masterbation calories burn

blah blah blah yes everything burns calories, i'm fairly certain masturbating will burn more calories than sleeping, blinking, ect. all that stuff has been said a million times in this thread and i'd be beating a dead horse by reinforcing this information.  I'd just like to point out that some people (such as myself) can masturbate for much much MUCH longer periods of time than anyone has mentioned here in this thread.  Depending on how much time i think i have, if i'm in the mood, and as long as i'm not feeling lazy like i want to go do something else, i can go for 6 hours easy... 120 minutes can take a hike.  More recently i spent 8 hours (yeah i know, it may seem like i have no life but i dont masturbate often but when i do i make it worth my while).  THESE are the kind of numbers i want to know... i'd say thats at LEAST 100 calories, if its not...... i'll stop touching myself forever.

Sadly , you are wrong and your friends are right. Male masturbation uses a lot of energy.  Much more than females because of the content of the fluid ejaculated during orgasm. The ejaculatory fluid contains a large amount of glucose. Hence we feel slightly tired after an orgasm. And I have experienced this personally. Once i masturbated twice before hitting the gym and I could distinctly see that the weights seemed heavier and i felt tired before reaching my usual number of repetitions.
The glucose in the ejaculatory fluid is meant as food for the mini-me s ..:)...so they have a greater chance of staying alive in the vagina of any woman i care to impregnate.

The calories you burn or loose during masturbation are not only from muscle contractions, increased heart beat, high adrenaline surge, but also for the loss of the sperm and the need for the testicle to produce new ones. The entire  process requires the calories mentioned in the comments. 120 calories seems to be a logical number.

OOOOH but there is a hidden benifit not so easliy stood.

 

Body tempurature speeds up metabolism, hence masterbating 2hrs before or aftereating help with metabolizing food thermically.

Also you get up to or maintain target heart rate  for exercise by masterbating before or after. SO a person who masterbate just before exercise  and just after exercise will be able to extend ones pulse target .

You have a really good, and accurate argument, but one thing is wrong, 1lb of body fat is 350 calories. Also, yes. You can burn between 100-300 calories (between 1/2 and 1lb of fat) by doing a steady 25-45 minute masturbation cycle.

You must be slow and lazy to only burn 120 calories in 10 minutes on an elliptical. Cause I do about 230 calories or more in 10 min. on moderate setting.  and there has been factual data to prove that 5-8 minutes of beatin' meat can result in about 120 calories burnt.

Actually, keeping your body hot OR cold work well for assisting in weight loss, but being cold is actually MUCH better. . Being cold and drinking very cold water is best, because your body has to work overtime to maintain homeostasis. Your body always wants to maintain a temperature 98.6°F. If you are jogging on a very cold day, or constantly drinking Ice-cold water, then these things will naturally lower your body temperature. You're body will in turn begin burning more and more fuel in order to maintain a healthy 98.6°.It takes more energy to heat the body, than it does to cool it, as cooling can happen naturally without intervention of any type, whereas heating something requires the input of energy, i.e. calories. I understand that this might be counter-intuitive at first, as one would think that a warmer body temperature would burn more calories, but actually if you are running a fever or are overheated (which can be dangerous or even sometimes deadly) the last thing your body wants to do is starting releasing EVEN MORE heat energy by burning calores.



Wrapping yourself in a body wrap will indeed cause you to lose weight, but unfortunately this is all water-weight. A person is fully capable if losing several pounds per day in water weight, however the side effects can be worthless and actually cause lack of energy. A person is approx 70% water, so of a person weighing 200lbs 140Lbs of that person is H2O. Excessive loss in body fluid can lead to dehydration, as well can cause you to burn calories less quickly. Water is required for most human biological functions to work properly, so if you lose too much water, you are unable to burn as many calories due to the inefficiency of your bodily processes. Another downside to losing water weight, is the loss of electrolytes, particularly sodium,



The cells in your body rely on whats called the sodium-potassium pump to create energy. This energy is electrical energy, meaning that most every cell in your body acts as a tiny little battery. Through a system of Active Transport a phospholipid bilayer, adenosine triphosphate (ADP), Na+ and K+ all work together to create a chemical battery in which electrical energy is supplied to your cells, as well as fulfilling many other bodily functions. But I guess what I am trying to get at is this:

