Coworker porn had employees exerting themselves harder than ever in 2024

With the return to the office came the return of the office crush, and it seems employees are taking things into their own hands when it comes to unrequited love. Literally. Gone are the days of dreaming about a steamy kiss in the printer room or sharing longing looks over the water cooler. Now, people are turning to porn.

In Pornhub’s 2024 review, searches involving the term ‘coworker’ rose by 92%. And rather fittingly, those searching for ‘f**king coworker’ increased by 69%. It’s not like being attracted to a coworker is anything new. In the days before dating apps, once you’d left school or university, your next best dating pool was the workplace. So why is 2024 the year it’s taken off?.

Psychosexual therapist Ness Cooper tells Metro that the return to IRL work following the pandemic has shifted professional relationships along with it. ‘Many colleagues may have been connected via online work and culture while working from home,’ she explains. ‘But if you’ve suddenly been working with them in-person for the past year, it’s likely you’ve formed different attachments with their in-person personas.’.

In a world where we’re increasingly online, Ness isn’t surprised we’re all suddenly enjoying some self-care to thoughts of Shauna in HR or Barry in accounts. She adds: ‘We have less and less face-to-face interaction than ever, and most forms of traditional dating have been turned into online experiences.
