By: Kratika Mon, 25 Apr 2022 1:08:06
People like to make jokes about having a work wife or husband. If anything, it just shows you all the subtle signs of sexual tension between coworkers.
Usually, we like to think that we have our feelings under control. And no one else will be able to sense that you and your coworker have some crazy sexual tension.
But here’s the thing, unless your office is full of sexually inexperienced people, everyone knows. Sorry to break it to you, you’re not going that good of a job hiding it.
# You’ve had sexual thoughts about them
Now, it’s normal for us to look at people and momentarily think about them in a sexual way, but with them, your thoughts last for minutes or way more. Usually, you’re aroused by the end of it. But this may only be one-sided. However, it does show that there is sexual tension.
# There’s a bunch of awkwardness
When you talk to each other, it’s more awkward than anything. Okay, you or the other person could just be awkward people, but usually, when there’s sexual frustration, it’s because you’re both trying to contain your sexual desires.
# There’s some touching
Not in a brotherly way, I’m talking about flirtatious touching. Aside from eye contact, you’re touching their arm, they’re touching your lower back, putting their arm around you. In other words, they’re not acting like they’re just your coworker. If anything, they want to end work early and take you home.

# People are making comments
Listen, here’s one of the signs of sexual tension between coworkers that can’t be avoided – if other people notice something going on between you, it’s true. There is no way that other people would comment if they’re not feeling the sexual tension. And don’t assume that others can’t tell. You’d be surprised at how observant people are.
# You just want them to kiss you
There are these moments where you’re standing across from them or they’re sitting next to you, and you’re thinking, can you just kiss me already? I get it.
They’re looking at your lips when you talk and you want them to swoop right in. Listen, don’t let the vibe fool you, there’s some tension going on.
