I agree with Cloud, just show biz.

Of course, hot tea to the 'nads or the taco is uncomfortable in the home environment also.

Warm feeling, yeah, but everybody notices too.

:3_eyes: Especially when you ejaculate -- a comment, a comment! -- upon it.

I don't believe people become 'desexualized' just because they go to work. There are always going to be attractions in the work place. Sometimes they go both ways, sometimes only one. It's the 'one way' attractions that end up becoming sexual harrasment cases.

When someone's not interested, most people get the idea pretty quickly. A few don't.

Incidentaly, I once left a job because one of the managers kept learing down my top and when I told him to stop, he made my life hell.

I was young and stupid. I should have reported him. I did not.

Or not worn a bra to make him nuts.

Well, I was too innocent and naive back then to think of anything except getting away from the situation. This person was a famous sporting personality at the time and so it would have been a big scandal if I'd said anything.

The reason I think I should have reported it is because I have since found out that he did it to women before and after me. For all I know he's still up to the same tricks.

Arsehole.

Cow Orkers

Something odd happened at the last place I worked.
I had been in management before and had extensive EEOC training.
So, once I was in management, I stopped all "borderline" activity/speech.
My coworkers, new and old, all knew me, started acting in a very strange way... then a few asked why I was being "stiff" or did not "laugh at _____'s joke", etc.
So, I told them.
That did not seem odd.
What happened next did.
Some stopped talking to/around me at all.
Some became very raunchy around me.
Some came on to me often.
Some stayed the same, but sometimes asked if their behavior bothered me.
Only a few stayed the same with no changed and all of them had been in management from somewhere else, usually a government job.
What is the deal?

Don't flirt on the job, don't talk about sex and don't ask if someone's pregnant.
It's very simple.

I don't care if my workers are sexualized or not, they need to channel that energy into their job if they are so wound-up.
