Dear Career Vanity,
There is strong physical chemistry between my boss
and me. His body language tells me that he wants to
sleep with me, but I have my reservations. I love my
job and
want to get a raise.
Are there any advantages to sleeping with him? I
want to know. Should I have an office affair or
sex with my boss to get ahead?
Dear Get Your
Freak On at Work?
Are you any good at sex? Do you have the skills of
Superhead Karinne Stephens or possess Jenna
Jamison’s legendary porn queen abilities? Or are you
an amateur sexpot using the office affair route to
advance your career horizontally?
Surprised at my response? Though I was going to tell
you to close your legs, ignore your boss and get to
work.
Well, that’s the safest route. But I’m not judging
you on your desire to get ahead, or the sexual
attraction to your boss. I want to know if you have
any serious skills in the bedroom.
Because any boss, especially if he is a man, is
going to judge your
workplace romance skills
in the bedroom and the boardroom. And he should.
So you’re sexual positions and lovemaking better be
advanced karma sutra rather than a first time virgin
with her boyfriend in the back of a Nissan Sentra,
if you think you’re going to score any points with a
man.
Because any woman who is using the office affair as
a tool to advance her career better be a serious
professional with the ability to “create an advanced
lovemaking fantasy”, like a high-class call girl”
and separate her emotions from the act.
But you should think
about the long term consequences of your proposed
sexual escapade.
-
You will have to work with this man and your
co-workers on the job. And every woman knows
that men
gossip more
about sex than we do.
-
What if he is terrible in bed? Now you have to
pretend that he was good when he was
H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E. What woman wants to fake and
orgasm with a man she has to work with?
-
The sex will change the relationship between you
and boss. Are you ready for the cold shoulder?
Or his newfound emotional unavailability?
-
Hello sexual harassment! Do you want to get
fired if he says that you tried to hit on him?
Stranger things have happened at work?
-
Women are emotional creatures. We fall in love
faster when we have sex with a man. Unless you
are a professional whore, and I mean that with
total respect, you will get sucked in
emotionally faster than he ever will.
So if you still want to have sex with your boss
think about your
personal brand.
Think about your
workplace reputation
and the consequences of your decision.
Want to be the woman who has sex with her boss to
get ahead with a “come and get it” sign on her
crotch?
Or would you rather be the hardest working woman in
the building, with her feet planted firmly on the
ground, and a “not for sale” sign posted firmly
between her legs.
Whether to have an office affair with your boss is
ultimately your choice, sexy mama.
Even if you have supreme sexual skills and
dress really sexy at work,
choose wisely. Your workplace reputation depends on
your decision. Either way you boss will come out on
top. No pun intended.
