A lot of people may have tried to use a sick day this past Monday after the Super Bowl. It’s one of the roughest Mondays of the whole year, there’s no shame in it. But in the future you might be able to use a sex day.
A new report says that it’s possible that workplaces may start providing special days for “sexual wellness.” These so-called “sex days” would be dedicated time off for “intimacy, health, and related needs.” In a survey, more than 3 in 5 employees support the idea of paid or unpaid “sex days.” The other 2 out of 5 likely have a somber Valentine’s Day planned from how they voted.
Half of employees who have taken a “sex day” reported increased productivity. And nearly 1 in 5 Americans would feel comfortable approaching their manager about taking a “sex day” or “sexual wellness day.” Now I don’t know about discussing my “sexual wellness day” with my manager, but I think this is the first step of many to making this world a better place.
