It’s common sense that the longer the session, the more calories burned. Undressing, if done properly burns roughly 8 calories. Probably didn’t think about that one now did you?

If you up the energy you put into undressing your partner, you can get in some extra calories.

If you really want to get a sizzling foreplay session on you can burn up to 238 calories per half-hour making out. Kissing is a calorie blaster which is something you might have already known.
