Sex on the agenda at office parties
Nearly half of British office workers have admitted to getting frisky at the office Christmas party, a survey shows.
The research reveals 41% of employees have got it together with a colleague, while 13% admitted to having sex at the annual bash.
Among the most popular venues for office antics are the meeting room, the boss's desk and the office car park, with just 6% saying they had been caught in the act.
The survey by Wilkinson Sword Quattro revealed 23% had snogged a workmate. But only 45% of the 1,519 polled put their antics down to alcohol, with 52% saying they had lusted after the colleague for some time.
Quattro spokesperson Kate Taylor said: "The survey reaffirms the annual office do as the perfect excuse in which to make a beeline for the person you've fancied from behind your computer all year."
And yet while festive frolics may seem like harmless fun, a separate poll reveals the dangers of office sex.
Researchers at playingsafely.co.uk questioned 1,000 18-30 year-olds and found that two-thirds of those who confessed to having sex at their work Christmas bash did not use protection.
The research was commissioned by the NHS's "Sex Lottery" campaign, which aims to warn young people to use contraception as the Christmas party season swings into action.
It follows recent figures showing diagnoses of acute sexually transmitted infections have increased by 20% in men and 56% in women over the last 10 years.
A spokesperson said: "Christmas parties are all about having fun but remembering to use a condom can make sure they stay fun and help prevent an unwanted Christmas present. Our message is simple - use a condom."
