Workers accustomed to posting secrets on Instagram and TikTok, or who just have lower personal filters, are dropping risqué emojis in team Slack channels, asking bosses for advice on condoms and detailing the rules they use for “swinging” with other couples, unprompted in the hallway, say employees and managers.⁠

Some say sharing about, say, a polyamorous relationship, is less about sex than defining their identity and being fully themselves—whether others want to hear about it or not.⁠

With more Americans single than in past decades, conversations about dating apps and first nights with new partners are happening in the office, says Justin Garcia, executive director of Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute, which studies sexuality. Young people feel especially comfortable sharing, he adds.⁠

“We’re all trying to figure out, where are the lines?” he says.⁠

They’re blurry. At the office, we’re sharing our mental-health issues, fertility struggles, politics and salaries. The only intimate thing left is, well, intimacy.⁠

Members of Generation Z, born from 1995 to 2012, are more open to discussing sex, even if they aren’t having as much of it. Some 30% of 18- to 25-year-old men and 25% of 18- to 25-year-old women reported they hadn’t had sex in the past year, according to recent data analyzed by Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University and author of the recently released “Generations.” Rewind to when millennials were the youngest cohort and about 15% said the same, she says.⁠

Gen Zers are comfortable with evolving language around gender and sexuality, she adds, accepting and using labels such as enby, short for nonbinary, and ace, slang for asexual. Growing up in a world where everyone has always had a smartphone video camera in their pocket, they have few expectations of privacy, Twenge says.⁠
