There are some topics we can keep off limits in the workplace without causing our employees to be "cold faceless drones". You can have lots of fun in the office without bringing sex into the mix, it causes more problems than its worth. I'm not saying that any mention of sex ever should be cause for firing, and obviously if you have a couple good friends in the office and you make some risque jokes at your own risk assuming only they are within earshot, by definition there will be no consequences for it, but if someone overhears your dick jokes and feels uncomfortable, that's your fault. It doesn't matter if the uncomfortable person is a prude, a religious nut, a super-sensitive SJW or just someone that finds sexual topics distracting, there is no reason why sex should be discussed in the office. There is a large breadth of sexual topics that very subjectively range between "totally just a joke" and "totally disgusting", and I can guarantee there are lines of sexual discussion that you might find disgusting that others might find acceptable. |

real life people work there and they might want to discuss it. that doesn't mean they can ignore the fact that they might be causing discomfort to others, and since it's a workspace where people go to work, other people's comfort in those cases trumps their desire to dicuss whatever.

yes, no surpirse there, but part of working with others involves being able to signal to them what's not okay to you, and it involves (on their part) the unquestioning acceptance.
