Gen Z women are getting hot and bothered going into the office.
Most Americans experienced changes in their sexual desires upon returning to the office in person with about half seeing their sex drive increase and the other half seeing it decrease — but Gen Z women have become the horniest.
Overall, about 46% of Americans surveyed said they’ve experienced an increase in sexual desire since returning to the office, while 40% said they experienced a decrease, according to a new study published by DatingNews.com.

However, Gen Z females — 56% of them — are getting the most hot and bothered going into the office.
They attributed their growing sexual appetite to an improvement in their mental health, with 22% of young females citing that as a key reason.
That was especially true for singles.
Looking at everyone who returned to the office, the unpartnered experienced the most notable rise in their sexual desires, with 53% feeling an increase after returning to the office, compared to 37% of those with someone waiting for them at home.
“This shows how working remotely has affected the mental health of young, single people who perhaps spent a lot more time alone during lockdowns than those who are or were in a relationship. Now that they’re able to interact in the office with their co-workers again, they’re feeling better — and they’re feeling in the mood to make up for lost time,” the study authors concluded.
Men are having different reactions to returning to their office desks.
Overall, only 22% said they experienced an increase in their sexual desire with most of those noting that sex is a great way to relieve the stresses of the workday.
But just 19% of single Gen Z men also said that they’ve become hornier returning to the office because their mental health improved — while no Gen Z men in a relationship agreed.
Young men were more likely to say that working from the office made them hornier at home because they missed their partners during the day.
But not everyone is coming home ready to jump in the sack.
Single Gen Z males were the most likely to say that going into the office has softened their sex drive and ruined their sex life as they struggle to maintain a work-life balance.
But young men in a relationship desire less sex because the stresses of the job are getting to them. The opposite was true for young women.
Looking at how their schedules have changed, about 16% of all Gen Z male workers said that the commute to work is damaging their sexual appetite — especially single Gen Z men who don’t have someone waiting for them.
Meanwhile, close to 15% of Gen Z women in a relationship were much more likely to find the new commute decreased their sexual desires.
Some workers (14%) also found that going into the office has turned them off from sex because it feels too planned compared to the work-from-home days when a random rendevous was more likely.
In fact, about one in four — or just over 25% — of work-from-home employees were having sex on the clock, according to a 2023 report.
