For most people, being at work is either really stressful, really boring, or both, and the highlight of the day is getting out at 5pm

However, according to Sue McGarvie, a sex therapist, most people's thoughts will turn to sex no matter how boring their office is.

She reckons that a bit of rumpy pumpy is second only to food in terms of our desires and as such the workplace is sexually charged!

"We try to take the high road and be completely professional, but you cannot fight the fact that we are innately sexual beings," she explained to the Canadian National Post.

"It's the second most-powerful drive in humans after food. It oozes out in the workplace all the time."

Perhaps it's time to instigate some well-timed flirting by the water cooler?!
