Does Having Frequent Sex Cause Weightloss?

hello I am 26. My height is 182 cm. I weigh 72 kg. My problem is that I lose a lot of weight after ejaculation, get very thin in my waist and get black curcles under my eyes. I know its normal to lose weight after having sex but I get so skinny and don t look fit. Can you help me? Kara.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Having sex is a physical activity very much like a cardio workout. It uses up to 300 kilocalories per session and is equivalent to a heavy workout. It does not cause significant weight loss else everyone in the world would have stayed thin that way. However, its true that sex requires stamina and I suggest you have sex when you are relaxed and have energy. If you like to have sex late in evening then you should take a small nap in the evening. This will relax your muscles and energize you. About an hour before sex please have a nutritious meal. This will give you stamina and you will not feel tired. Also try and remain stress free and have a slow and long foreplay with your partner leading to sex. Do not have rough sex which leaves you tired and without energy.
