Is sexual activity considered cardio exercise?

I have wondered how many calories are burned during intercourse, especially for us women? Does it matter whether the sexual activity is partnered or solo? For what period of time?

I have not come across any data about the calories spent during a sexual intercourse. It seems that intensity of sexual intercourse differ from one act to the other and from one couple to another one. Hence exact calories cannot be computed. However if there is a balanced sexual activity, the couple can live a happy and healthy life.
