26 and never been kissed - Need advice on dealing with coworkers and chit chat?

[My Self]

So here's the deal...

I'm 26 and have never even been kissed, and I'm incredibly self-conscious about it. To make matters more stressful, I'm also a lesbian. My problem is that I dread conversation among coworkers, involving relationships etc. I hate whenever the topic of men, sex, and so on comes up because I worry my coworkers will ask me personal questions about my own sex life and I won't know how to respond. Not only am I embarrassed about my zero dating experience, but I have the added joy (sarcasm) of having to come out. Unfortunately, many people don't seem to understand how a woman can know she's a lesbian if she's never been with a woman...*sigh* I guess I'm more worried about how to answer questions that would give away my lack of dating experience, more so than I'm worried about coming out. Basically, what I'm looking for is advice/examples of how to respond to those questions. Please don't say "just be honest" because I know that already, I'm just looking for ways to word my responses or dodge the questions if possible. I'd put me at a bit of ease to at least have something prepared to say so I'm not flustered and don't turn all red on the spot.

Thanks for reading.

Also, you might advise me not to come out at work, but I've found from past experiences that the stress of hiding it was too much.

If they ask you anything about your sex life or dating experience in regards to a man (implied or said), just say "I've never had sex with a man, and I never plan to. I'm a lesbian." You can switch out sex for another word depending on the question. Say it with confidence. The more confidence you show the better.

If they ask something like, "What do you like in a man?" or "What's the most/freakiest thing you've done with a man?" answer by saying "Not a damn thing! I don't like men at all, I'm a lesbian."

Now if they start asking about your sex or dating life with a woman, you can avoid everything by saying "I don't kiss and tell." which technically isn't a lie. They may try not to accept this answer, but just put on a big smile and don't divulge a thing.

Another thing you can do is answer every question in the simplest, most honest way. It may be a little embarrassing, though.

And if all else fails, lie of course.
