In a rare move, Erika Lust, a director of adult films, provides optional masturbation breaks for her employees in Barcelona. She says masturbation helps relieve work stress, ease anxiety, and promote better sleep.
While many find the concept unusual, studies reveal this behavior is more common than assumed. Nearly 40 percent of people report masturbating during work hours, fueling online debates about workplace appropriateness.
On forums such as Reddit, some users strongly oppose such behavior, saying it’s unprofessional and should be avoided. Others admit to having done it but often find the experience awkward or embarrassing.
This controversy raises important questions about the modern workplace environment and how companies support employee well-being beyond traditional methods.
