Cigarettes?
Call the smoking police.

Sex in stairways = Bad.
Sex in Boardrooms, Waiting Rooms, Training Exam Rooms, Human Resource Rooms (but after hours only!) = Good.
From the sound of the reports from Forbes and others; they won’t be around long. Somehow these companies keep popping up that raise hundreds of millions in capital and really don’t produce much besides “industry buzz” for a couple of years.
Outrageous!! next they will ban drinking on the job. I wouldn’t stand for it.
It was a real problem. So, they came up with a novel solution. They began serving fresh donuts at break time.
The problem then went away.
Sex in the Hallway? Nothing new, the coarsening of our culture continues. I had a conversation with a head-hunter / contract employee type. The stories he told would curl your hair. Like the 19 year old Nympho that said they could fire her for having sex with a lot of co-workers in the restroom because it wasn’t on company time it was her lunch break. We are so Fubar’d...
Reminds me of the Little Caesars commercial, THERE ARE NO RULES, puts shirt back on THERE”S ONE RULE!.
George Costanza asks, "Was that wrong?"

I used to work for a place like this with a free beer fridge, loud music playing, etc. The owners wanted young people they didn't have to pay much, and acted like a frat house to get them. It produced exactly the quality of output you'd expect.
Lack of ethics will doom a group or company. Kinko’s had raging parties in Las Vegas in the 1980’s involving drugs. The top management wrote a letter about how drugs and alcohol will no longer be tolerated in 1990. The hippies from the 60’s finally felt remorse. Fed Ex bought the company and all the stores are now just large mailing facilities.
I remember reading Herb Caen in the SF Chronicle about how stuffy people are against intimacy among co-workers in the office. Caen really was a rich, unhappy loser.
Maybe the company is just spreading this rumor, hoping to recruit geeky guys, desperate for sex.
Interview with the founder (2002). He was an old BBS hacker. The first thing he noticed about the internet was, it was just like a BBS, except it had more content and it didn't matter what your area code was.
Reminds me of a lot of companies i used to vist during the dot.com boom of the late 90’s early 2000’s as a computer tech...
