A survey conducted by Businessweek revealed startling results about sex at work. Vast majority or 84.6 per cent of the 2,500 respondents favoured colleagues belonging to the same company being allowed to have sex.

The views reflect the liberal attitude of the current generation toward sex in general and office romance in particular, or to be more specific, sex between co-workers.

While majority think nothing wrong of consensual sex between employees who work in the same company, 36 per cent frown if those involved is a manager and a subordinate, whether the link is direct or indirect.

An even larger number or 90 per cent admit to being sexually attracted to a colleague, but only 64 per cent had hit on a co-worker and 64.5 per cent dream of hitting the sack with another employee from the same firm.

But only 54 per cent had actual sex with a colleague of which 55% had done it not with just one, but several office mates. However, it appears the encounters were likely one-night stands since only 17.6 per cent said their sex with co-workers was frequent.

The good thing is most of the workers or 86 per cent avoid having sex with the boss while 35 per cent of the bosses did it with a subordinate.

Almost half of the encounters happened actually at the office premises. But 71 per cent insist the tryst had no impact on their productivity and 84 per cent said it did not affect their careers.

In a further confirmation of the liberal outlook toward having sex, 90.5 per cent of the respondents were even glad to have sex with their co-workers.
