She understood it was teasing, and didn't take it as a slight against her. She was just taken aback that our sex life would be a topic of jest among strangers in the first place, and might have been slightly suspicious that I had interjected our sex life into board discussions. I explained the larger context that the joke had been made precisely because it was a sudden departure from the typical AG character, such as it is. But it wasn't a problem beyond momentary awkwardness.
We're pretty old fashioned, and don't hang out with people who regularly josh each other about sex quality or quantity except in the impersonal or abstract. We don't run with a "Whassamatter, the little lady not performing her wifely duties? Har-har-har" crowd.
On the other hand, we regularly talk about genital self-discovery with our priest. Go figure.
