I was in a call with my CD and other creatives (all guys) and somehow they started joking about no sex with their wives. Obviously I felt uncomfortable. Is this inappropriate or am I being a prude?

A part of me feels like I should just chill and joke with them so I can be more included with the team. But also it feels like these kind of conversations are very inappropriate.

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there.
