When most professionals talk about their growing concerns with the new “work-from-home” model, they readily mention family stress, tension and burnout as the lines between home and office have become blurred. As health care professionals, however, we get to hear the full, uncensored truth—including, notably, complaints about a diminished spiritual and physical intimacy with their significant others that is taking a toll on their productivity at work.

The correlation between professional productivity and a satisfactory romantic life cannot be diminished. A 2019 study published in the Journal of Management examined the relationship between sexual behavior and job satisfaction and engagement. Study findings suggest that engaging in sex at home led to increased positive affect at work the following day and that sex at home increased daily job satisfaction and engagement.
