Quite interestingly, a recent study conducted by Gleeden;
an extramarital dating platform with over 1 million active subscribers in
“The workplace is where nowadays grown-up individuals spend most
of their time. It is also where the most of our social interactions are
concentrated. “Solo-interactions”, because the time spent in the office is not
usually shared with the partner / spouse. That’s why it’s easy to understand
why so many affairs begin in the workplace: contingency, closeness and
frequency. Lovers who meet at the office are almost always colleagues who work
together, who share projects that sees them work closely and who see each other
every day. They have high chances to build a deep bond that can easily turn
into attraction and (eventually) love” says Ms. Sybil Shiddell, Country

Sex at Work – Crossing Lines
In addition to being a place where sexual scandals are rampant,
officesare actually the root of several sexual fantasies and sexual adventures.
This is primarily true for men. The study has revealed that 54% of men, as
opposed to 30% of women, have already fantasized about their colleague.
To put things in perspective, almost 12% of the participants said
that they have indulged in flirtatious exchange with a co-worker with an
underlying intent to seduce them as soon as they meet. It’s the men,
specifically, who find the idea of getting down and dirty with a work colleague
quite luring. On top of that, about 20% confessed to having fantasized already
about a co-worker they had just met.
Office Sex –Numbers are Huge!
As per the recently conducted survey, it turns out that sex at
work is possibly rifer than imagined. Numbers are riveting. Almost 36% have
admitted to having had sex already with a colleague, while 28% confessed that
they had a sexual intercourse with their co-worker in the office itself. Though
some prefer to stick to flirty discretion, many take the plunge for it without
any reluctance.
Work: a high-risk area for couples!
The study showed that a quarter of couples met their better half
in their professional spaces. But if workplaces have led to beautiful love
stories, they have also become places where people tend to get adventurous and
indulge in extramarital excursions.
The numbers are intriguing, to say the least. 27% confessed to
seducing a co-worker who was already in a committed relationship at the time.
And the vice versa has been true for 17%, who admitted to cheating with someone
at their workplace when they themselves were committed. 10% have ended their
relationships to get in bed with the one they met during their professional
assignment.
Summing Up
Whether one
likes it or not, affairs are here to stay. This very instant they are happening
everywhere – be it at one’s workplace, in the neighbourhood or maybe somewhere
within families too. In majority cases, they might end up in hurt or betrayal
but that doesn’t stop people from venturing into it.
