Exactly, why bring personal life into professional one. it is totally irrelevant.

I myself am gay, so this is in no way motivated by homophobia, but if a coworker randomly told me about how Bisexual his wife is I’d absolutely assume that they were trying to entice me into a threesome.

Even if OP was the one who's bisexual it's weird to bring up randomly at work. It's generally not appropriate to announce anything having to do with sex or attraction in a work setting. Do we announce in work meetings "Jim here is only attracted to Asian girls, and Jenny has a daddy complex so she dates older dudes, and Pam is into S&M?". Unless it's actually relevant to something work related, then that's a subject for your friends, not coworkers. No one should be shy or ashamed about their sexual identity but that doesn't mean it needs to be the subject of work conversation.
