The sex positions that burn the most calories
Calories burned per 30 minutes:

The butter churner
For those brave enough to try it, the butter churner, also known as the squat thruster, involves the woman lying on her back with her legs raised above and behind her head with the man penetrating from above. This position comes first on our list, burning the most calories for men at 211 for every half hour of sex, or 7 calories every minute.

198
Standing
Behind the butter churner, burning 198 calories every 30 minutes, or 6.6 for every minute of sex, is the standing position. However, according to previous research, this position results in one of the lowest rates of orgasms for women at only 17%.

Doggy style
Completing the top three positions is doggy style, with 182 calories burned for men, which makes 6.1 per minute. According to previous research, doggy style is the position that makes the most women orgasm, at 79%!

How weight impacts your sex life
Unless you’ve been hitting the gym hard, nobody likes looking down at the scales to see that they’ve piled on the pounds. Weight gain can create psychological as well as physiological changes, both of which should be taken seriously. Weight gain has been known to decrease energy and self-confidence, as well as lower testosterone. All of these factors can contribute to erectile dysfunction and decreased libido.
