One in five young women in Britain would sleep with their boss regardless of whether or not she fancied him if it meant certain promotion.

A survey of 5,000 women with an average age of 21 by More magazine also found that almost one in ten (eight per cent) had actually done so.

It also found that eight out of ten hoped they would be able to give up work if they had children.

My wife has. Yes, my wife did this to get promoted after I was laid off at a different company. And, yes, she did get the promotion, has done this before, and will do it again if given the opportunity. We have a good sex life, I know this goes on, and in todays economy, it is sometimes necessary, if a family is to succeed. She enjoyed the experiences, I enjoyed being told of them, and the aftermath, all ways. By the way, she has also gotten pregnant by a supervisor, accidentally, of course. I had to bend a little more to deal with that one. But I still love her deeply.
