These results could suggest that men and women present different patterns of energy expenditure during sexual activity across time.
When statistically controlling for BMI, significant differences in absolute and relative energy expenditure during sexual activity between men and women persisted.
Free living energy expenditure during sexual activity and the endurance exercise was measured using the portable mini SenseWear armband.
The present study indicates that energy expenditure during sexual activity appears to be approximately 85 kcal or 3.6 kcal / min and seems to be performed at a moderate intensity in young healthy men and women.
Finally, perceived energy expenditure during sexual activity was similar in men (100 kCal) and in women (76.2 kCal) when compared to measured energy expenditure.
Interestingly, the highest range value achieved by men for absolute energy expenditure during sexual activity can potentially be higher than that of the mean absolute energy expenditure of the 30 min exercise session (i.e. 306 vs. 276 kcal, respectively), whereas this was not observed in women.
Results of the present study show that mean energy expenditure during sexual activity was 101 kcal or 4.2 kcal / min in men and 69 kcal or 3.1 kcal / min in women.

Not exact matches
It should be noted that mean energy expenditure and intensity were measured during the four different sessions of sexual activity.
No differences in age, perceived energy expenditure, intensity during sexual activity and intensity during the treadmill exercise were observed between men and women (Table 1).
Both energy expenditure and intensity were significantly higher during the 30 min exercise session than the sexual activity.
In addition, no differences in percentage (absolute and relative) of the energy expenditure and intensity during sexual activity compared to that of the treadmill exercise were observed between men and women (Table 1).
Results show that absolute and relative energy expenditure as well as intensity during sexual activity represented ~ 38 %, 47 % and 71 % of the energy expenditure (absolute and relative) and intensity of the treadmill exercise, respectively.
