Obscure Fact Request

Does anyone know how much electricity the average couple generates during a love making session?

Obscure facts could make for a very interesting thread...


According to this chart (http://www.womansday.com/sex-relationships/sex-tips/8-sexy-ways-to-burn-calories-110923), 144 calories/half hour, per person. If the guy has any staying power (and, assuming he cares if she gets off), it should go on for about an hour. According to this Calory-Watt/hour chart ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]), it's not enough to worry about.

This has more real-world info (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_1000_calories_in_watts).
