"Relationship expert Melissa Ferrari told Yahoo Finance that this act isn't an inherently bad thing. "Being a couples therapist, I'm aware of the pressure people feel around time constraints... of actually being able to connect and have sex," she said. RELATED: "The opportunity for people to be intimate is a lot less these days. Time is of the essence." Her first reaction upon hearing the findings was "why not go for it?""
"She added that sex can leave some people "elevated" and "happy" afterwards, which could help improve their productivity at work. In 2017, Swedish politician Per-Erik Muskos suggested people in the small town of Övertorneå should take a paid one-hour break each week to go home and be intimate, claiming it could see people become more productive and have better job satisfaction. His proposal was rejected, with the then-mayor saying it was not for the council to "interfere" in peoples' personal lives."
Remote work has enabled Australians to combine household tasks and private activities during the workday. A Finder survey found 9% of respondents admitted to having sex with their partner during typical 9–5 hours while at home. Time constraints reduce opportunities for intimacy, making brief encounters appealing when they do not disrupt required work tasks. Short intimate encounters can leave partners elevated and happy, which may improve productivity. A past proposal in Sweden for paid intimacy breaks was rejected as an inappropriate council intervention. Many Australians also report engaging in other controversial behaviours while working from home.
