In Reply To: Please don't bother to respond if you're just some moralist, but I have a practical question. My boss, who is somewhat attractive and desirable, has strongly implied that if I sleep with her she will see to it that I will get a raise. I'd like to sleep with her, and I'd like to get a raise so it seems like a no-brainer. But I am somewhat concerned, as I will have to be working closely with her in the future. I've had enough complications from sex in my life to know that at work it will probably be worse. Also, if the story gets out there could be other ramifications. Should I risk it?
Message: If you do sleep with her, take pictures as insurance. That way you have a bargaining chip if she decides to stab you in the back.
