Two German women who work at the Federal Labor Office used their office e-mail to complain about their partners' sex drive, detailing the failed methods they had tried.

Then one of them pressed the wrong button and forwarded the e-mails to other colleagues in their department.

The e-mails, written by Anica G. and Christina S., were then forwarded to thousands of people throughout the Labor Office and other government agencies.

One of the women, 21-year-old Anica G, tells Bild newspaper, "Everyone stares at us now and whispers behind our backs."

The womens' e-mails have now been widely distributed throughout Germany, with many recipients forwarding them to other people.

Anica says that she and Christina did not break any rules, as the e-mails were written during breaks.
