A new survey has revealed that one in 10 workers have admitted to having sex in the office.

In the poll, conducted by leading office design company Maris Interiors, it showed that 11% of employees surveyed had got intimate in the work place, while 7% stated it's something they do regularly.

Statistics also showed that 44% of men said they would consider an office liaison, while only 27% of women said it appealed to them.

Human Resources partner at Maris Interiors, Claire Walker, says, "For the 11% of people having sex in their office, I would recommend trying not to get caught! You may well be in breach of your employment contract if you're thought to be bringing the company's reputation into disrepute. And even if your job is safe, it will make for pretty embarrassing chats around the water cooler!"
