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."

I don’t know but 17 1/2 minutes sounds like a worthwhile goal to aim for - I wouldn’t know but sounds like a good idea.
Have it 8 times in a row?
I need to show my husband this article ;)
More sex? Outstanding. Send me some.
My wife took the Fascinating Womanhood course and started making a lot of moaning and groaning during sex. I told her to shut up — I couldn’t hear the TV.
Thread winner!!! LOL
Dunno ... something I heard discussed in a bar somewhere ...

This reminds me of the math professor whose wife told him, “Give me 12 inches and some pain!”. So he gave her 3 inches 4 times and hit her on the head with a hammer...
