“What do you think about sexual relationships in the workplace?”

The Gay Perspective

Office romances can be complicated. The important thing to understand is whether you are in a relationship or just boning.

As long as you possess a high level of maturity, you shouldn’t have a problem being in an office relationship.

There are upsides to office romances. The most important is, depending on your career, you may share similar interests with the person you’re involved with.

If you’re having buttsex with someone you work with, that is your business. Do what you have to do, but be aware that you might cause awkward situations if you stop having buttsex.

You still have to see each other after things end between you.

If you were just having sex, you need to make sure you still be as professional as possible.

You shouldn’t be in a real relationship if you’re not adult enough to handle what that entails.

If you think you’re grown-up enough to be in a relationship in the first place, you should be grown-up enough to not bring your drama into the workplace if things aren’t going well.

That makes things awkward for everyone around you.

Professional reminder: Although it is your business who you are involved with, you should inform certain people about the relationship to help avoid conflicts of interest.

Example: You are working with someone and you deal with money or material items in some way. You should inform your superior so they can put one of you into a different area so you won’t ever be put in a position to cover up a shady situation. Even if you are upstanding people, appearances are everything.

You should really never put yourself in a position to influence the other person’s success in more than a personal way.

Always remember one thing: never get into a relationship with someone in the workplace out of convenience.

Once you add convenience as the reason for being with someone, y’all just be bonin’.
