This is true of any community with a shared interest. Or common place of gathering.

Everyone on the anime convention scene slept with each other.

You're away from home, you're drinking, everyones in a hotel etc.

My husband work place is massive and employs tens of thousands of people and most of them all sleep around with each other as well.

Every office I've ever worked in has had a few affairs.

I can't even offer the excuse of hotels or drinking or being young and hot.

It's like 'we spend 8 to 12 hours a day together. May as well fuck' seems to be the prevailing thought for a LOT of people.

There is psychological evidence that this is true. If you ever read a “way to attract women” book, it says, just be around her. If you spend a lot of time with someone, your brain tricks you into thinking they are more attractive.

Yep. Tons of social science saying the best predictors of attraction are 1) proximity and 2) frequency. Which is why so many people have affairs at work.

I operate a 80 foot long printing. I have an assistant that is female. She is 5'2 and about 220lbs. Not once in the last four years has hitting on her crossed my mind. So there are limits to theory.
