Im 14 and Im fat and overweight. I masturbate frequently and I feel like I acutally get a workout. I masturbate for maybe 20 minutes and I start getting sweaty and red. Am I losing weight.. Is this an okay way to lose weight.???

Answer:

~Yes, but I wouldn't think it would burn that many. If you want to lose weight, walk everyday for 30 minutes, then increase it when you can. Walking is better than jogging if your overweight, and even if you aren't. Unless you want to be a health nut. It's also harder on your joints.

Do you think that you're getting red in the face and sweaty because you're holding your breath a lot when you masturbate? You really aren't burning a significant amount of calories doing that.~

you won't lose weight like you're thinking. have your parents make an appointment with your doctor for a check up and nutritional counseling. eat in moderation and get lots of exercise.

masturbate often -it's safe, healthy, and fun.

Sure, it's burning calories. But not enough to make you lose weight by itself.

Yeah, you lose calories, but you wont lose weight like crazy, it helps but dont rely on it alone, ya know?

Every activity you engage in - breathing, walking, sleeping, even breathing and chewing burns calories.Masturbation would be no different. If you are looking at this as a weight loss strategy, however, there are far more effective methods. That said, any activity that causes an increase in respiration and heartbeat is better than passive activities like watching television in terms of burning calories.
