Sex against stress, fatigue, and extra pounds
Covid, quarantine, red and yellow zones, Green Pass, have worn us down a bit. Especially psychologically, but also physically. We've put on weight, and maybe we haven't fully recovered yet, indulging in big meals in the kitchen or snacking between meals, even out of nervous hunger.
Mentally, worries have overwhelmed us, bringing stress, anxiety, nervousness, frustration, anger, with very few opportunities to get rid of them.
That's why now (but I'd say always!) it's important to try to regain and maintain a healthy level of physical fitness, which will also benefit mental health. And what better way than having sex?
The GolfSupport experiment: how to lose calories and achieve sexual pleasure
Which sexual positions burn the most energy?
The answer comes from the team at GolfSupport.com, who conducted an experiment involving 112 heterosexual couples, asking them to wear a Fitbit during sex.
The number of calories recorded are those lost in 30 minutes spent in each sexual position, and it's the average calculated for all the men and women who took part in the survey.
In addition to calories, GolfSupport asked women which position was most effective for them to have an orgasm among those tested.
