The latest study has dispelled previous held notions about sèxual activity in relation to exercise. Burning love apparently does not equate to burning fat. A new study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham says the average sèx act burns only about 21 calories.
The study, published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, contradicts many long-standing claims that sèxual activity is a vigorous, fat-burning workout. Funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, the study results found that “false and scientifically unsupported beliefs about obesity are pervasive in both scientific literature and the popular press.”
