Kevin Netto, director of research at Curtin University's School of Physiotherapy and Exercise Science, says sex is akin to moderate level exercise.
It causes heart rate rises, systolic blood pressure increases, diastolic blood pressure decreases and you sweat more.
"It's exactly the same benefits as doing a full body cardio work but the caveat being that you have to maintain it for long enough," A/Prof Netto says.
He says a French study found that the act of sex lasts for about 17 minutes on average "from whoa to go".
"For most people it's not long enough and it's not often enough," A/Prof Netto says.
"Everybody should exercise for about half an hour to an hour each day because we lead such sedentary lifestyles
but if sex counts towards incidental exercise then that's great."

"There's that understanding of ourselves as a sexual being who's able to satisfy our partner and is also able to derive pleasure ourselves," he says.
"Those feelings are likely to increase our sense of who we are and hence our self-esteem, and more broadly improve our mood or maybe just help maintain our elevated mood."
But, Mr Tilley cautions that any mood-boosting benefits of sex will only apply if it is a positive experience, otherwise the reserve is likely to be true.
My wife screams so loudly during sex that I had to ask the neighbor to close the window!!
I am not sure I would take sex advice from someone named :" Mr. Tilley"
Sounds like a snowflake.
Dr Netto recomends 17 1/2 minutes from whoa to go !
Any lovely Freeperettes need help with that, call me
Ha, That’s funny right there.
I thought of Tiller, rather than Tilley ~ no difference.

I try to abide by their advice.
However, I am not very good at sex but that is exactly why I have to practice, practice, practice! ;-)
Since health care is a right the gooberment needs to
start sending me girls and paying for them.
A woman was in bed having sex with her husband’s friend when the telephone rang.
After hanging up, she says, ‘’That was Harry, but don’t worry — he won’t be home for a while. He’s playing cards with you.’’
includin the jokes, this is gonna be interestin
I’m old, what is this word ‘sex’ you speak of?
You need an hour, sex counts as 17 minutes, that means you should have sex four times a day, every day, for maximum health benefits.
I’ve heard that it’s a good method for producing children also.
How do you get it to last for 17-1/2 minutes ??
Well, based on these criteria, I should have died of inactivity several years ago.
you have to slow down that 'Fast Moving Angel' on your left shoulder (sinistra)
and listen to that not so 'Fast Moving Angel' on your right shoulder (dextra).
The idea is that it should be mutually gratifying and satisfying to both of you ; and becomes a sign of mutual respect and intimacy,
so that both of you can build up self-esteem and self-worth, and mutual satisfaction.
If you find that difficult to do ,.. go take a cold shower and by the time you return, your companion will be more ' in the mood'.
Mutual satisfaction and intimacy is not : " Ram.. , Bam .. , Thank you Ma'm !!"
And I’m not sure I’d be happy about a guy with a stopwatch standing nearby.
What is this sex of which you speak?
