    yep, calories get burned off 24/7; even when sleeping. The number that get used up depend on the level of activity. For example masturbating whiel lying in your bed burns far fewer than masturbating while bicycling at 30 mph along the highway.

    If you are concerned with losing weight or trying to avoid putting on weight, then you do need to be concerned with not consuming more calories than you burn off (or conversely making sure you burn off at least the number of calories you consume). However, masturbation by itself is not going to do it for you unless you eat so little it would barely keep a chicken alive. Thus you need to combine regular masturbation with other forms of exercise as well as controlling your calorie intake. Just remember that masturbation and operation of a vehicle, heavy machinery or power tools can be dangerous so better to masturbate before rather than during any of those.

    1) Yes, you burn calories while masturbating. How many you burn depends on how long you go. It could be as few as 20 or 30 or as many as 300 or 400, depending on how much time you spend. 2) We burn calories simply *existing* until we're dead because we're warm-blooded creatures and must maintain a steady body temperature.

    Of course. Everything you do, you burn calories. Masturbating is a good way to do that. You should burn about 20 calories evrytime you do. Good luck wacking the monkey!

    In the absence of real sex, masturbation feels good and can burn a small number of calories, but do not rely upon it for weight loss!

    i would say that it does just because something as simple as talking or typing burns calories so using your arm muscles would definitely burn calories. good luck with that :)

    It burns calories, all sex does - but not all that much. Don't depend on it for weight loss.
