DanE	Is everything related to sex in the workplace ‘harassment’? No. As the Supreme Court said in a June, 1998 decision, "Sexual harassment under Title VII presupposes intentional conduct." The prohibition of harassment on the basis of sex forbids only behavior so objectively offensive as to alter the "conditions" of the victim's employment. As the Supreme Court reiterated in June, 1998: "in order to be actionable under the statute, a sexually objectionable environment must be both objectively and subjectively offensive, one that a reasonable person would find hostile or abusive, and one that the victim in fact did perceive to be so." Courts determine whether an environment is sufficiently hostile or abusive by "looking at all the circumstances," including the "frequency of the discriminatory conduct; its severity; whether it is physically threatening or humiliating, or a mere offensive utterance; and whether it unreasonably interferes with an employee's work performance."

Jakob the Liar eats Gumbo Shrimp	If you're close enough friends, sure. But if you're uncomfortable, you should at least point him in the right direction. Suggest a book, good counselor you know, etc. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

anne_advice	I don't think it would be a good idea. It could back fire. Never know. Best advice you could give is to say you don't know. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Decizion J	If the co-worker is asking and you feel like they are trustworthy int he sense that they wont rat u out then yes, that is cool. I have done it before. Some people just need help and if that person asked you then, they must feel comfortable enough around u to ask. Now if they don't ask don't u offer cause there are to many people in the world filing sexual harassment and you don't want to offend someone that you thought was cool with it. Hope this help Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

admiralgill	depends on how you do it. First of all the ground rules. Do so when you are NOT at the office unless there are times you are alone there and can not be overheard. If you are a woman you can tell him the things that really turn you on, a man, things that have worked well for you in the past. Probably the best abvice is 'You should really talk to your wife and see why you are no longer on the same page in this area' that is the sort of advice that is totally safe and encouraging communication, something most guys dont do well even with the ones they love, can not hurt and almost always helps. I wish someone would have helped me before I wasted an additiona 4 years in a relationship that was dead. 30 minutes of talk would have fixed me up to know it was already dead. Oh and if you go out to do the talk, make sure it is not to someplace that is too loud or too romantic. It could be a ploy to get you alone and experiment on his own. Last thing you want to be is the office ****. Guys talk about thier conquests, dont be one (probably less of a problem if you are a guy but still....) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

siciliansizzla	try but don't be pushy. nothing freaky either that creeps people out Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

THE great answeroni	ARE YOU A FKIN SEX THERAPIST>>>>PROB NOT SO NOOOOOOOOOO Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Scott F	He's feeling you out for a sympathy shag. Tell him firmly but compassionately, "How difficult it must be for you," and leave it at that. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sexydiabla592	only if your married or have plenty of experience on the topic. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

maysy29	No just give her a Maxum Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

numba1armywife	I think you should especially if they are not interested in you. I see no harm in helping someone to feel better about themselves if you have that ability. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rje46805	only if he asks you to, dont go up to him & start giving him advice. what works for you may not neccessaraly work for him, so, no do not do it unless he asks you! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

redheadedtess	Run!!!! Do not do it! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

xxkittenluvxx143	If he is telling you he is either asking for help or expressing he isnt happy and may be interested in you. How long have you known the person and ask if he wants advice before you give it.. I'm sure its fine Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Binky	Most likely not, I would guess it depends on how well you know this person. Although, you may want to stay out of a person's marital affairs. You wouldn't want it to backfire and he come back to you with an attitude, or you wouldn't want his wife to find out. She might have a problem with her husband having that kind of conversation with anyone but her. My advice would be to tell him to talk with his wife. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rose bud	probably not. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

+++++ SPOOK ++++	JUST TELL HIM YOU DON'T CARE!! HE CAN GO TELL HIS WIFE ABOUT IT. AND MEANWHILE HE CAN MASSAGE HIS OWN BALLS!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

musiclicker	He is after you! No man in his right mind would talk to a co-worker about his sex life with his wife. Tell him to go get therapy along with his wife, and that you don't feel comfortable talking about that subject with him. Unless you cut this short you are going to be caught up in the middle of something that you might wish you had stayed out of. If his wife knew you were talking to him about their sex life you can bet there would be trouble. I too have a woman as a best friend, but I don't talk to her about my sex life with wife. My wife don't know about this woman being my best friend, and I'm afraid to tell her, but i love my wife and my friend knows this and respects this. In a way I think my wife knows, but I don't make an issue about it, and I don't talk private stuff with my friend. If my friend was my co-worker, I don't think I would talk to her like that anyway. You are headed in the wrong direction at 90 miles per hour, and if your are not careful you will be in deep trouble with a lot of people including your boss! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pucho	if he is your friend why not!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Johnny C	No way. Listen to Kiki. You don't want to be trapped. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

izzydwight	no i think that will get around to other co-workers , i think you shoulld keep it work related Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shy&gental	If your a woman, stay out of it!!!! You know where he is going with this, and you are not a very good, kind, sister to women if you go there!!!!!!!!! Thats just pathetic!! However......... If you are a man....... go for it, what ever advice you can give to your brother, hand it over, at least he loves his wife and wants to make there sex life ignite in fireworks again, I think that is romantic and his wife is lucky to have him. He obviously thinks alot of you as another man to even ask for your advice, so I would do it out of kindness, and being impressed that love in a man (your case, another man for a woman) does exist and I would want to help my friend with whatever info I could supply. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jt	If his wife knew that you were handing out advice, I don't think she would like it. Maybe just to be safe, you should stay away from this one. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Starry Eyes 511	I wouldn't get involved. If something you say gets taken the wrong way or overheard by the wrong person you could get into a lot of trouble. It is inappropriate for a work environment. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

downsouthcpl2932	That is it I am done with you putting our personal business on the web like this. I am NOT your co-worker I am your husband and you think this funny!!!
