Just checking: what is the normal amount of s*x talk a work?

Question

I am normally a quiet person and I am a L*****n. Sometime I hear talk at work of a sexual nature. Usually something like (someone asking someone else other than me) "Do you smoke after s*x?" I'd rather not hear about anyones particular s*x habits. However, I don't know what's considered normal and accepted as far as this talk goes. How far does it have to go before it's unacceptable?

I don't consider myself a prude, and I can tolerate this sort of thing. But I am wondering where the limit is, because there may come a time where I get bothered by it.

Answer 1

h**l, if it bothers you, then move away or politely, or any way you want, tell them to shut the **** up. The "acceptance" varies from person to person. Some people can go into detail about their s*x lives without a notion in their head that it's wrong or unacceptable. It's whats up to you not the social stereotype.

Answer 2

Due to sexual harassment lawsuits in the past, most companies have stated that no s*x talk is acceptable. It has nothing to do with your sexuality it just has no place in the workplace.

I know for me it would make me uncomfortable and I am straight. No I am not a prude. One thing I would do is kindly ask them to refrain from that type of conversation. If they do not want to respect your wishes, then contact a supervisor.

Answer 3

s*x talk isn't appropriate at work.  You should report these people to your supervisor.
