Weird News: Forget tea or coffee breaks, a Swedish company has taken office culture to a bold new level. To help employees fight stress and boost creativity, the company has officially added a 30-minute ‘masturbation break’ to their daily work schedule. And yes, it’s real, not a joke.
One-of-a-Kind Policy By Erika Lust:
This unexpected idea came from Erika Lust, the founder of an adult entertainment company in Sweden. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she noticed her team was constantly anxious, tired, and losing focus. That’s when she decided to break the routine in the most unexpected way, by giving everyone time for “self-pleasure.”Inspired by Masturbation Month in May, Erika thought, “Why not give people a break that actually helps them feel better?”
Welcome To The ‘Masturbation Station’:
To make things more comfortable, the company even built a private space inside the office called the ‘Masturbation Station’. It’s a quiet, private room where employees can go and unwind, no judgment, no questions. Erika believes this move helped her staff feel “calmer, happier, and more productive.”
More Than Just Pleasure:
For Erika, this isn’t only about stress relief, it’s about changing how people see sexual wellness. She says, “Masturbation is also related to mental and physical health and it should get the same respect.”
The Internet Can’t Stop Talking About It:
Since the news broke out, Erika’s bold move has sparked worldwide curiosity. Some companies are even exploring similar ideas. And in Erika’s office, they’ve got a new motto, “An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away.” Whether you find it shocking, funny, or genius, this policy has definitely caught the internet’s attention.
