Horny employees working from home during the coronavirus pandemic are feeding more than just their hunger during their daily lunch breaks — they’re satisfying their sexual desires, too.

According to livestreaming sex cam site Stripchat, more than 75% of US users are logging in to watch its X-rated content between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., the site has revealed to The Post.

That’s about 158,000 users logging in a day, out of 210,000 users total. By far the most popular time of day is between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., with about 90% of those users logging on then, according to the data compiled between June 5 and June 12.

“Remote workers [are beginning to explore] new mid-afternoon pick-me-ups [since] another cup of coffee isn’t cutting it anymore,” says Stripchat’s communications director Max Bennett in a statement. “Data shows that with more people working remotely, there has been a dramatic increase in people tuning into porn during the workday.”

New Yorkers also seem to be among the most titillated during lunch, with 10% of Stripchat’s viewers based in the Empire State. California is first, making up 16% of the site’s viewership.

About 75% are tuning in using their phones during work hours, with Android making up over 43% and iPhones 32%.

The uptick, says Bennett, was an expected one.

“This new work from home masturbation revolution comes at a time when work-related stress is at an all-time high,” he says. “Having those few minutes to yourself releases the perfect amount of endorphins to help you get through that mid-afternoon hump.”

And while getting off while on the job may sound bad, experts say procrasturbation may be good for productivity, since orgasms send blood, oxygen, neurochemicals and nutrients to the brain.

“Mental exercises increase brain activity but only in relatively localized regions,” Dr. Barry Komisaruk of Rutgers University tells the Sunday Times of London. “Orgasm activates the whole.”

Not to mention, New York City heath officials say touching yourself is also the safest way to get frisky during COVID-19.

“Video dates, sexting, subscription-based fan platforms, sexy ‘Zoom parties’ or chat rooms may be options for you,” according to their guide.
