Some things you just don’t want to do, and other things can be done if you do them right. Spending 40 hours a day in one place is bound to lead to some sort of attraction, so in order to help out a reader I’ve made a short list of do’s and don’ts of the office romance. Keep it on the low. It’s okay to let people know you’re involved but you don’t have to broadcast it in a mass email or memo on company paper. You don’t need to turn the whole office into a front row seat for your relationship.

Go to lunch together. Lunch time and breaks would be the best time to display affection. Make out in the car off company property and enjoy each others company. Include others. Every relationship should come with a sex of relationship friends. Use work to build those friendships, because it gives the couple a chance to interact with others and avoid awkward bias later. That way you don’t end up looking like two people who only know how to whisper at each other by the copier.

Talk electronically: use text messaging to converse with one another while at work. If you are always at your lover’s desk it will give the impression that you are not working. The boss will not like this and it could lead to policy changes. Keeping things discreet helps you keep the job and the relationship from becoming office gossip. A quick text can say more than standing around for ten minutes pretending to be busy.

Stay late: when there is an excuse to stick around the office, do it together. The later it is, the more likely less people will be in the office. So since this is a sex blog the more likely you can have sex in the office. Oh yeah!!! Timing matters, and quiet hours can make everything easier if both of you can handle the risk. Just don’t get so comfortable that you forget where you are. A little thrill can be fun, but a dumb mistake can get expensive fast
