Masturbation, while being a natural and common activity, does not significantly contribute to weight loss in any meaningful or long-term way. However, it does have some minor effects on your body’s energy expenditure and overall health. Masturbation does burn some calories, but the amount is quite small. On average, you might burn anywhere from 3 to 5 calories per minute depending on the intensity and duration of the activity. This means that a typical masturbation session could burn somewhere between 15 to 50 calories.
