Based on the way you act here I would be surprised if anyone had questions about your sexuality.

Aside from internal team building events and the annual Christmas party, I choose to basically disengage from all social interaction with my coworkers. Occassionally, we go to lunch and talk about work or maybe hunting (I don't hunt so I don't contribute there). We certainly don't talk about sexual conquests. Unless you are married, I can't think of any way sexual preference could be appropriately inferred in small talk at work. My career has not been harmed in the slightest.
