I think it’s fair to say that even the most ardent of gym bunnies has those days when they’re just not feeling it, but for the rest of us heading to the gym is more a case of necessity rather than pleasure and if there was a way to keep off the pounds and not starve then we would probably do that.

This is the route favoured by Australian journalist Rutesha M.K. who decided that the expense of her gym membership (£40 a month) wasn’t worth the benefits she was receiving and decided to pack it in to have sex with her partner twice a day instead. She also hated working out in public alongside super skinny women whilst loud music blared out, which I’m sure is probably something we can all relate to as well.

Incredibly, Rutesha found that her new regime actually worked. She estimated that she burned about 150 calories for every 30 minutes of sex she enjoyed with her partner and reckoned that she became way more toned as a result of it as well

Both of us couldn’t stop giggling and we had a lot of fun doing it.

That night was also the most peaceful night of sleep I’d had in a while. The serotonin really did its job.

By the end of the process, I felt a lot more toned and happy, but it did have its drawbacks.

It’s a bit of a double-edged sword really.

If you don’t orgasm, you might be left frustrated. And if you do (like more than twice or thrice a day), you are exhausted.

Additionally, the thrill and allure of having an orgasm reduces because you just have them too often and don’t look forward to them like before.

I mean some people just can’t be satisfied can they? Always complaining.

I suppose the ideal situation here is to cut back on your gym membership and go less, and have sex on the days that you don’t go so that it balances itself out and you get the best of both worlds. This is probably too much like a real life ‘normal routine’ though so I doubt that Rutesha is gonna be that interested in it as you know, she seems like she’s all kinds of alternative or whatever. Hope she finds happiness eventually.
