Abstract: Abstract Perhaps the oddest thing about sex is that we can now all talk about it a great deal, but still “do it” under very restricted circumstances. Serious newspapers have therapists telling it to us straight. Sex education is mandatory in schools. But sex at work — talk or action — is a serious no-no. We can talk about, and are encouraged to accept, numerous variants of sexual preferences, but sexual jokes or conversations remain something you can’t discuss or practice in the office. And the act of “fun and frolics” in the office is really very, very unacceptable … even at the Christmas party in the stationary cupboard.
