Like if you’re a lawyer do you have clients you wish you could hook up with, if you work at a grocery store do you ever see hot customers and think about them in that way?
What is your profession and do you think about the women (or men if you’re attracted to men) you encounter while at work in a sexual way?

Without any doubt that happens for both men and women in virtually every profession. It doesn’t happen for every single person, but it’s guaranteed to happen at some point in every profession. It’s human nature
I think that happens everywhere.
Teachers I’ve found attractive. Therapists. Colleagues. Friends.
It’s worse if you aren’t getting laid, which a lot of guys aren’t.
Electronics repair technician and fuck no, the women I encounter while at work are just email addresses except with female names instead of male ones.
Teacher
A couple of the women are cute, but I’m happily married.
I’m a chemist. I consult and teach. Not really. I may notice if a woman is particularly good looking. But I’m usually thinking about the task at hand.
Chemist.
Nah. Not that they are bad looking, I’m just too focused on work to care about other shit
Anyone who says no is a liar.
I’m in a segment of manufacturing and I can go months without interacting with/seeing a woman at work, so… no.
Army.
And no.
I have fantasies but I don’t dip my pen in the company ink.
When I was working retail there were a couple I was interested in and a lot of them I just straight up wasn’t. Hell, one of them asked me to cheat on her husband with her and I honestly can’t say if I would have gone through with it if she hadn’t asked the day I walked in hungover on three hours of sleep. Her asking me went straight over my head and then I couldn’t figure out why she wasn’t talking to me for the next two months.
At my current job, it depends on the shift. When I was working Nights the two women on the shift were batshit insane (one was on a bunch of different drugs and was fucking our manager, the other throws temper tantrums and runs 100 feet crying and screaming out the door. She does that pretty regularly.) When I finally moved to Days one of the gals is literally perfect and I was working up the courage to ask her out before she just casually mentioned she was a lesbian
I’m old. I’m married. But I’m not dead.
I’m not going to name my exact profession, but I’ll say I work in office. So the answer to your question is yes to some of them. There’s likely an inverse relationship to how much I might think of them sexual and how often we interact. The more I interact with them, the less I think about them sexually because that would be problematic for work purposes. Some hot competent woman that put on a bangin’ presentation I had to attend but I’ll likely never have to work with directly? Different story.
Depends what job we’re talking, most of my time is a student nurse (I get paid on placement) so I’m not encountering people in a sexual way I have strong professional boundaries in that sense and my co-workers tend to be equally as haggard at the end of the day I.e. I am too exhausted to care about them outside of a work sense.
My main income though is through working as a glassie (pick up glasses, wash glasses, make sure the bar is running, clean and stocked, cleaning the venue and the bathroom, minor maintenance like fixing lights and changing toilet seats, opening and closing). I get touched A LOT by random guys and older women and I generally need all my willpower not to retaliate. However it is like 400 people en masse some nights so obviously I have found people attractive both patrons and workers (high af turnover). But I’m too busy to give a damn outside of noting them as cute lol.
I work in wealth management and my average client is 75… they don’t really do it for me.
I own a mechanic type business and not really.
I’m mid 40’s and married, there are women that come in occasionally that I’ll recognize as attractive, but I don’t think of them sexually. I’m pretty sure some of my guys do, but I can’t say for sure.
They are just people trying to get through their day. I’m friendly if I have to interact with them but women in our industry and women dealing with men in our industry have to deal with gross horny dudes all the time and I absolutely do not want to contribute to that stereotype.
I am a software developer. There are 4 women at my company, two are remote and probably married, so not really. The other two are interns, and I couldn’t in good consciousness think of them that way.
Although there are a lot of gorgeous women in the building I work with that have nothing to do with my company, since I work in a wework.
I’m a filmmaker and a part of the profession that it’s inevitable that I run into extremely attractive people of both sexes, but while I can identify attractive people, I’m not attracted to anyone other than my wife. I honestly don’t think about anyone else.
IT/UX. No, probably not since my 20’s. Obviously notice if someone is attractive but nothing beyond that.
(OP) I am a creep and I want to know if the rest of you go after co-workers at work the way I do…..Cause I dont want to seem like the only POS.
I’m a physician (male) and have never thought of a female coworker, regardless of specific profession in a sexual way.
As a lawyer, they take away your law license if you have sex with clients, so def try not to do that!
I work in IT. It’s an extremely male-dominated field. In 10+ years there have been maybe two female coworkers I found attractive and both were already taken.
Can’t really think of any actual customers that stand out in that way.
I used to work at an IT hardware and services company a long time ago. I hooked up with a few clients and could have hooked up with lots of others.
Not sure what it was about the clientele, but there was an abundance of women who wanted some fun.
