Sexual intercourse burns calories, raises the heart rate and rarely causes cardiac arrest
Curious scientists have wondered, too. Sexual activity is a popular and pleasing way to spend 32.38 minutes . But is it physically intense or leisurely? Can it burn as many calories as jogging, or is it more like a mild stroll? Does it spike heart rates? Can it initiate heart attacks? And what if you have a big competition tomorrow? Should you remain chaste tonight?
Most obviously, sexual relations sped up the heart and burned through energy. In the studies in which people wore trackers, heart rates averaged between 90 and 130 beats per minute and peaked at anywhere from 145 to 170 bpm. Women’s heart rates tended to be lower than men’s. As for the length of the sexual episodes, they likewise varied. In young, healthy couples in one study, sex lasted for an average of 32.38 minutes, while it continued for only about 19 minutes in another study among couples with health conditions, such as heart disease.
