When times are tough in the office, some people pour themselves a strong coffee, or wait until the end of the day to drink something even stronger than that.

Others might nip outside for a quick puff on a cigarette or head to the break room for a good gossip with their most trusted colleagues.

But one woman has revealed she does something rather different while she's at work to relieve the stress - and what it is it might shock you.

Nadia Bokody, sex columnist and editor of She Said, has admitted that she masturbates at work.

In a post on She Said, the 34-year-old explained where, how and why she does it.

Nadia reveals that if she's feeling a little tense, or sexually frustrated while sitting at her desk, she slips out for her daily "coffee break", only she's not going for coffee.

"When other colleagues are busy self-indulgently puffing on their cinnamon vapes and making trips to Starbucks to wait in line for 10 minutes for their pumpkin lattes, I’m rubbing one out," she writes.

"If it’s lunch time, I’ll head home for a quick dalliance with my vibrator (perks of living walking distance from the office), but on the odd occasion I can’t wait that long, I’ll pop into the restroom, throw in my headphones, and silently surf some RedTube until my stresses are eased.

"Fifteen minutes later, I’ll reemerge brighter and more focused, ready to tackle whatever the rest of the day throws at me."

Despite loving masturbation, there's another reason why Nadia uses this unique method of stress release - for its scientifically proven benefits.

"A study published in The Journal Of Sexual Medicine found orgasms are actually better for the brain than typical mental exercises, like Soduku and crossword puzzles," she explains.

"This is because, during a climax, blood flow is boosted to every single part of the brain, whereas mental exercises only stimulate certain regions. In other words, if your employer wants to beat the 3p.m. workplace productivity slump once and for all, they should seriously consider implementing a fap break policy."

And she's not bothered about breaking any workplace etiquette rules either.

She adds: "The fact is, what you do alone behind the closed door of your office restroom cubicle is really none of your employer’s business - provided you’re not doing it outside of your break time. So, fap away, I say."
