The extensive research shows that workplace romance is thriving with one in four people
having sex with a work colleague, increasing to one in three among those
who are currently in full-time work.
Tell us if you have had sex in the office and if it was with a work colleague.
Did the relationship last or was it a one-night stand?
The Observer Sex Poll 2008 in the UK reports that men in Britain are more likely
than women to have had sex with a colleague (29 per cent and 23 per cent respectively),
and they are also twice as likely to have had sex in their place of work.
The research also showed that 31 per cent of Britons would at least consider selling
their sexual services for money, and 17 per cent would sleep with someone
if they felt it would further their career.
Among those who are currently working full time, the sex poll states that 22 per cent
would have sex to further their career.
This decreases with age with younger employees far more likely to consider furthering their career
by having sex (29 per cent of 16-24-year-olds).
The research also found that among those who have previously slept with a work colleague,
35 per cent say they would have sex to further their career, suggesting there may have been
an ulterior motive to some of these sexual encounters.
Other interesting parts of the survey, perhaps particular to the UK, 27 per cent of British men
have either visited a prostitute or would consider doing so in the future and nearly one in three Britons
would either "definitely" sell their sexual services or "consider" doing so if the amount on offer was large enough.
The report was based on a survey of 1,044 UK adults aged 16 and over
who were interviewed by ICM Research in September 2008.
