A Swedish Politician has proposed that the country’s workers receive a paid, hourlong break each day so they can go home and have sex. Town councilman Per-Erik Muskos said subsidized intimacy could improve relationships and boost well-being and Sweden’s dwindling birth rate. “I believe that sex is a scarce commodity in many long relationships,” Muskos says. “Everyday life is stressful.” If the Paid Sex hour is created, he concedes, “you can’t guarantee that a worker doesn’’t go out for a walk instead.”
