Men burn more calories than women during sex — and there’s a simple reason why
NY Post
Men are getting more out of the bedroom than previously thought.
In addition to the “orgasm gap,” they burn more calories during sex, too.
Previous research has shown that men, on average, burn approximately 101 calories while getting frisky, while women typically only burn around 69.
But professor Leah Millheiser, a Stanford Health sex expert, told Everyday Health that this is because those who take the “active role” during intercourse will burn more calories.
That being said, women could burn more if “they are on top,” she added.
“There’s variation, of course, between a five-minute quickie and vigorous, athletic sex that lasts for hours,” sex expert and podcast host Emily Morse previously told The Post.

The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
