Are you the only one at work who’s not having an office romance?

The article argues that sex between colleagues and at work may be more common than many employees or employers expect, with the office Christmas party presented as a particular occasion for encounters. It uses a humorous, provocative tone to discuss workplace boundaries and the possible effects on office life.

It cites a 2018 SaucyDates.com survey in which 90 per cent of respondents said they had had sex at the office; 26 per cent named a private office, about one in seven a storeroom and 13 per cent the toilets. Another survey said 39 per cent had a sexual encounter with a colleague at the Christmas party, while a study reported 63 per cent of IT staff had kissed or had sex with a co-worker at the annual event. The figures come from surveys and may not represent workers generally; the supplied article text ends mid-sentence.
