I've got my 22 year old sister staying with me and she likes to talk about sex. Not in a dirty slapper kind of way and not in front of the kids or anything, but just in a way TMI kinda way that makes me feel a tad uncomfortable.
I've never thought of myself as particularly prudish, but maybe I am? Or am I just getting old and boring? Is it normal to talk about this kinda stuff all the time?

LOL in my younger days me and my friends always ended up on the subject of sex - how do you do, have you done, whats the best etc... I think it was just a way of learning what to do without feeling stink about it. Now being an old hand (LOL yeah DH wishes) don't talk about it unless its to say the lack of need/want of it to know you are not alone.

I used to talk and joke freely and openly about sex all the time, but I think, maybe it's age, maybe its cos I've "settled down" or grown up, but I just don't think its appropriate now? I don't think you're a prude, maybe you've just "grown up".

I don't think you prudish maybe it's more of a case that been there done that so you don't feel the need to talk about it all the time anymore.

I agree with the "grown up" concept, I am far from prudish but now know how to use my discretion with these kind of topics.

Yeap, definately an old, boring prude Emma

Just kidding! I've never been one to discuss those types of topics and probably never will. It is probably an age / stage thing for her and now you are settled with a man and babies you're in a different stage.

Maybe it's the novelty factor? Maybe when the novelty has worn off and sometimes reading Harry Potter, watching a movie or just plain old sleeping seems more attractive than sex then talking about it is also not the amazing topic it once was....

LOL Emma I don't think guys wanna sit around and talk about sex anyway!

Not sure about the answer to your question. I guess she's starting out, maybe?, and still has lots of questions... who knows! I certainly talk about sex a lot more on here than anywhere except my bedroom!! haha

I used to be very open about it when I was young and 20. Mostly with fellow 20 somethings who weren't getting any either. Now we are old and retired from the single dating game, with partners/husbands and children. We all know who we're sleeping with each night and the novelty has worn off.

When she finds someone she cares about she wont want to openly discuss it.

I would enjoy living vicariously thru someone younger, they seem to have far more exciting lives, than me.

Same!

and I agree with what was said before re. novelty. There's only so much you can talk about after you've been with the same person for the last 10 years (or maybe I'm doing it wrong? )

And like I said at lunch... I'd like to think that if I had a problem in that area that I would feel comfortable enough to talk to my close friends and seek advice/support and would certainly turn to the "old hands" in the first instance.

I used to have a friend in CHC, on our 1st meeting she asked the group of us in the pub what was our fav postition........she was a very over the top person.

I think it depends on the individual, if they are comfortable with the person maybe they are seeking advise/help?

I have been with my DH now for 11 years and we have plenty to talk about

It maybe that it's just your sister and that aint comfortable for you to talk with her I know it's true for me I would never talk about it with my brother or sister but can with a very close friend

I am sorta comfortable about talk about sex, but sorta not. Probably way too over the top for some of you... but then I guess I'm selective about who I talk to about it. Actually, probably just my friend Niamh. She's the only one I'd even vaguely mention something about it to!

depends who i am with i guess....a close friend and i can talk about it, people i dont know so well it would depend on what in particular it was about = and since being married I dont have the real personal conversations i used to have...

eg the one i had quite a few years back when i told a GF that the guy i was dating was hung like a porn star! - Yep married life changes your conversations somewhat!

I'm happy to talk about it and i actually think there should be more talk about it. The young ones get in trouble because we dont talk about it enough. Talking about it doesn't make you want to do it. Open and honest, that's what I think.

However in saying that, I understand that many people feel uncomfortable about talking about it so I respect that (mostly) and dont talk about it. Mostly.
