Speaking as one who is as sexually extrovert (I imagine) as Lilith, I will occasionally be the one to come out with an 'Oh my gosh!' myself.
It is not usually the content of what people say that illicits an 'OMG' from me but the unexpectedness of the comment; that can be because I'd not expected a certain person would be brave enough to say something like that, or because I'm surprised to find someone who is as extrovert as I am.
Sometimes it's a kind of 'Oh my gosh' of relief and recognition that I'm in like minded company.
On the other hand, sometimes I will sort of feign shock for effect, although this is not exclusively in a sexual way. To give you an example, my ex always used to ask the waitress what the biggest thing on the menu was. I think this is about the worst mannered thing in the world that you can do, and it used to embarrass me beyond belief, but it never shocked me because he always used to do it. However, I would always act shocked and disapproving when the waitress was there, I suppose (although not concsiously) to show her that we realised this was 'bad form' and that my other half was behaving in that way by choice not because he didn't know any better.
Perhaps the 'Oh my goshes' you are hearing, Lil, are recognition that you've said something risque, but not that you've necessarily shocked or upset someone. In this case, I'd be studying the people's body language and noting whether they were still happy to talk to you during the current and future meetings. If so, I think you're safe to assume you haven't really upset anyone, you may just have been the one person brave enough to say what everyone else was thinking.
