Well it does get your heart rate up
- ratsforhorses 5y agoSo does masturbation.... could it be the exchange of molecules, a touch of human warmth or that feeling of contentment/happiness which is more important?
- WesolyKubeczek 5y agoNot really, unless you both pile down on one another like logs and wait for an earthquake. Good sex with a person is quite a workout in comparison, maybe you should reevaluate your practices.
- penjelly 5y agowhat? all the parent said is masturbation increases heart rate as well, which is fact. He didnt say it increases heart rate to the same level as intercourse does. Personal attacks are also unnecessary, come on.
- yosito 5y agoAccording to my Garmin watch, sex with my girlfriend only gets my heart rate into the mid 90s, the same as a walk around the block. The significance of that data is up for interpretation, but I'm skeptical that sex is really a significant cardio activity.
- emrevarol 5y agoAccording to my Garmin watch, sex with my girlfriend gets my heart rate into mid 160s sometimes. I never get there by walking.
- persedes 5y agoI don't trust my garmins heart rate for anything beyond running. On my rowing machine it barely goes beyond 90 too, meanwhile I'm drenched in sweat. Must be something with the movement/positioning of the watch.
- penjelly 5y agoyeah, if you get the chance to be hooked up to a proper hr monitor while the watch is on youll notice its typically wrong. Still like having the tracking tho
- yosito 5y agoProbably depends on the watch and the fit.
- persedes 5y agofor what it's worth, my reading at my Drs office were in line with what my watch said and it's pretty good at tracking changes in intensity levels during a run workout.
- penjelly 5y agoi had the exact opposite experience at the doctors office. HR -20 from what the watch stated. but i use it everyday anyway
- gnabgib 5y agoAlmost all Garmins can be paired with chest-strap HR monitors (much more accurate than any watch) if you want to confirm it's the watch. It does sound like it's the watch!
- danbmil99 5y agoUm, it probably depends on how you do it.
- techdragon 5y agoI think this is probably true for more than just heart rate.
- blitzar 5y agoDepends if it is a quick 30 second lap of the block or a walking marathon around the block of manhattan.
- fendy3002 5y agoIf you want it to go up to 180 go have a sex with neighbors wife. Jokes aside, isn't 90s is good enough? What's your normal one and high one after exercise? I honestly never measure.
- yosito 5y ago50 - sleeping 60 - awake resting 90-110 - walking, carrying things 120 - light aerobic exercise 130-150+ - a good workout

- dotancohen 5y agoDoesn't seem to be controlled for the fact that more of their hours are spent having sex than their non-cheating counterparts.
- pennaMan 5y ago>sex with my girlfriend only gets my heart rate into the mid 90s Either you're an elite athlete with a low resting heart rate or your girlfriends heart rate gets signifincally higher than yours :)
- vidarh 5y agoOr it's simply different ideas about what sex should be like. My hear rate certainly goes far higher than 90s, but people like different speed and vigour...
- cafard 5y agoI remember from an old bad novel the assertion that a gentleman never wears a watch to bed. In this case, I think the notion was that it implied he didn't want to linger past the end of the cinq-a-sept. I'd be happy to tell you that I never wear a watch to bed, but that is in part because I don't have a watch.
- hashimotonomora 5y agoYou are extremely trained or she deserves much harder.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoOr he's bragging that she "does all the work".
- hashimotonomora 5y agoWho would brag about that.
- dotancohen 5y ago> According to my Garmin watch, sex with my girlfriend only gets my > heart rate into the mid 90s You might want to try emrevarol's girlfriend. His Garmin watch reports she's good for the 160s.
- elliekelly 5y agoWhen will we stop making “jokes” about women being objects to be passed around? Perhaps 2022 will be the year we grow up. I am hopeful.
- dotancohen 5y agoPerhaps nobody is joking about women being objects to be passed around. Perhaps we're no longer restrained by conventional ideas of institutionalized marriage and religion.
- tsol 5y agoWhat? Respecting people's wives is a religious thing? Her point is valid, it is crass. Some people may like crass jokes, but I don't understand when some people refuse to admit they're crass
- dotancohen 5y agoYou are correct, it was crass. In moderation, a crass joke can sometimes be in taste. Whether this one was or not is in the eye of the beholder. My contention was with the accusation that I had suggested "women being objects to be passed around". It seems to me that the GP could not fathom that a woman might have sex - or reject sex - by virtue of her own free will.
- WesolyKubeczek 5y agoIn the year twenty-five twenty-five, maybe. How did that song go? Maybe you are not aware, but women also joke around like that — about men. Everything is an object, everyone is an object, except at companies where you are a resource, just like a lump of coal or something.
- stared 5y agoCardio is one thing. But it also results in a release of hormones - giving a sense of connection, meaning and reducing stress. I don't have data, but I would bet $ that sex is much more beneficial for overall health & wellbeing than exercises resulting in a similar heart rate. Furthermore, sex is likely to indicate that someone has a loved one (connection, meaning, social life in general).
