ACTIONES SECUNDUM FIDEI!

"We Act according to what we believe......(ourselves to be!)"

It seems as though there's a shortage of human beings, an over abundance of doldrum marriages, and a need for exercise that is more pleasurable than dumbbells and sweating to stomach crunches in Overtornea Sweden!

Local politician Social Democrat Councilman Per-Erik Muskos has a solution to these problems. He is hoping to pass a law that would allow the Community Municipal employees to engage in paid sex-breaks from work. It would be an hour each week for a paid sex leave. "Subsidized sex break."

Swedish workers already enjoy subsidized hours for exercising. The sex break would be added to the available activities under the law for people in Overtornea.

Seems there's a shortage of a balance between work life and personal life in Overtornea. Also, the community as a whole is dwindling in population. The community is very small. Between 4500 to 5000 residents make up the town's population in Northern Sweden.

Councilman Muskos, has proposed that the subsidized sex-break would be presented as a benefit, not only for the employees, physical health, as a form of exercise...but also as a remedy to add spice to lack-luster aging marriages! And it most certainly would improve employee morale!

The 42-year-old councilman wants to add to those benefits, by offering the municipality’s 550 employees the right to subsidized sex. He told fellow members of the town council that it would give a nudge to the dwindling local population, add spice to aging marriages and improve employee morale.

“This could be an opportunity for couples to have their own time, only for each other.” Muskos proposal has generated praise, ridicule, and criticism. Some critics fear single workers could while away their working hours on the dating app Tinder trying to find a date for their weekly interlude.(1)

But they did all confer on one sure benefit to the town and it's people that they were concerned about. The decline in the birth rate!

“We should encourage procreation. I believe that sex is often in short supply.

Everyday life is stressful and the children are at home,” Mr. Muskos explained in his motion in Overtornea, a town of about 4,500 in the picturesque and remote Torne Valley.(2) They...need sex breaks!

However...not all of the council, or towns people agreed...or saw it that way: Some of the town's council really don't think a subsidized sex-break is beneficial. Getting paid to have sex...is just not the answer!

Narcissus by Caravaggio, gazing at his own reflection!

Wake up! Wake up! Your minds are being manipulated. You are being deceived! To the utmost, you are being deceived! Well...some of you are! You are swimming in a sea of false comfort! The billows of the waves that are bolstering you up...will soon either cast you to the shore...or carry you out to sea! Wake up! Wake up...and recognize just what...and who you are dealing with!

Malin Hansson, 41, a sexologist and specialist in reproductive health in Gothenburg, applauded the initiative, arguing that sex reduced stress, improved sleep and strengthened immunity, while enriching intimacy between couples. “If it was up to me, I would introduce this across the country,” she said, adding: “In Sweden, sex is considered just another activity.”(3)

Lotta Dellve, a professor in the sociology department at the University of Gothenburg, said that her research showed that short bursts of physical activity during office hours had many benefits, including productivity. “This activity could include sex, why not?” she asked.(4)

But Professor Dellve, who is married and has two daughters in their 20s, said it would be ridiculous for employers to mandate when employees should become intimate. “It is wonderful to see your spouse during the workday, but you don’t necessarily want to have sex,” she said.(5)

Stefan Nilsson, a Green Party member who sits on the health and welfare committee of the Swedish Parliament, said he was skeptical that taxpayers would want their money to finance work-hour sex, but allowed that the idea might be a canny investment in physical activity, noting that healthier workers cost the government less.(6)

Others were less persuaded.(7)

Tomas Vedestig, 42, a left-leaning municipal councilman in Overtornea, said that when Mr. Muskos made his pitch, his colleagues were so taken aback that they thought they had misheard him. Mr. Vedestig said the proposal was intrusive and threatened to embarrass people who do not have sexual partners; do not want to have sex; or had medical conditions that precluded sex.(8)

“I don’t think it’s the employer’s business to say, ‘Go home for an hour and make babies,’” he said. And some proponents worried the proposal was too stingy: “I spoke to a couple of older gentlemen who said, ‘One hour? That is not enough time.’”(9)

What do you think? Do you want to drop a line or two in the suggestion box at your job? Maybe send a letter to Human Resources stating that you want sex benefits? Perhaps organize, "A Job With Sex benefits group," on your lunch break at your place of employment? Do you...want to be paid sex benefits at your job? Would you picket and go on strike to get a sex benefit addendum...in your benefits package? Well...
