Default Sex makes me gain weight....EVERY TIME!
Ok, this isn't a coincidence lol. The first time "I did it" the following morning i had gained 3 pounds. Worked like heck to get it off.

Then a few days later, after sex, the following morning, another 3 pounds.

So I waited 2 weeks. Losing weight as normal. No weird spikes or stalls.

Made love again and the following morning, I gained 3 pounds!!!

Is there an explanation to this? Or am I going mad? I noticed this on 5 different occasions and every single time I gained 3 pounds. Spent the week to loose it and then it happens again.

Is it particularly strenuous? Sometimes strenuous activity can cause water weight gain.

Hormones can cause water weight fluctuations and that is one activity that is definitely hormonally driven.

Sex only caused me to gain weight 3 times....

The last time was about 14 years ago... My youngest will be 13 in a couple of weeks!

Ladies, you are all AWESOME! I have nothing more to contribute because (ahem) lack of data.

Well, I can say that everytime I've lost any weight at all, it's been preceded by at least one full and long night of sleep. So maybe less sleep that previous night contributes?

Yes, the guys must weigh themselves too, directly after sex. My uneducated guess would be the guys lost and the women gained.
