JAKARTA - Making love is not only about pleasure, but also a physical activity that burns many calories. According to the NowPatient health platform, through their innovation as a sexercise Calculator, each sex position turns out to have different calorie calculations. However, there is an important note.
"Make sure you eat and drink enough, because to really benefit from sex, target a duration of at least 30 minutes," said Emma Hewitt, certified sex educator, quoted from the New York Post page.
The problem is, a study shows that the average heterosexual sex activity only lasts about five and a half minutes. So, if you want to really burn calories, you need to surpass the quickie (light sex).
1. Butter Churner
The position of butterferner or squat thruster ranks first on the list. One partner lies in a position like a yoga stand shoulder (lifting his hips and feet), while his partner squats above and penetrates from above.
For men who penetrate, this position burns about 211 calories in 30 minutes. While women also remain active, moving the muscles of the stomach, shoulders, and back. The estimate is that women can burn calories of about 106 calories in half an hour. In addition to being effective in burning calories, there is an additional bonus.
"This position is extraordinary for internal penetration, as well as the stimulation of G-Spot or P-Spot," explained Julieta Chiaramonte, kink instructor and sex expert, to Men's Health.
However, this position is not for everyone.
"If you're not flexible enough, don't have enough body strength, or aren't comfortable being almost upside down, then butter moodner is not the best choice," he added.
2. Stand up
The standing sex position is in second place. In 30 minutes, this position burned 198 calories for men and 145 calories for women.
The challenges are on the core strength, balance, and upper arms and body energy, especially for people who have to lift their partner.
However, in terms of women's satisfaction, this position may not be optimal. A study shows only 17% of women reach orgasm during sex standing.

3. Doggy Style
This popular classic position is also effective in burning calories. Men who penetrate can burn about 182 calories, while women are about 103 calories in 30 minutes. In addition to training glute muscles and thighs for women, men can also increase the intensity of cardio by accelerating rhythm.
The good news is that this position also satisfies women very much. Research shows that 79% of women are easier to reach orgasm with a doggy style style.
4. Kuneling Wheelbarrow
In this position, one of the partners rested with his hands on the floor, while his partner lifted his hips from behind. As a result, this position involves arm strength, core muscles, and balance.
The sexercise regulator estimates that men can burn around 167 calories, while women are around 149 calories in half an hour.
5. Lotus
This romantic and intimate position makes one of the couples sit sneezing, then the partner sits on his lap. Although it looks more relaxed, the position of the lotus still helps train the muscles of the stomach, thighs and hips, with an average of 148 calories burned in 30 minutes.
