does masturbating burn calories?

Clough

Hi, natalie1xxx!

If you're expending energy doing it, yes it does. Although, probably not very many calories.

Why do you want to know, please?

Thanks!

was just a general question but thanks

Medically, masturbation burns calories but what about the emotional stress. You do yourself no good by masturbating. Why not get married to a partner and enjoy God-approved sex?

Well, any physical exertion is going to burn some amount of calories.

Using the full body in various ways will no doubt get better results in burning up the calories.

Thanks!

Every single thing you do burns calories.
Laying down burns approx 90 calories per hour.
Sitting doing nothing burns approx 84 calories per hour
Walking burns approx 198 calories per hour
Scrubbing Floors 440 per hour

Sometimes I think scrubbing floors is a better choice than getting married.

God approved sex?

This isn't the religious forum, so please keep your beliefs to yourself.

Masturbating is a perfectly acceptable (to most people) means of pleasuring yourself and learning about your body. It's also a great alternative to actually having sex and risking pregnancy and disease.

As for the OP's question. Yes, you do burn calories, but not enough to consider it as a workout routine.

Or getting married to a man that will scrub your floors.

Just sayin.
