ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces the system of sex and sexuality in the workplace. This is the third of the three instinctive biological systems added to Bowlby's two of careseeking and caregiving. The importance of sex and sexual identity evolves as we develop as people, and without doubt certainly belongs in the model. It was this system, amongst the systems for the internal and external environments, which especially attracted to the model in the first place, and inclined to wish to use it for the workplace. Different theories draw different conclusions on when sexual maturity actually happens in relation to one's chronological maturity. It may be reasonable to say that sexual maturity is reached in twenties but that all depends on the caregiving, careseeking, management of fear and attachment experiences in the years before. Drawing only on policies around inappropriate behaviour and sexual misconduct as guidelines fails to deal with the complexities and nuances of sexuality.
