They want the day off to get it on.

Knocking boots, instead of clocking in, increases employee productivity, according to new data on the benefits of taking “sex days” off from the job.

“‘Sex days’ [are] dedicated time off for intimacy, health, and needs,” explained researchers from ZipHealthan online pharmacy, in a January report.

Surveying 800 staffers and 200 managers across all adult age demographics — Gen Z, millennials, Gen X and baby boomers — analysts found that 50% of 9-to-5ers who’ve ditched the desk to get down and dirty experienced a rise in their work output.

It’s the new “sick day.” But instead of staying home and taking meds, they’re getting busy shaking the bed.

“Half of the employees who had taken [a sex day] reported a noticeable boost in their productivity afterward,” say study authors, “hinting at the potential organizational advantages of embracing sexual wellness initiatives.”

Now that’s bangin’.

But beyond getting to enjoy an all-day, weekday roll in the hay, some hanky-panky time away from the daily grind could be just what the doctor ordered — especially when it comes to supporting one’s mental health.

Sexpert Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, a professor at the University of California, Fullerton, recently warned that all work and no play can cause stress, anxiety, depression and anger. The NSFW know-it-all advised that the negative emotions associated with overworking and under-shagging can zap the pleasure out of doing “the do” once a workaholic finally carves out a little time for intimacy.

Investigators for ZipHelath, too, underscored the benefits of boinking to an hireling’s overall well-being.

The insiders revealed that nearly 60% of employees said addressing sexual health at work could improve mental health — which would, in turn, impact work performance.

Analysts also found that nearly 60% of employees felt prioritizing sexual wellness could reduce burnout or absenteeism.

Unsurprisingly, younger members of the workforce, Gen Zers and millennials — laborers ranging in age from 18 to 43 — are all in favor of sex days. Breadwinners in tech, health care and finance showed the highest enthusiasm for the X-rated respites.

In fact, the demand for company-sanctioned sex days — either paid or unpaid — is so great, that folks on the clock said they’d happily forgo other work perks in exchange for the green light to get freaky, per the report.

A staggering 23% agreed to forfeit “free meals and snacks” from the job, while 17% would eagerly lose out on “employee recognition programs” if it meant they’d be granted 24-hours of guilt-free canoodling.

Hot-to-trot jobholders would also gladly sacrifice paid time off (PTO), remote work and annual bonuses for the freedom to conduct some midweek funny business.

A shocking 20% of underlings said they’d even consider leaving their current job for one that offers “sex days” as part of its wellness benefits.

However, it seems those who aren’t offered a naked break are sneakily taking one right under the boss’ nose.

The poll found that 14% of employees have had sex at work, with 10% of in-office workers and 12% of remote workers admitting to the behavior. The findings echo those of a September 2023 report from CalendarLabs, a virtual scheduling hub, which exposed 25% of work-from-home employees for humping and bumping during their shifts.

Currently, only 3% of employers offer sex day, according to ZipHealth. But the study found that an impressive 15% of bigwigs are at least open to adopting them in the future.

“From enhancing mental health and reducing stigma to boosting productivity and loyalty, sexual wellness initiatives could redefine workplace wellness programs,” said researchers.

“With younger generations leading the way and tech, health care, and finance companies embracing the trend, the future of workplace wellness might be more dynamic than ever.”
