stolen from cocktalk, sorry.

A US calorie conting website which gives you estimates for numbers of calories burned in an hour doing various activities including:

Sexual activity (vigorous effort)  a measly 102 calories http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/activity/368.html

Now, according to this site that's the same number as sitting in church (attending a ceremony) or
eating in church, and is less than hairstyling, which burns 170 calories per hour

Now, my hairstyle's none too flash, but I can't help thinking someone's got their maths wrong here..?

The sport abseilers amongst you will be delighted to learn that rappelling burns a more than respectable 544 cals p/h, that's more than 5 times as much as 'vigorous' sexual activity, and actually ascending rock burns a mighty 740.

Why would abseiling take up this many calories

Do you think its because of this?

I wonder, if I eat 25.7 carrots before i go climbing, will I last another hour?

Well now - a real abseiler, ie:  one who abseils for a living, such as myself, JB, and everyone else and their dog, often has to do many many meters of jumaring often over many ropes tied together in order to be in a position to abseil.

(Unless you are a smart-ass, like me, and sometimes use a two-stroke engined rope-ascender.  I love these.)

That's why.

Then that would be called JUMARING then smart arse

Dylan - that's the nicest thing anyone's said about my arse.


How many calories would a sound rimming burn?

[superfurrymonkey]

would that be vigorous, moderate or gentle rimming?

I'm unsure myself.  What do you normally find yourself asking for?   



One-armers are so 1980's!  Cunnilingus has been part of my training regime for years.   I've become so strong, I can do push-ups with my tongue.

Well as I`m carrying far too much weight at the moment I`d have to go for with a vigorous rimming for at least 5 hours to meet my calorie burning targets!
