Sexual harassment is behavior of a sexual nature that is deliberate, repeated, unwelcome, not asked for, and not returned. The purpose is to make the victim uncomfortable, seem incompetent and eventually to remove them from the workplace.

Joking: A coworker tells dirty jokes in your presence. This does not offend everyone. If a coworker tells those same jokes as part of a pattern of hostility that makes you so uncomfortable that its hard to do your job, its harassment. If dirty jokes offend you, speak up. If you don't it will be assumed you accept them. This is true with any behavior you find offensive.

Touching. If a boss or coworker touches you and makes you uncomfortable, you must speak out. Hugging, patting, nudging with ones elbow, etc. are behaviors that some people find acceptable and some don't. Be clear as to what is acceptable to you. It does not have to be applied to everyone. You are the judge of what is comfortable to you and what isn't.
