I exposed myself and kissed a married coworker at our holiday party.

We've all been there - that moment when we look back at our actions and cringe with embarrassment. Whether it's a cringey chat with the boss or some questionable dance moves, faux pas at work Christmas parties are not uncommon. But for one reader of this week's Sex Column, things went a little further than expected.

At her company's festive celebration, our reader had a wardrobe malfunction that was more X-rated than festive. And to top it off, she ended up kissing a married man. Now, she's facing the consequences of her actions as her colleagues are giving her the cold shoulder. The thought of going back to the office in the New Year is filling her with dread.

But before we dive into the advice, don't forget to check out last week's column where a dad-of-two is unsure whether to take his wife back after she left him for another man.

Let's get to the problem at hand. Our reader had just started her first job and was getting on well with her colleagues until the Christmas party. She was amazed at how free everything was, with the bosses handing out drinks and nibbles. But as the night went on and the top people left, things took a wild turn.

Admitting that she loves to dance, our reader let loose on the dance floor. But at some point, her blouse buttons came loose, revealing her bra. In a moment of carefree abandon, she continued dancing and even took it a step further by stripping off, encouraged by some of her male colleagues.

To top it off, she ended up getting together with a colleague who kissed her passionately and groped her, until one of the girls informed her that he was married. The next morning, our reader felt embarrassed and was met with the cold shoulder from her colleagues. When she tried to apologize, she was met with hurtful comments about her behavior.

Now, with the holidays over, she's dreading going back to work, feeling like she's ruined everything with her drunken antics.

Now, let's dive into the advice. First of all, it's important to acknowledge the embarrassment and regret our reader is feeling. But it's also important to remember that everyone has their cringe moments in life. Maybe a few drinks caused her to let loose, but it's never a good idea to drink to the point of losing control.

It's also important to address the behavior of the colleague who kissed and groped her. Depending on the level of intoxication and consent, this could be considered sexual assault. Our reader should take some time to reflect on the situation and determine if she wants to take any further action.

But assuming that she was aware of her actions, it's best to let the situation go and move on. Our reader has already apologized, so there's no need to keep bringing it up. Instead, she should focus on showing her colleagues her hard work and dedication, proving that she is a valuable asset to the company. With time, people will move on and the incident will be a thing of the past.

In the end, we all make mistakes and it's important to learn from them and move forward. Laura, our columnist and counselor, encourages anyone facing a sex and dating dilemma to seek expert advice by sending their problem to her email. Let's all learn from each other's experiences and help each other through difficult situations.
