Is Masturbation Helpful for Weight Loss?

I’ve never come across a trustworthy calculation of the number of calories burned during intercourse, much less masturbation. We don’t have enough information on the average length of masturbation to compare it with sexual activity, and some researchers have estimated it using heart rate and other comparable measures, but these estimates don’t always match up with actual caloric expenditure. According to Prause, sexual stimulation does, however, inhibit the “hunger” hormone ghrelin, which could result in a reduction in appetite. To determine whether this offers a legitimate strategy for using masturbation as a weight-management technique, more investigation is required.
