vigorous - the highest of the 3 activity levels it gives to choose from - burns... wait for it.... 51 calories.

I don't know where they get it. Frankly, it seems a bit off. :P

I call Bullshit on your iApp Chumley. That level of calorie burn is equivalent of sitting on the couch! If you're having sex for a hour at a vigorous pace a) go you! and b) you're burning more than 51 calories.

Maybe you'd only burn 51 calories if you are the partner on the bottom? I'd buy that there were times when my wife burned 51 calories while I burned 250.
