You've got the word right! You meant "casual" sex, but "causal" sex is correct, because, unprotected, it may cause pregnancy, disease, disruption of lives, etc., its rightness or wrongness being influenced by the answers to the following questions:
(1) Are you using protection?
(2) Do you and your partner respect and care about one another?
(3) Are there innocent parties who stand to be be hurt by your casual sex-- spouses, children, etc.
(4) Is the affair in any way interfering with your work or causing disruption in your organization?
(5) Most important, is the affair in conflict with your own moral standards and values, or those of your partner?
You, and only you, should confront the question of whether or not it is wrong.
(Jerry Lee Lewis once recorded a hit song about such an affair, titled, "Is It Wrong?" Though a former preacher, he seemed to claim he didn't know, but I think it's more likely he didn't care, for this indisputably great singer not only married a 13-year-old girl, but he didn't even know any better than to urinate on motel room walls!)

Well to you it is causal so no, however your company may have a policy against this and HR will fire both of you so you may want to look at this if this is the case. My experience of causal sex at work was that I will not ever do it again as work is not a place for play and it ended up as something more serious and with me getting fired.

Sex in the workplace can turn into a sticky situation. If one of you decide to call it quits, then you still have to see each other everyday and be able to work together. Otherwise, if you can just keep feelings out of the way and not let it interfere with your job, then causal sex it away and have fun.

no, but if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife, then that can be a problem and if your banging your boss that can be a problem too.Dont listen to the BS about how things can get awkward in the workplace thats a bunch of crap, there is nothing wrong with it if you are two consenting adults. I had a fling with a coworker several times but when I got a girlfriend I stopped. It was just sex. Don't take it for more than that and it's fine.

It's not wrong, it's just that it can develop into a problem for the following reasons:
1. When you break up, will it be difficult to work together or will one of you have to quit?
2. Will it be seen as inapropriate (Boss screwing around with his secretary) or are you more or less equals.
3. Think of the future again - what will happen if you or your mate gets promoted - - > Go back to 1 and 2 and answer again!
If you're comfortable with your answers, then go fer it!

It can potentially be awkward ... on the other hand, I married
my co-worker.
It *IS* wrong when one works, either directly or indirectly for
the other.
Whether the sex is casual or not, you need to be careful about
making others in the office uncomfortable.
You can imagine a situation where the boss calls you both
in and says "This has to change... Who is going to quit?"
Or worse: "This has to change, we need person A, but we
don't need person B so B is fired."

does that person know that you view it as casual, if no then it is wrong......it is also wrong if either of you are involved with anyone else.....and it is really wrong if you are having multiple partners unprotected.....
also wrong if one of you is in a power position at work over the other.....
however, sex or even dating at work is always a risk
because if the relationship goes wrong things at the office can become very uncomfortable......
however , if you answered no to all these and don't care about jeopardizing the work relationship...then what happens between 2 consenting adults is up to them...

Absolutely not! I had casual sex with a co worker, and we never hung out again. I see her at work all the time in the cafe to get coffe and its not awkward. We even mix in a little small talk every now and then..

Na, I don't think it's wrong however, if your job doesnt allow this just be careful but if he's married, well I think then it is wrong, let's not forget the fact that what we dont like we dont do. If non of the above are the case, no hurt to try & start a good relationship. GOOD LUCK

Consensual sex between two people is alright, but doing it at work isn't. Unless it's the boss, it will make things complicated when work is boring as heck though.
Living on the edge is fine and all, just do it outside of work
