"since no one will want to be the first one to make a move."

It's a work environment, not a bar. No one should normally need to make a "first move" in this context. Sure, work romances do sometimes happen, but I don't think our population is in any danger if they do not.

"work romances do sometimes happen"

A quick google suggests that 38% of people have dated a co-worker.

That ignores the fact that you've hired human employees. Maybe chemical castration should be a part of the onboarding process these days?

Contrary to other animals humans are capable of keeping their instincts in check. In fact one could argue that this ability is what elevates humans above other primates. So being a human with a sex drive is no excuse for calling others MILF.
