TMI with your friends

In real life, how much is TOO much when talking with your friends about sex? Do you and your friends tell all when it comes to sex (like Sex And The City-- details and everything), or are you guys pretty mum about it?

 

Re: TMI with your friends

  • I'll answer my own poll. My friends and I are pretty quiet about everything. We (generally) know each other's "number" and that's about it.

     Ocasionally if we're having a wild night out and we're all drunk, then some details will come spilling out, but other than that, we don't talk about it much.

    Oops... unless if a friend is dating a new guy, one of the first questions asked is "did you sleep with him yet?"

  • Depends on the friend-group.  I have a group of gal pals and we dish on pretty much everything.  We've even had book clubs where our book of choice was once a collection of erotica and another time a book by relationship sexologist, Dr. Pepper Schwartz.  It's more PG with most of my longtime friends though.

  • Definitely depends on who I'm talking to. I have a few select friends that I'm very open with (although I don't really discuss what Ben and I do...not sure why?), but for the most part I'd say I tend to speak in generalities and not specifics. Smile
  • Definitely depends on the friends. I tend to be pretty open if my friends are and I have a few friends who love TMI. Actually, I'll joke around but not really give details. I do have a group of friends with whom I NEVER discuss sex because they never talk about it and I think they're embarrassed to. Plus, one is a virgin.

    This... almost exactly.  We don't know each others "numbers" but the group of girls I hang out with now, we don't really talk about any of it.  But alcohol helps the details flow.  I'm more open about stuff... or at least I used to be.  With MH, I don't talk about that stuff.  I suppose it's because I'm married to him and the others weren't serious enough to think it would lead to marriage, so I didn't care as much about sharing the details

  • I have one friend that I talk about it with, mostly about post baby sex and orgasms and stuff... It's nice to just talk about how I feel since having B and feel like I'm actually normal. Especially the BF part, I feel like they are more machines now since they are used to feed her and DH feels like they should still be machines AND sexual. I just can't seem to break the connection. Her and I have talked about that a lot too. 

    Otherwise, I don't talk about details with my friends. We'll talk about how often it happens, how things have changed since marriage/baby but not details of positions or anything like that.  

  • One of the truths about singers is that they'll freely discuss sex and food since vocal technique, politics and religion are off -the-table.  So for years, me and my singer-friends had very open, TMI chats.  Now that I am now longer singing, I see how odd that is in the "real world."

    So...with my closest BFF it's everything and anything...she and her DH are best friends with me and J and well, we know it all about eachother.

    With my other GFs, not so much...they tend to be more uptight about sex than I am.  And I can pretty much talk to my mom about anything, including sex, but for some reason when she tells me about her stuff I sometimes get uptight.  Bizarre, but true.

    This is how it is with a group of my closest GFs, too!
