Published time: 22 Feb, 2017 14:21

The working day should include an hour break in which people can go home and have sex, a Swedish city councilor has suggested.

Per Erik Muskos, a member of the Swedish Social Democrat party, made the proposal during a council meeting in the northern city of Overtornea.

Muskos is backing the measure because he believes midweek sex breaks will improve wellness and boost childbirth in the northern region he represents.

Sweden has long been stereotyped as a nation of sex-loving citizens. However, the government launched a three-year sex study last year to address reports claiming that their sexual appetites are waning.

Social Democrat and Public Health Minister Gabriel Wikstrom said at the time that it was the governments duty to investigate whether sexual activity was lagging due to health issues.

In fact, if the social conditions for pleasurable sex are deteriorating due to stress or health problems this is, in itself, a political problem, Wikstrom wrote in Dagens Nyahter in announcing the study, which is due to be completed in 2019.
