Study Finds 58% of People Have Sex While Working From Home
When the pandemic hit, a lot of nonwork activities happened on the clock, but productivity increased dramatically
Yes, Americans are getting laid on the clock.
As the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are finding ourselves having to adapt to a new way of life.
It means finding new and creative ways to make a living. For countless others, It means the normalization of working from home. The pandemic ushered in a new era of work-from-home that’s blurred the lines between work life and personal life.
For some people, the change has been welcome. It allows them to be more flexible with their time. For others, it’s a source of stress. They feel like they are always working and have lost their sense of privacy.
Research has shown that people are doing a variety of non-working activities while on the clock, working from home. Various studies have shown people engaging in activities like grooming or socializing during company time, though, to be fair, people do this at the office, too.
Anyone who’s ever worked in a restaurant or call center has known at least one person who’s done drugs with their friends in the bathroom.
Socializing and primping are things people need to do throughout the day, so it’s no surprise it sometimes happens during company time.
Some fascinating research has uncovered that people are even having sex during work-from-home arrangements (yes, while on the clock).
From January to March 2020, as the pandemic ramped up and people hunkered down to avoid catching SARS-CoV-2, Pornhub saw a jaw-dropping rise in traffic of 11%. People were working from home, some were laid off, and many turned to pornography as a source of entertainment to pass the time.
Alcohol sales jumped 55% in the same period, according to Nielsen Corporation, a century-old company that specializes in consumer and marketing data.
