    Office Romance: Having A Crush At Work May Boost Sexual Desire Toward Your Significant Other

    You’re in close quarters five days a week, eight hours a day. You exchange glances, playfully tease each other, and have inside jokes. This is your office romance. Although you’re in a committed relationship and only have eyes for your significant other, you can’t help but feel guilty to get a glimpse of your office spouse. According to a recent study published in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy, a work crush can be beneficial for your relationship by increasing your sexual desire and attraction for your partner.

    Developing an attraction*and even feelings for someone outside your relationship is more common than expected. It is inevitable to be attracted to someone because of how the brain works. When you look at another person, the brain quickly processes the visual stimuli the eyes see, which leads you to instantly make a judgment about the other person’s attractiveness, according to a 2011 study published in the journal Neuroreport.

    However, those in committed relationships tend to revise this original reaction. These revisions are done to make potential partners seem less attractive. This process is known as derogating alternatives, which helps couples maintain their commitment in their original relationship.

    To explore the impact a work crush has on a relationship, a team of sexual health researchers at Columbia University, Indiana University, and the University of Kentucky-Lexington, conducted an Internet survey distributed to 160 women who ranged between the ages of 19 to 56 who were highly educated. Typically, most of these women had been in relationships for three years or longer either married or in long-term relationships to men. The participants were asked open-ended questions about their significant others and their sexual attractions.
