I don't think I've been asked this sort of thing at work. It reminds me of how I learned, from this forum actually, on the Love & Dating section, or maybe it was the Social Skills section, that men who never discuss women, how hot they are etc. are at risk of being accused of being homosexual. As a result, I increasingly remark, in groups of friends, that I find certain women hot, or sexy. But that's a different setting, and the OP's question is still highly inappropriate for most workplaces. Except for a workplace like, for example, a haulage contractor, where such topics are normalised. I don't know how I'd react if asked this at work. Maybe I shouldn't be too offended, and be casual and open and be myself about answering, since avoidance of such topics would be seen by such questioners as effeminate, mangina-like or homosexual.
