Have a look at this [calorie burning calculator](http://html.nbc4.com/sh/idi/health/calcs/fatburnercalc.html) provided by NBC 4, whose drop-down menu includes kissing among several dozen other activities more readily identified with exercise.

[Here](http://ridotsurvey.com/webthing/bbstuff/Caloriessex.php) [are](http://members.iweb.net.au/~jspry/passiton.html) a couple interesting pages.

[This](http://www.msnbc.com/modules/quizzes/caloriecalc.asp) is probably a more legitimate source, though.

Not as big a return in the calorie burn department as I would have thought. Of course, who gives a shit!
