Please consider that your colleague could be put in a position of legal liability, just to satisfy your kink. It is one thing, if a consenting partner or parent takes on that liability, but a co-worker, that could be problematic.

Also if you get harmed during your experiment and it turns out that the keys were locked in a compartment inside your employers office, that could be damaging for the reputation of that company and could make you legally liable.

It of course depends on your local laws, but I assume most jurisdictions have similar laws in that regard!

Considering that kink seems to be a major motivator for your own lockups, I would argue that what you are proposing amounts to involving a person in your sexual fantasies without her consent. I would not consider that appropriate behavior, in fact I would be hard-pressed to consider putting control of your genitals into the hands of a non-consenting stranger acceptable even without the sexual motivation.

    Angelina first of all i would see it as a risk to leave the key at work, it can be very dangerous.

    Another risk is that all one need do is read the manufacturers name off the lock box and look on Amazon where it is quite likely one can buy the same box and it will come with the same keys. They have very simple locks. I bought a Taymac and can now control the heat/cool in the workout room we use for track practice.

    The problem here would be that someone could steal your keys easily, even if they did not know what they were for.

      something else. don't you think it would be better not to mix such private interests with your job? it's just a thought, but i would always try to separate work and private life, such sensitive things simply don't belong in the daily work routine.

      audioguy58 … putting my keys in the plexiglass thermostat box and locking it …

      Obviously, any sensible employer is going to say no to such an arrangement, but a lot of the people who work here are not very smart! 😂

        youdontknowme … what you are proposing amounts to involving a person in your sexual fantasies without her consent. I would not consider that appropriate behavior.

        I’ve encountered this kind of “liberal puritan” attitude before, and I consider it extremely tiresome.

            audioguy58 and I consider it extremely tiresome.

            well, he's right though, i think everyone should always be in the loop, i wouldn't like to participate in other people's sexual preferences without knowing it either.

              audioguy58 but this isn’t just about witnessing. You’d be asking her to take an active role in your sexuality, and there’s no need for her to have to deal with that at work just because one of her employees thinks she’d be good at it.

                audioguy58
                Yeah, we can argue about the ethics of exposing your belt any day, and my stance on that is quite a bit less puritan than most. But consent matters, and surreptitiously turning a coworker into a play partner behind their back is anything but consensual.

                  I think that if your fantasies do not disturb to anyone, you can include in those to anyone.

                      Ines I think that if your fantasies do not disturb to anyone, you can include in those to anyone.

                      but not without the person's knowledge. i certainly wouldn't want someone to use me for their sexual interests without telling me.

                          Ines
                          It is not just dreaming if he manipulates her into doing things that arouse him. This is very much like peeping on a person or going through their used laundry for panties to sniff - as long as she never finds out, no harm done, but when she does, there is a pretty big chance she is going to feel violated.

                              youdontknowme
                              No, no.
                              I am talking about fantasies without disturb to anyone.
                              Since his fantasies disturb her, I am against it.

                                  Ines A boy can dream with a girl.
                                  Since he never distubs her, for me is fine.

                                  yes, but fantasising about someone or dreaming about erotic things is different from involving someone without her knowledge.

                                  Ines Since his fantasies disturb her, I am against it.

                                  then excuse my accusation, i understood it differently

                                      audioguy58 its not liberal puritanism, its you expecting her to accept and take part in your fantasy. That's putting a lot of weight on her, even assuming she consents.
                                      I dont see how you can consider us being concerned for a woman is puritanism. you're imposing your desires on her. If you want her to do this you should discuss it with her beforehand - she may say no, she may say yes which would fulfil your fantasy.

                                        And I find the level of concern trolling here rather excessive as well.

                                        I feel that I have no choice but to put this idea on indefinite hold.

                                        At work, we’ve had some personnel changes, and some changes in scheduling as well. Unfortunately, these changes have not worked in my favor.

                                        Additionally, business has been relatively robust, so it’s not as though we’re standing around with nothing to do.

                                        Under the present circumstances, I feel I have no choice but to put this idea on indefinite hold.

                                        Even before the latest changes, I had already decided that overnight or long-term storage of the keys at work was probably not a good idea.

                                        I still would not rule out having Jenna place my keys under seal for the duration of the current work shift, if the planets were aligned just right, but unfortunately we seem to have lost the favorable alignment that existed just a few weeks ago.

                                        Perhaps the concern trolls had a valid point or two.

                                          audioguy58 Perhaps the concern trolls had a valid point or two

                                          This is very immature of you.

                                          Please reflect on your fantasies (maybe after jerking off so you have more clarity in your mind). You are involving strangers (yes, your co-worker is a stranger in that setting) without their consent in your kink. You are putting yourself, the company and your co-worker in a tight legal, social and moral spot without their consent. And now you are being off-putting to people trying to warn you about very inappropriate behavior.

                                              audioguy58 Perhaps the concern trolls had a valid point or two.

                                              well, normally i wouldn't reply at all when someone calls me a concerned troll, but there is a solution to your problem. talk to jenna about your inclinations, ask her if she wants to be your keyholder and respect her decision, then all is well. 🙂
