Quickie in the work place

It's the whole grey's anatomy/scrubs myth the nurses and doctors hook up on the job. Is it true or is it not? I'll leave that up to you guys to decide but just like any other job such as office jobs and things of that sort, there are always the wild ones.

Just think about it. 12 hours especially if your working nights. A lot of these doctors are there for a lot more than 12 hours. They practically live, sleep, eat in the hospital. They even have sleep rooms with beds! What other job would make it so easy to have sex if you wanted to? I'm just saying. Then you have young fresh single nurses. Everyone in the medical field generally is not shy to talk about "private parts". We see them/touch them all the time. That usually is not a barrier. 

So, what is it about hooking up on the job? Maybe someone you have been eyeing for a while. Someone that you have been flirting with. Hell, maybe it is your husband. My deduction is the moment has to be right. It's usually never planned. It's in the moment. People enjoy the rush of the idea that its taboo to have sex in the work place which makes it THAT much more exciting. The person may not even be someone you will ever sleep with again let alone date. It's an experience at the end of the day. 

I know A LOT of nurses or healthcare people that may read this and may think I am crazy for even talking about it but, I am a young nurse and have only worked at university teaching hospitals that tend to be young in general in terms of doctors and nurses. I have heard all kinds of stories. 

I am not here to put anyone on blast because whoever those persons maybe enjoyed that moment. I am not here to judge them. We are all grown adults. I'm sure this happens everywhere. Every job. Take firefighters for example. They are known for having sex on the job. They have beds too! I know of a person who worked at a fast food restaurant that had sex in the walk in freezer. People get creative.  

Don't be so uptight if you're feeling uncomfortable reading this. It happens. EVERYWHERE. Professional jobs, professional people and non professional. We are all sexual beings. Sexuality doesn't discriminate depending on profession, status, money, race, or color. If the time is right, the situation is right, and there is an attraction there is a strong chance it will go down. 

This is why I simply don't understand why people in the media blow things out of proportion like the senator ( I won't name him) that was "sexting". Now, I know he was married and everything but, if you paid attention that wasn't what the big frenzy was about! It was simply about the fact that he sent scandalous photos of himself to ladies. It's hard for me to believe that at least half the people criticizing him about it are not guilty themselves of sexting. 

I guess the take away message is, if talking about sex or being sexual makes u uncomfortable you have to figure out why. I am not saying go out and have sex at work. Just learn to get comfortable with yourself. This is just an interesting topic that I thought I would discuss because it does exist and it does happen. Keep it classy folks. 

Until next time.