Losing water weight is a short term fix. Your body will be unable to burn calories as effectively, and if you lose water weight by sweating you will also lose electrolytes. This is normally replaced by things like Gatorade, which defeats the purpose of sweating fluid out of you. I hold to what I was saying earlier. If you really want to lose weight, go for a nice run when it as chilly outside. Don't be dumb and freeze to death, but the cooler the better. Also, always drink ICE-COLD water as this makes your body work harder to re-warm itself, even if it is just a couple calories per drink. The REAL secret to weight loss, simply put, is you need to take in a net loss of calories over an extended period of time. Its easy to calculate on a daily basis, but your metabolism does not reset each day so this has to be a continuing net calorie deficiency. Most averagely active people supposedly burn approximately 2000 calories every 24 hours. That's just doing your normal day to day activities. Approximately 3500 calories must be consumed to lose 1 pound of fat. So if you can simply reduce your calorie intake by 500 calories per day (assuming that is that your calorie intake and metabolic consumption are in equilibrium and your weight is holding steady) you can lose 1 poind each week simply by eating ¼ less calories. If you add exercise to that, and can burn an extra 500 each day as well and reduce your calorie intake by the same amount you can lose around 2 lbs per week. These numbers are for average humans. So if you are already significantly overweight, but are no longer gaining, you can achieve these results, with less exercise, as the additional body weight required extra energy to exercise. This means that while running on a treadmill for 15 min might burn 100 calories for a smaller person, a larger person might burn 175 calories due to the extra effort involved. Its good to watch fat, and carbs, and cholesterol, and sugars, and breads, and starches and yada yada yada, but the REAL secret is watching your calories. Get a journal, and go a week or two without dieting, and at the end of each day log everything you have eaten to get an idea how many calories you consume, in that journal list the significant activities you do, including sitting, standing, walking, lifting,... anything really. There are charts telling you how many calories these activities you burn. With this data you can determine your calorie input and output. If the two numbers are about the same, which they should be if you are currently holding steady at one weight, then begin your diet. Each day keep track of the foods you eat and be sure to take in at least 300-500 few calories each day, and exercise, to burn even more of the calories you have taken in. You're goal should be 500-1000 calories excluded from your diet and or burned off each day. This should lose about 2 pounds a week, or about 8-10 lbs per month. It seems slow but just think. In 6 months you can go from 200 LBS to 150-140 LBS. And 6 months isn't long compared to the possible years of healthy life you will gain.



One last thing. Even though calories is more important when it comes to weight loss, you should still be mindful of excessive fat, especially Trans Fat and cholesterol and all those other yucky things. If you weight 130 lbs, which is an okay weight for a short dude like me, and you burn 3000 calories a day, but you eat 3000 calories worth if greasy cheeseburgers you might not gain weight, but skinny people can clog their arteries and have heart disease just like overweight people.

Hope you washed your hands before going to the gym.

The point is you lose cals.

Lol... Thqats hot(; Maybe you can do that to me. Use a condom.. I don't want couch coushin aids(:

Lol... Thats hot;-)  Maybe you can do that to me. Use a condom.. I don't want couch coushin aidso.O:-D;-)

you may only be using an arm but every muscle in your body is tightening up which increases the calorie burn. and when you climax all your muscles tighten for a duration that is the same a doing one 10 rep set on every muscle group. That is around 100-200 for a ten minute wacky do.

calories are a measurement of energy, really. technically, Calories are what you see on nutritional facts and hear about burning, which are 1000 calories. your body uses energy to do EVERYTHING. breathing results from muscle contractions forcing air into your lungs, your heart beat is caused by a contraction of many muscles in the heart, and of course movement, repair, digestion, etc etc. everything requires energy. that's why anorexics lose weight instead of stay steady.

off the top of my head without going into EXTREME detail, masturbation uses the following muscles directly...

forearm (controls fingers, thus, grip), biceps/triceps (controls up down movement of forearm), shoulders (controls rotation/movement of entire arm)

by directly i mean you INTEND for these things to happen. it could also use your pecks, abs, traps for holding your upper body rigid (which we tend to do heh) and quads/calves should you be so pro it feels good enough for your legs to quake lol. obviously more would be used like back etc. the intensity used is, as mentioned elsewhere, dependant upon the variables.

but those specific muscles aside, your heart will pump faster which is great cardio it's good for your heart/arteries and burns more calories than a resting heart, breathing hard is your diaphragm for working harder, the energy required to deliver sperm into the semen and ejaculate and reproduce the semen...

it takes a f@#$^&* lot out of you. it requires ENORMOUS amounts of energy. a Calorie is a big unit. a pound of body fat [for storage] is 3500 Calories... that's a lot.

if you want to lose weight.... don't. get healthy not thin. eat right, stay in shape, exercise, and have FUN. don't make your life obsessing over the next 3 pounds. take personal care of you and the way you look. shave, get a haircut, use cologne, but don't worry about your body.

be happy now, rather than waiting for later.

indeed. lol i think i'm in love with you!

Calories are acctually a measurement of heat

@Kay81: heat is energy. A calorie is defined as the amount of heat (energy) required to raise a gram of water 1 degree C

ok since we "R" on this subject, how about a 10 min blow jobs...how many calaries are burnt, by either par:-) tner
