Does sex cause weight gain?

I've noticed some recent weight gain and I'm trying to figure out why. A friend jokingly asked if I was more active, and it got me wondering. Can sex actually lead to weight gain?

I used to think my sudden weight gain after marriage was just hormonal or due to lifestyle changes, so I ignored it. It turned out to be a severe thyroid issue that got worse because I delayed testing. Please get a simple blood test done to check your hormones instead of guessing.

Arey, if that was the case, we would all be double our size by now! The real culprit is the late-night snacks and post-wedding feasts we keep eating. Our metabolism is slowing down, so blame the biryani, not your partner!

My elders always said that the body changes naturally after marriage, but when I asked our family doctor, he laughed and said it is a total myth. Weight gain happens only due to consuming more calories than you burn. Just maintain a simple, active routine.

Nahi beti, aisa kuch nahi hota. Shaadi ke baad jab hum khush rehte hain aur ghar ka khaan-paan badal jata hai, toh thoda vajan badh jata hai. Yeh bilkul normal hai, man me koi chinta mat rakho.

Bilkul galat baat hai yeh. Physical intimacy is actually a form of exercise, it burns calories, so how can it gain weight? You are probably eating more junk food or sleeping late. Focus on your diet and stop believing these old wives' tales.
