Sex in the office may sound exciting but in reality it can bring problems. So, what should you do if you find yourself having sex with a co-worker?
We spend most of our time at work. This means that office politics can be your best friend or worst nightmare. If you get along with everyone, it’s wonderful. But if it progresses and you have sex with a co-worker or even have sex at work, you can take something wonderful and make it horrible.
There’s a reason most organizations discourage coworker sex – sex and work don’t mix very well. How can you concentrate if you’re thinking about a quickie somewhere in an empty office?
Some companies go so far as to discourage sex with a co-worker, you could lose your job if they find out there’s a romance going on.
How often do people have sex with a coworker?
A survey found that 11% of people have had sex with a colleague in the office. That’s right, they’ve worked in the cleaning closet, have it in the office, or even have a blast on the conference table! And 4% of them even brought someone from outside the office to fall in love with.
A surprising number of people actually find their true love at work, too. According to another survey, 31% of people who have sex with a co-worker eventually get married. This is higher than the percentage of people you meet through friends *11%*, online *10%*, or at school *8%*.
While this sounds like a lot of fun, it’s important to note that 14% of people who have sex in the workplace were caught and faced consequences. That’s not a huge number, but it’s a lot more than zero, and that doesn’t include reactions from coworkers.
Why is sex so popular in the office?
We all know that having sex in the office is a great fantasy. This is why a lot of porn videos have been created around the same idea. If you work in an office, chances are you’ve thought about this before.
But why? The truth is, this fantasy is so appealing because it’s one that many people can relate to and make come true.
Is having sex in the office really worth it?
If you’ve started a work-based romance and are fantasizing about having sex in the office, a few things may be running through your mind — and we’re not talking about whether you should have sex on the copier. Or not.
You’re probably wondering about the policies you’re violating and whether or not you’ll be fired from your job.
SK Professionalsis sleeping with a coworker
Don’t get us wrong—there are benefits to having sex with coworkers. A great thing is that you get to hang out with the person you have romantic feelings for on a daily basis, getting to know them and giving them your complete attention.
So, what are the main plus points of having sex in the office with someone you work with?
1. You see them every day
2. You get to know them better
The foundation of any good relationship is knowing someone and what makes them tick. When you work together, you see how a person handles stress, keeps a cool head *or not at all*, and how they are in good times and bad days.
It helps if you ever want to take peer sex up a notch to a permanent relationship.
Some things about the people we sleep with are better left unknown. For example, it’s not very attractive to see them screwing over someone for a promotion.
3. You’re more excited about going to work
Going to work to see their bright shining face *and other assets* while you have sex with a co-worker is a dream come true. Think about how often you go on dates, you get to do this every morning!
4. You can combine sex and teamwork
Working as a team is even better when you celebrate good sex! Plus, teamwork lets you bond with someone and makes sex more enjoyable.
5. Hiding around can increase some excitement
The fun of having sex secretly is something else. It’s like coming back to your parents’ house with an old boyfriend or girlfriend and having a quickie.
6. You get to brag about sex with your coworker
Coworkers talk about each other in private, let’s be real. If you hit on the hottie at work, you get bragging rights. Yet it can also cause jealousy. If you sleep with a co-worker someone else in the office is being influenced by you, they may find out and it could cause an uproar.
7. It can help you find your life partner
Not all peer sexual relationships end on bad terms. Many times you meet the person of your dreams at work. Some jobs are temporary. So if you’re in a relationship with someone, it might be worth it to take a chance on finding love while you’re in a job you don’t really care about.
The average person goes through many workplaces throughout their life, but you only get one life partner. You never want to look back and think that you didn’t try it because it was against the rules.
8. You get a chance to live out your fantasy
Many people have fantasies about having sex in the office, and you should check it off your sexual bucket list! And even if it doesn’t turn out as great as you expected, you’ll still say that you made it happen.
9. It can help you concentrate better
Some people are unable to concentrate on completing their work when their sexual energy is too high. If this sounds like you, you might actually benefit from having sex in the office.
It can increase your work energy and get you back on track by getting rid of that distraction. Then, watch your productivity levels soar!
10. You’ll feel more relaxed at work after work
If your desire is to have sex in the office when everyone else goes out for lunch, you will feel much more relaxed after lunch, and it will be much easier to handle the work.