I’m in IT. None of them are hot, at all, ever. So no.
At least once a minute.
Yes, at least the I do with the attractive ones.
There was a guy back in the day who worked at a department store. I remember him being a little creepy.
A lady bought some lingerie and when he rang her through, he said I bet you’ll fill that out nicely.
Needless to say he was fired.
Yes, I.T./Texh.
Doesn’t everyone do this? You think about Jane in accounting and wonder if she’s fun in bed or a dud?
I work retail.
I don’t even consider it. Once I clock in I exist for the company’s profit.
I work in tech
No I don’t. Work brain is strictly professional
Always.
Currently retired. Was in medical equipment manufacturing and sales. In the tradeshow setting, holy cow yes. Customers, I had a strict rule to avoid anything like that with them. Most of my business and clients now are renters and I can’t say I have had that thought. I did have a secretary that I had a lot of impure thoughts about for about 10 years.
Software engineer.
And no. I’d also advise to never mix work and intimate life. It’s all fun and games until the couple breaks up.
I work with zero attractive people
I’m a nurse – patients: no.
There have been some other nurses and the occasional NAC that spin my head.
But, I’m married. So I put it back on straight and go to work.
I worked at a grocery store in my youth. There were plenty of times in the summer I saw girls come in wearing practically nothing. My general thought was “God what a fucking gift you are. Thank you for blessing my day with those juicy thighs and cleavage.” I never considered hitting on them though. I’m working, and girls don’t go to the grocery store to be harassed.
IT Consultant
Nothing, really. Good-looking women are rare, and if there are, there is always something they do to negate their femininity. And as I like feminine women, I rarely have considered any women in a swxual way at work.
I work in construction.
Mostly I work with other men. Men with poor hygiene. I don’t find men attractive no matter what their hygiene is.
But we do get various women on site in various roles, some blue collar, some office types. Some are legit hardworking tradespersons just doing a job. Most of those ladies are not in any way shape or form attractive, and more often than not, are vocally lesbians.
Then there are cleaning ladies, apprentices, laborers, etc, that fall into the category we call “job site hot”. Meaning, in a desert of good looking women, a not so attractive woman suddenly looks a lot better. Many feed into this, and you will have mildly attractive women who have dozens of horny gross guys worshipping the ground they walk on.
Occasionally, you will get a girl at the site who is very attractive. Not just “job site hot”, but actually hot.
The rarest creature in this environment is a hot chick who is actually a serious worker. I’ve met a few and I was impressed. Unfortunately for them every time they are partnered with a guy from their company or even a guy they pay to serve as a bodyguard. Because they will be hounded, harassed, and even raped.
Regardless, from my point of view, I’m there to work, not get laid. Even if I wanted to get laid, it is astronomically unlikely any of them would want me. Plus I’m in a committed relationship so it’s just a mental exercise.
If I see a good looking woman, I admire for a fraction of a second and move on with my day, possibly make a mental note that this person may need help/prevention with a sexual harassment situation.
Yes. Gay man here. Once I had such a crush on a (straight) male colleague that I could hardly look at him in meetings
It’s normal to have feelings. We just have to try not to be creepy
I’m a server and I see beautiful women all the time. I don’t really think about them much beyond “she’s hot” because the people I serve are wayyy richer than I’ll ever be and I’m just an average dude.
It’s like when I see a nice car, I admire from a distance but don’t dare touch or even consider hopping in and driving lol
I’ve got a few women i work with that if I had met them some place else there’s no question I would have tried to make something happen but I cant afford to lose my job so ain’t nothing happening. Took me 2 years to land it and cant think of anything I could do to make the same amount without risking my freedom again or going back to school.
I’m a ML Engineer. Literally the only women I interact with at work are ML Scientists who finished their PhDs and are married
They all look drop dead gorgeous though. But everyone (men or women) at my level are much older than I am, not to mention married.
I guess that’s the dark side of tech everyone talks about
I’m a journalist. Sometimes I do get an attraction to the people I interview for my stories, but I never pursue it because I’m really sensitive to ethics, especially around conflicts of interest. For example, I covered law enforcement and there were two female officers I was attracted to, but I never pursued either one as a relationship. Although two of my former coworkers met their wives this way – one was the education reporter and he covered a story where he interviewed a teacher that he ended up falling in love with. The other was the photographer, who was on a different assignment and found one of the teachers (yes, both were teachers!) attractive, so he did something I wish I was brave enough to pull off – he took her picture, then approached her to ask for her name for the photo, and used that chance to start talking to her. Both have been married for over a decade.
Im an absolute horn dog, so yes, all the time, for almost every woman my eyes perceive, both within work and outside it.
90 employees and I’m one of 5 men that work there. I do but would never, unless..
