How good an exercise is masturbation?

OK time for a Friday question.
How effective in an exercise regime would be masturbation?
Would it be more effective for women or men? D
oes it use up more energy than walking or running?
How many reps are necessary to get the full benifit?

Moved to MPSIMS. Took longer than I had hoped, as I can’t type well with my left hand.

It has to be pretty lousy. After all, I’;m not in great shape, and I’ve put in a lot of time.

My right forearm looks like Popeye’s, but I think it also gave me carpal tunnel syndrome.

As with all pumping iron, everyone else appreciates it if you’d wipe up your bodily fluids with a towel after your done.

…and Good Luck finding a personal trainer too. :smiley:

**How effective in an exercise regime would be masturbation? **
Probably pretty good if you are having a personal marathon, you know, three times back to back.

**Would it be more effective for women or men? **
Well, I have seen women masturbate. They use much more energy than men.

**Does it use up more energy than walking or running? **
What kind of masturbating and/or running and walking are you doing?

How many reps are necessary to get the full benifit?
Well, by benefit if you mean the same gratification from a 30 minute workout, it only takes about 13 reps. If by benefit you mean calories burned, I would say about 100,000! That’s my WAG.

Though I understand the forum change, I am interested in any real citable studies done in medical literature.

While the denizens of MPSIMS are a motley crew, it doesn’t mean they’re all fluff. I’ve actually seen a factual answer, with cites, here.

According to this website, the average male ejaculation is 1 tablespoon full, containing 15 calories per tablespoon. Thus you would expend at least 15 calories “eliminating” it from you, plus how ever much energy it took to get it out… and I guess that depends on quite a few different things…

Not as much than if you did it WHILE walking or running.

Awwwwwwwww! Thanks, samclem. We love you, too!

I never looked at it as losing 15 calories, I always looked at it as helping my ladyfriends diet by only giving her a low calorie diet.

It’s supposed to be good for hair and skin too… :eek:

Shouldn’t that be regimen? Or have the masturbators taken over the government? Come to think of it, that would explain a lot of things…

Cites, sites, no sites, nor Cites at least it got to the right forum!

Cite?

:smiley:

True, but after a few reps wouldn’t the serving size be reduced for most men?

Does having an orgasm (and all the chemical do-dars involved) use up much energy?

I just want to know what sick bastard feeds his girl this stuff by the spoon.
