LONDON — Sugarcookie.com’s Harriet Sugarcookie has written an article about the number of employees who access pornography during their working hours.
In her latest post, “How Many People Watch Porn at Work Will Shock You,” Sugarcookie refers to the British Houses of Parliament’s 24,000 attempts to access porn at work, and conducted a personal survey of average office workers to see how they compare.
Sugarcookie noted that “in our survey, nearly 60 percent of people have watched porn at work at some point, even if it’s by accident … 58 percent reported boredom at work as their reason for seeking out porn and 20 percent watched porn at work because they were stressed.”
The survey also found that 92 percent of employees used their personal devices to circumvent work filters; 72 percent of females and 57 percent of males admitted to masturbating at the office. Sugarcookie found the men’s survey results a bit suspicious: “If anything, this figure seems low. We expected it to be closer to 100 percent.”
“We all look for distractions from work, whether it’s Facebook, messaging, YouTube, games or watching porn,” Sugarcookie added. “Workers cannot be expected to work flat out all day. In fact there are studies showing that a masturbation break can actually lead to higher morale and productivity in workers.”
The lesson for bosses, Sugarcookie said, is to “monitor stressed employees, maybe give them a break to relax, like the previous study suggested, perhaps a porn and masturbation break can get them back to peak performance?”
