In UK, one in five has sex with colleagues

SPICING UP WORK

 

In UK, one in five has sex with colleagues



London: For Britons, it seems that the term “job satisfaction” has a whole new meaning, with one in five admitting to sex at work.
   A recent survey in Britain has revealed that one out of five people has had sex at work — in fact a quarter of men would consider selling bodies for money while one in ten women would sleep with someone to advance their career.
   It found that almost half of all Britons (49%) have had a one-night stand, with men (57%) more likely than women (42%) to have done so. But a generation gap was revealed, with more than two thirds (64%) of those aged between 25 and 44 having had a one-night stand, compared with just 24% of those aged 65 and over.
   Moreover, according to survey commissioned by the Observer newspaper, one in five Britons does not believe that monogamy is desirable, while three out of ten actually do not think that it is natural.
   The survey of over 1,000 adults also found that people remained socially conservative on some issues with 45% of Britons feeling gay couples should not be allowed at all to get married.
   Surprisingly, the survey found that almost one in four Britons (24%) believed homosexual sex should be made illegal, a one per cent increase in the proportion of people who believed this since 2002, the British newspaper reported on Sunday. Likewise, there were indications that Britons are losing their virginity earlier than in previous years.
   Among the 65 plus age group, the average age at which virginity was lost was 19, while the average Briton (41%) loses their virginity between the ages of 16 and 17. A third of people in fact lose their virginity before the age of consent.
   Three out of four Britons are satisfied with their sex life. There is very little difference between the genders or age groups in this respect. AGENCIES
