Seriously, how can anyone know how much sexual experience did you have?

When you've known the same people for over two decades and you don't show up to social gatherings with a woman on your arm, they can figure it out.

My advice: If you have an opportunity, learn to dance.

That would work against me. Not coordinated enough, and I wear size 15 shoes.

Not coordinated enough

Unless it is a health problem that cannot be fixed, this seems like another good place to start. And it's totally uncontroversial. You could start by visiting a physiotherapist and asking them: "uhm, I'm generally uncoordinated, and I was wondering if it can be fixed". They are people who study this stuff all their lives; if they can help a victim of some horrible accident, they can probably help you too. And even partial results may be worth it.

And when your coordination improves, people are likely to notice that "something is different" about you, although they will have no idea why. There is no reason to tell them truth, because this will provide beautiful "evidence" for any story you might decide to tell them instead. (Or just blush and say "sorry guys, this is private". And if they start torturing you, admit that you are fucking a married woman, so you must be 100% discrete.)
