It really depends on what was said. It is always advisable to not discuss sex or your sex life at work for the reasons you cite- someone can get offended and it can become a sexual harassment claim.

You can not sue for mental anquish, especially because it sounds like you did what you are accused of doing- discussing your private life at work. HR is most likely conducting an investigation by talking to others at work about any such disucssions you may have had with them.

And I have been advised that "coherse" really means "coerce".

And "fictituos" is actually fictitious.

Is possible to sue those people for mental anguish and emotional distress No.

and is possible thast the conversations I had with the guy could turn in sexual harrasement?? Maybe. That's up to your employer to decide.

You would be very well advised to keep your personal business and tales of your weekend escapades private in the future.
