There are a lot of myths and ‘rules’ floating about out there – and an awful lot of the ones relating to sex are directed at women.
Quite frankly, most are false or misleading.
MYTH 1: You should never sleep with someone from work.
Two-thirds of us meet our life partners through friends or at work – why should you be any different?
Take refuge in the fact it’s not even your fault!
New studies show close proximity breeds lust. Repeated exposure to practically any stimulus makes us like it more (the only time it doesn’t hold true is when our initial reaction to something is negative).
When we spend a lot of time with someone, our brain releases attachment hormones, which make us want to hang around pretty much permanently.
This actually isn’t a bad thing.
Couples who meet through work have a much clearer idea of what they’re getting themselves into.
After all, you’ve seen your partner react to all sorts of stressful situations during your average working day.
As for employer’s fears, most are unfounded: what better way to get employees to turn up early, stay late, look fantastic, willingly sign up for all extra curricular activities and generally beam their way through the working day?
And even if the affair ends, most flirtations fizzle out with remarkably unspectacular endings, as opposed to the fury of resignations or ruined relations people worry about.

Yes thanks for the insensitive attractive woman comment and how many partners she's had. Apparently I'm attractive but have had no reasonable suitors for long term relationships and I'm over 30. So I guess that would make me unattractive? And there certainly are not enough single men around to have 2 short term relationships every year unless I am trolling the bottom of the barrel.
Point 2: a typical attractive 30-year old woman has had...
Maybe be a bit more sensitive with your language. Does this imply that if you have had less sexual partners you are not typic nor attractive? I'm nearly 25 and still a virgin. I also do not know anyone who has come close to having that many sexual partners!
You do know people who have had that many, you just don't realize you do
Agree. I've had the general conversation with friends and you're lucky if you find someone that's hit double figures.
Typical attractive? Charming. How about average estimate of partners? Not everyone starts sleeping around from 16, and we shouldn't be encouraging it either! 25-30 partners in 14 years??? Wtf?
