These days, we have a lot of men and women working together in workplaces. If employers are not careful how much they assign members of the opposite sex to work closely together, all the ingredients are there for such a recipe. This may sound draconian or controlling, but simple human nature is such that we develop strong and/or intimate feelings for members of the opposite sex if we spend enough time with them. Team projects, business trips, overtime work on a project, etc. can all lead down a certain road if the employees themselves and the employer are not careful. To quote the Good Book, "Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband... Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband... Do not deprive one another... so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. (1 Cor 7:2-5)" Even thousands of years ago, when that was written, they were well aware of the influence of time spent together and sexual relations. History, it would seem, repeats.
