Gen Z finally wants to have more sex - at the office

Nope I did not make that up. This is a report by nypost - Published June 15, 2025 (link -> https://nypost.com/2025/06/15/lifestyle/gen-z-finally-wants-to-have-more-sex-at-the-office/ and here -> https://www.fastcompany.com/91350604/gen-z-wants-office-hook-up-spaces)

"38% of Gen Z want offices to have hookup spaces" says the article But wait - let's ask some deeper questions:

• How big was the sample size? 10000? 100,000? Million? Nope ... it was 800 staffers and 200 managers (PS: They reference a Fastcompany post where they call out 2000 respondents as their sample set.. what a large GEN Z sample set.. right?)
• Where were they sourced from? (Snapchat? TikTok? A dating app?)
• What was the prompt?
• Did we isolate career-focused Gen Z from attention-focused ones?
• Are we confusing the loudest cohort with the representative one?

The way I see it, you can't take a niche preference from ~120 anonymous respondents and extrapolate it across an entire generation of 2.5 billion people. That's not journalism. That's not reporting. That’s intellectual fraud.

We are witnessing a new epidemic: Hot takes with cold logic Just because a story is provocative doesn't mean it's representative. But the media doesn't care. Because:

• Sensational data + sexual framing = guaranteed clicks. And then, we project it onto everyone:
• "Gen Z doesn't want to work"
• "Gen Z wants office sex rooms and 3-day work weeks" Lazy narratives, built for engagement, not accuracy.

The truth (as far as I know) Gen Z doesn't want sex rooms. Gen Z wants:

• Economic security
• Clarity at work
• Mental health taken seriously
• Work that feels less hollow than what they saw their parents do for 30 years and .. maybe .. just maybe.. lesser of the shitty news belittling them.

I mean come on.. How long are we going to keep mistaking virality for truth.

Stop stereotyping Gen Z with 3-line surveys and horny headlines. Give them real problems. And watch how seriously they show up.

But that's how I look at it.

So I got to ask - Do you think this research represents Gen Z fairly - or is it just great marketing?
