How human beings think about, talk about, and organize around sexuality is changing. Growing social legitimization for sexual minority relationships and a more fluid social understanding of sexual identities has shifted how we bound “normal” sexuality. In the workplace, these shifting norms affect employees of all sexual identities who must make sense of new policies and complex daily practices. This paper introduces the concept of co-sexuality, the push-and-pull process of communicatively organizing around sexuality. Using this concept, we take a grounded theory approach to exploring how employees of various sexualities and in different occupations understand “normal” sexuality and subsequently organize around it. Ultimately, participants described being silenced or silencing another to maintain sexual “norms” at work.

组织性行为：沉默和工作场所同性行为的推拉过程

人类对性的思考、谈论和组织方式正在发生变化。性少数关系的社会合法化和对性身份的更流畅的社会理解已经改变了我们对“正常”性行为的约束。在工作场所，这些不断变化的规范影响着所有性别身份的员工，他们必须了解新政策和复杂的日常做法。本文介绍了同性的概念，即围绕性进行交流组织的推拉过程。使用这个概念，我们采用扎根理论的方法来探索不同性别和不同职业的员工如何理解“正常”性行为并随后围绕它进行组织。最终，参与者描述了为了在工作中保持性“规范”而让另一个人保持沉默或沉默。