11. Your confidence will increase
Anyone who has a little sexy secret is always more confident. If you’re fooling around at the office but none of your coworkers know, you’ll start to get a confident edge that’s really powerful.
Of course, confident people take initiative and show that they know what they’re doing – qualities your boss will love to see in you. And when they see how confident you are, they’ll be more willing to assign you bigger projects and potentially give you a promotion.
12. It brings you closer to your partner
Having sex in the office actually requires a lot of effort from both you and your partner. Getting there at the right time, staying calm, and then leaving them unattended requires some skill and planning from a savvy person.

Disadvantages of sleeping with a co-worker
On the other hand, there are several reasons why your inter-office relationship may not be worth the risk. For these reasons you should think twice before taking off your clothes and wearing them at work.
1. You may lose your job
This is the worst possible situation to sleep with a coworker. Many, many companies have policies regarding this, and in most cases, it is completely prohibited.
Having sex in the office is a huge liability for the company. Yes, it might be hot to do it across that wooden desk, but if you get caught *or if word gets out and eventually reaches your boss* it could also get you fired.
2. Your reputation may be tarnished
3. You may miss out on a big promotion
If your boss gets wind of the rumor that you’re assaulting somewhere in the building, he or she will also lose respect for you, and that alone could cost you a major promotion.
It is possible that you are good at your work and have worked hard. But if you’re sleeping with someone at work, you may have to kiss it goodbye.
4. You will ruin the fantasy
5. It may affect your future employment prospects
If you get fired from your job for having sex at the office, it will be really hard for you to get another job.
6. You will get easily distracted
Having sex in the office will completely change the way you look at it. You may get distracted thinking about when you had sex there, and you won’t get as much work done.
Over time, your boss will notice that your productivity levels have dropped and will want to know why. You can’t tell them the absolute truth, can you?
7. You may have to be very quiet
Many people do not like to remain quiet during sex. In some ways, it ruins things and distracts you from being entertained. That is why many people would prefer to do boning at home.
8. Stress and anxiety can spoil the mood
To some people the idea of getting caught may seem like a major turnoff. Still, many people find that they will be too nervous and disoriented. In that case, sex won’t be fun.
Do’s and Don’ts when sleeping with a co-worker
As we’ve established, sleeping with a coworker can be a lot of fun, but it can also lead to a lot of drama. So before you get hot and heavy, there are a few things you should know and some basic rules to follow so you don’t get burned.
1. Calculate your risk, and proceed slowly and carefully
Don’t get too intense too early. Get to know the person you’re interested in and understand what it is about them that really excites you. Is it really so? Them Are you attracted, or is it just the situation?
2. Be honest with yourself and your coworker
What do you really want from this relationship? Do you want a long-term romance or just a sexy fling? And what about the coworker you’re having an affair with?
Make sure you are clear and honest about what you expect from the relationship.
Also, even though relationships may end suddenly, you should protect your career by starting over responsibly. It is important to accept that no relationship is guaranteed to last and to discuss how you will handle yourself if it ends.
3. Don’t tell anyone about it unless you’re serious
Also, be very careful with what you post online. Once something goes online, it is very difficult to take it back. Especially if things go south. You may be happy to announce that you’re together, but do you really want them to know when you break up?
4. Accept responsibility if you get caught
If you are caught having sex with a coworker, the best thing to do is admit it. Don’t try to deny it or make excuses. Just be honest and apologize for any trouble you may have caused.
If you’re honest, your boss or HR department is more likely to be understanding and less likely to punish you. Or, they may decide to take disciplinary action, such as a warning or suspension, or even firing.
5. Respect your coworkers
You know how they say, “You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family”? Well, the same applies to your colleagues too. You may not have chosen to work with them, but you get to choose how you interact with them.
Don’t assume they want to know about you having sex with a co-worker. They are not your best friend, and they have a right not to know the dirty details of your personal life. Sometimes, it’s better to leave things on a need-to-know basis.
6. Don’t have casual sex with a co-worker
It’s all part of being careful and thoughtful. Don’t risk ruining your career for nothing. If you’re thinking about moving in with a coworker, make sure it’s not just for one night. It’s not worth the risk of making things awkward at work just for the sake of one night of fun.
7. Stay away from married coworkers
Responsible Sex 101: Don’t have sex with married people. The same applies to having sex with a married co-worker. Ever seduce someone who…
