Work Sex is a subtrope of MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces, when two characters decide that their site of employment (of all places) is where they want to do it. It may ''seem'' unprofessional, unhygienic and most of all uncomfortable, but there's no arguing with why characters enjoy it.
The trope can intersect with ProfessionalsDoItOnDesks, however Work Sex refers to any place in a working environment where characters have intercourse. The environments that the trope takes place in are usually storage rooms, private offices or bathrooms. Sometimes the characters are successful, other times they're [[InterruptedIntimacy interrupted,]] and they don't always get caught either. The trope is not applicable in workplaces that actually have beds, i.e. on-call rooms in hospitals. Nor does it apply to pornography sets, hotel rooms, or professions that require they go to someone's residence (i.e. PizzaBoySpecialDelivery).
Compare with DeskSweepOfPassion, OfficeRomance, SleepingWithTheBoss. Not to be confused with [[TheOldestProfession sex workers]].
