&lt;p&gt;Have office romances, that is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/dloos/folders/Jing/media/884ac716-c91e-4e42-b8ac-bdabec1d6d82/00000199.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;404&quot; height=&quot;277&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Vault recently polled more than 2,000 people, asking them office romance-related questions like &lt;em&gt;Have you ever dated your boss? Have you ever dated your subordinate? Have you ever had a romantic romp in the office?&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Have you ever been busted while in the middle of an in-office romp?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What the results show is that there are indeed a whole lot of folks getting busy romancing their coworkers, both on and off the clock. They also show that these romances are not all that secret.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The friskiest of all industries was found to be publishing: 92 percent of those surveyed working in publishing say they&#39;ve had an office romance. Advertising executives are not too far behind, with 79 percent reporting that they&#39;ve knocked boots with a coworkers. Meanwhile, bankers and accountants (both perhaps a bit more conservative and modest) report being slightly little less frisky while on the job: 56 percent of all bankers surveyed said they&#39;ve romanced one of their colleagues, while 47 percent of accountants surveyed said they&#39;ve been intimate with a coworker. Here are a few more sexy stats:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;bankers&lt;/strong&gt; involved in an office romance who&#39;ve dated their superior: 16&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;accountants&lt;/strong&gt; who&#39;ve dated their superior: 14&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;bankers&lt;/strong&gt; involved in an office romance who&#39;ve dated their subordinate: 20&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;accountants&lt;/strong&gt; who&#39;ve dated their subordinate: 30&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;bankers&lt;/strong&gt; who&#39;ve left their firm due to participating in an office romance: 6&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;accountants&lt;/strong&gt; who&#39;ve left: 17&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;bankers&lt;/strong&gt; who say the shaky economy has decreased their willingness to take romantic risks at the office: 33&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;accountants&lt;/strong&gt; who say they&#39;re less risky: 25&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;bankers&lt;/strong&gt; who know a married coworker who&#39;s had an affair with an office mate: 55&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;accountants&lt;/strong&gt; who know of an in-office extramarital affair: 34&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;bankers&lt;/strong&gt; who know a married or seriously-involved coworker who&#39;s had a romantic liaison while on a business trip: 44&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;accountants&lt;/strong&gt; who know a committed coworker who&#39;s had a business-trip hook-up: 18&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;bankers&lt;/strong&gt; involved in an office romance who&#39;ve had a tryst in the office: 32.5&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;accountants&lt;/strong&gt; who&#39;ve had an in-offfice tryst: 22&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;bankers&lt;/strong&gt; who&#39;ve been caught in the middle of an in-office tryst: 4&lt;br&gt;Percentage of &lt;strong&gt;accountants&lt;/strong&gt; who&#39;ve been busted: 0&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Vault&#39;s 2011 Office Romance Survey)&lt;/p&gt;
