Q: I have read that having sex is a good work out and it burns a lot of calories. If that is true, why do men and women’s bodies get bloated after marriage? Why do men and women put on a lot of weight after marriage? Is it something to do about the sexual intercourse and related hormonal changes?

A:Vigorous sexual intercourse burns calories that are comparable to those burnt during a modest workout. However, just one sinful pastry or mithai can undo this completely. Everybody does not gain wait after marriage. Only those who don't care to exercise or watch their diets do. Of course, there are pathological causes (diseases which cause obesity) in a small group of patients.
