Why is sex forbidden in the workplace?

its natural, none of us would be here without it. Some people take 15 to take a dump on the clock, why cant I take 5 for a quickie in the back room?

People were going ape shit when I was in HS because I was bringing Love Hina manga to read for SSR(silent sustained reading). People thought I was bringing porn, and I had to keep reminding them that porn doesn't get rated 16+.

I didn't, it was in response to this: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/alaska-school-board-deems-great-gatsby-other-famous-books-controversial-n1194436

"If I were to read these in a corporate environment, in an office environment, I would be dragged into EO," an equal opportunity complaint proceeding, Hart said. "The question is why this is acceptable in one environment and not another."

Its not like theyre banning the books, just not having them be part of the curriculum. The article even says the books are still available in the library for students.

Lol this isnt even about erotic material

"If I were to read these in a corporate environment, in an office environment, I would be dragged into EO," an equal opportunity complaint proceeding, Hart said. "The question is why this is acceptable in one environment and not another."

"Caged Bird" was derided for "'anti-white' messaging," "Gatsby" and "Things" are loaded with "sexual references," "Invisible" has bad language and "Catch" contains violence, according to the school district.

Oh no! Sexual references! Violence! Those poor highschoolers.

I dont think people are ok with it when it comes to women either. When Fifty Shades of Gray was a big fad my workplace at the time told everyone that it was not an appropriate book to read at work and it was obvious they were directing that largely at the women employees.

Which is utterly ridiculous, in the same kind of ways as abstinence-only sex education programs are.

At least women doesn't have to deal with erections if they happen to get aroused though.

Yeah, there was a Humble Bundle a while back with a zillion of his books for $15, so I said what the heck, why not. The titles alone were worth the money.

Reminds me of the time (1987) a friend of mine was smuggling stolen Playboy magazines to school and I was holding the booty in my locker because he didn't have one.

He was asking $2 a magazine and I got 50 just for a holders and storage fee.

After about three days somebody snitched and it all got confiscated.

Not that I read erotic literature at all, but this would be a situation where the Kindle Paperwhite would be ideal.

I don't pull out a Kindle as a conversation starter, I pull it out to read. If you want to know what I'm reading, go fuck off.
