Sexual wellness brand LELO has revealed that almost one in five Britons (17 percent) has admitted to masturbating at work in the last 12 months.
According to the data, around one in three engineers (34 percent) are practising self-love on the job.
Recruiters follow close behind them, with 29 percent admitting to “workplace w***”, as LELO refers to it.
While masturbating at work is probably not how your boss wants you to spend your time on the clock, LELO suggested that dedicating time to self-pleasure outside the office is very beneficial.
In a 2023 report, the experts found that “more orgasms would make for a cost-effective way to *stimulate* the economy”.
According to the research, 45 percent of Britons feel more productive when they are having regular orgasms.
An excerpt from the report read: “The global hangover from Covid combined with ongoing global crises are keeping productivity at low levels across the world, but small changes can make enormous differences on a larger scale. If global productivity increases by 20 percent, imagine the chain effect on poverty and living standards.
”Happiness can be achieved through behavioural changes as small as orgasms and bedroom intimacy. The best part? Changes such as these cost nothing, aside from maybe some creative thinking from governments, employers and their employees.”
