Is fucking doomed to failure?
How to flirt when you have children and a crazy desire to find a partner (forever or just for a while)
Taking into account that the topic at hand is
happy
by nature (doesn't it make you smile to know that orgasms can make you a better worker?), we are going to take advantage of this wave of positivity to even highlight something good about the unfortunate period of
confinement
: the rise of
teleworking
.
According to data from the
Active Population Survey (EPA)
prepared by the INE, in the second quarter of 2023, 1,527,800 people teleworked, and although hybrid formats are the favorites of many companies, the possibility of
working at home
is increasingly more common.
Various
studies
brought to light a
surprising fact
(or perhaps not so surprising...) when they analyzed how this type of work had transformed our lives: both
men
and
women
masturbate during the work day, and it is
so common
that there is already a
neologism
to give it its name:
procrasturbation.
The word, coined by
psychologist Philip Zimbardo,
refers to the habit of
delaying activities
by replacing them with
onanism
.
If someone is in human resources or has a company, we ask you not to throw your hands in your head by believing that this habit can sink the business: in reality, orgasms
are
the
best allies of productivity.
Neurons also gain from sex
"One of the
benefits
of
masturbation
is
to mitigate stress.
By reducing it, the person can experience
less tension
and enjoy a
better work environment.
A study revealed how sexual practices
increase connections between neurons,
providing an
increase in intelligence ,
which influences better
effectiveness
and
efficiency
when carrying out work tasks," explains
Rocío Moñino,
psychologist and sexologist at VivelaVita.
"On the other hand, when we have a satisfactory sexual practice, our
brain
releases different
natural substances
that are very important to reduce stress and provide the person with
general well-being,
which will increase their performance and
production
at work," he adds. she.
And so we can see that, although economic growth is measured by the increase in gross domestic product (GDP), pleasure
also
plays a vital role not only in our
mental health,
but in
personal productivity.
Megwyn White,
certified sexologist and director of education at Satisfyer, explains that, as we well know,
work
can be
stressful
, generating
adrenaline
and
cortisol as a result,
which can lead to
muscle tension, headaches
and
anxiety.
"Anxiety also
consumes a lot of brain energy
that could be better channeled through productive work.
Sex
can help
counteract
the negative effects of
adrenaline
and
cortisol
by triggering the release of
feel
-good
chemicals
such as
oxytocin
and endorphins
, which help relieve stress and tension in the body, and
improve mood.
These benefits are related to
greater productivity
and can be a great boost during a busy workday," he says before noting that
having
sex
It promotes
concentration
,
creativity
and even self-confidence and self-esteem, which can help us be better communicators and adapt better during our work day.
Effects longer than orgasm
Of course, when we talk about the benefits of having sex in the workplace, we are not suggesting that those who work in a physical office turn it into a temple of pleasure, but rather we are referring to the spectrum of
teleworking
.
But if you are not part of that group of lucky ones, don't frown: the report The LELO Economy of Orgasms, launched by the sex toy brand LELO, indicates that the
benefits of sex
are not only enjoyed immediately, So those who work in the office, if they maintain an active sexual life outside of it, will also see their productivity increase.
"After
orgasm
, the
brain
is flooded with
dopamine
, and in the immediate period afterwards,
oxytocin, prolactin
and
endorphins.
These hormones make us feel more relaxed and united with those around us. Taking into account that their
effects
can
last up to 24 hours ,
the benefits are felt when we go to work, where this happiness translates into increased productivity," explains the analysis.
The study also indicates that
74% of Spaniards
are
more productive
when they have
orgasms regularly
.
At the same time, 91% of respondents feel relaxed and less stressed after having an orgasm, and 4% of them continue to enjoy the benefits of orgasm up to two days later.
"It's really interesting to investigate what
orgasms
can do for a person, but it's even more amazing to realize that this can increase
happiness
and
productivity
,
thereby influencing the global economy
," says
Rosanna Spero,
author of the report.
Teleworker: why you have to stop (and why sex can benefit you)
But let's return to
teleworkers
: can they have
sex
in the middle of the day without orgasms being a
distraction
or is it an impossible mission to embrace work after having enjoyed the pleasure?
Responds
Agustín Peralt,
expert in executive coaching and productivity, and creator of the FASE method.
"Sometimes, when teleworking we make the mistake of not taking
breaks
or
stops
, which we refer to as
daily recharges.
We always propose
activities
such as taking a walk, taking a mini-nap, listening to music, having a coffee... and, obviously, having
sex
can be one of them. Teleworking provides a certain flexibility in how you plan your day and you must precisely organize it to bring out your best version during work hours. If sex helps you, practice it! Of course, make sure that it
does not affect to your
acquired commitments," he warns.
He also points out that one of the keys to
personal productivity
is
energy
and that, within them, one of the most important is
emotional
energy , whose levels a good professional must always keep
under control
.
"To achieve this, you must
control cortisol,
which is the
stress
hormone , and an active sexual life helps to reduce and compensate for its levels thanks to the
release of endorphins,
dopamine, serotonin
and
oxytocin.
Since the practice of sex generates all of them, There is a direct correlation between an active sexual life and an increase in personal productivity, in the same way as with sports
,"
says Peralt.
Well, if we are allowed to choose, we leave sports as option B... right?
No coffee breaks or breaks to check out social media: the best way to promote productivity is to have sex, and if we have to do it to help boost the economy, how can we say no?
