Sex at work? No big deal...

Although you could be forgiven for thinking romps at the office were simply the stuff of US sit-coms, it seems sex in your office might be a bit more common than you think. What’s more surprising is the number of employees who are all for it.

A recent report by Business Insider has revealed that 84% of employees think sex with colleagues is fine, with 55% admitting to doing so. Ninety per cent of those who confessed to office place affairs said they were glad they did it.

Here are some more stats that Business Insider uncovered:

  • 64% felt managers shouldn’t be allowed to have sex with their subordinates.
     
  • 35% admitted to sleeping with subordinates.
     
  • 14% said they slept with their boss.
     
  • 92% believed HR don’t need to know about any workplace relationships.
     
  • 74% said they’ve been hit on by colleagues...
     
  • ...And 64% admitted to doing it.
     
  • 48% of those who had slept with a co-worker did so at the office.
     
  • 71% said it didn’t impact their productivity.
