Gen Z women are becoming increasingly passionate and bothered when they walk into the office.
Most Americans have seen a change in their sex drive since returning to the office, with about half experiencing an increase in desire and the other half experiencing a decrease — but Gen Z women are the most horny.
Overall, about 46% of Americans surveyed said their sexual desire has increased since returning to the office, while 40% said their sexual desire has decreased, according to a new study released by DatingNews.com.
However, Gen Z women (56%) are the most likely to feel annoyed when they walk into the office.
They attributed their increased sexual desire to improved mental health, with 22% of young women citing this as the main reason.
This is especially true for single people.
Looking at all those who returned to the office, unmarried people saw the biggest rise in sexual desire, with 53% reporting an increase in desire after returning to the office, compared with just 37% of those with someone waiting at home.
“This suggests that remote working has had an impact on the mental health of young singles, who may have spent much more time alone during quarantine than those who are or have been in a relationship. Now that they are able to interact with colleagues in the office again, they feel much better – and they are in the mood to make up for lost time,” the study authors concluded.
Men have different reactions to returning to their desks.
Overall, only 22% said their sexual desire had increased, with the majority of those saying sex was a good way to relieve stress at work.
But only 19% of single Gen Z men said they felt more sexually active upon returning to the office due to improved mental health — and none of the Gen Z men in relationships agreed.
Younger men are more likely to say that working in an office makes them more excited at home because they miss their partner during the day.
But not everyone is ready for bed when they get home.
Single Gen Z men are most likely to say office jobs have dampened their libido and ruined their sex lives due to difficulties maintaining a work-life balance.
However, young men in love have less desire for sex due to work pressure, while the opposite is true for young women.
Looking at changes in their schedules, about 16% of Gen Z male workers say that commuting is hurting their sexual desire — especially single Gen Z men who don’t have anyone waiting for them.
Meanwhile, nearly 15% of Gen Z women in relationships were more likely to find their new commute reduced their sexual desire.
Some employees (14%) also found that going to the office for sex made them lose interest in sex because it felt too planned compared to working from home days when random hookups were more likely.
In fact, according to a 2023 report, about a quarter (or just over 25%) of employees who work from home have sex during work hours.
