Don’t get caught
According to http://www.cracked.com, sex at work is number five of the list of “Worst Places to get Caught Having Sex.” It falls behind sex on a crane, in a drive-thru, in jail, and on the railroad tracks.
How to make office sex a secret according to http://www.ehow.com

1. Choose private locations that have low pedestrian traffic or are out of the way. A remote supply closet, a vacant office or a seldom-used stairwell.
2. Lock the door. Co-workers have a tendency to show up even in the most remote and unused locations.
3. Check the room for security cameras. If there is one, either cover up the lens or turn it off.
4. Have sex after hours to reduce your chances of getting caught.
5. Look for alternative locations close to the office: in the basement, on the roof, or in the car.
