As I was saying to your other gross, now deleted comment... Context matters.
I can talk with my friend, in great detail, about sex. Outside of work. At work, it's inappropriate for the same reasons that talking about religion or politics can be. It will alienate people and make them uncomfortable.
But when that extends to have masturbation rooms at work, or your superiors bragging about how great they are at sex (lol), then it crosses a line. A pretty obvious line, to me. Even without the boss undressing. How do you not see that allowing the former sets the culture and leads to the latter? there are power dynamics inherent to the workplace and sex that are undeniable and unignorable if you care about an equal, respectful workplace.
No one anywhere has said "sex is dirty" and it strikes me as a pretty flagrant straw man.

It will alienate people and make them uncomfortable. In some cultures (e.g. Southern Mediterranean), people are not alienated by talking about "religion or politics" at work either. In fact people do so frequently. See, not everybody shares the cultural constrains of your own culture...
- colemickens 8y agoThanks for ignoring the entire point of my post to nitpick a single part of a sentence to advance your same point without addressing what I said. I think I'm done with this thread. Enough toxicity for one day.
