Tbf, psychologists say masturbation can lead to more focus and higher productivity
A new study has found that millions of workers could be partaking in a little bit of self-pleasure on the job.
According to research by Chemist4U, which interviewed 2,000 people, more than one in ten (14 per cent) Brits have masturbated at work, which goes up to over a fifth (22 per cent) of all men.
The survey revealed that 18 per cent of those surveyed said they had accessed porn content while working, which paints Neil Parish in a better light.
The Tory MP was forced to quit earlier this year after admitting he watched pornography twice in Parliament.
He said the first time was accidental after looking at a tractor website, but the second time – in the House of Commons – was deliberate.
Former Tiverton & Honiton MP Neil Parish says he was probably 'done in' by some of his colleagues who reported him for watching porn in Parliament.
No shame, no apology!

The new polling suggests London is the highest city to masturbate on the clock, with 16 per cent of respondents admitting to doing the deed.
The survey also found that Brits earning between £35,001 and £45,000 were the most likely to masturbate.
Gracefully, a psychology lecturer at Nottingham Trent University, Mark Sergeant, has said that doing the deed can improve focus.
“I would expect a masturbation policy to result in more focus, less aggression, higher productivity, and more smiling,” he told Metro.
“Certainly taking a masturbation break for boredom or an escape would increase work focus.”
However, he insists this policy should have limitations, as employees shouldn’t be encouraged to fantasise about their colleagues.
He said: “Introducing any form of sexual behaviour to a workplace could be seen as a slippery slope that makes people think that other forms of sexual behaviour, such as those linked to harassment, are more acceptable.”
