to not want to hear about my friend's threesome?

So, a friend of mine and her husband had a threesome with a female acquaintance. Whatever, they're consenting adults and I have no say as to what they do behind closed doors, but AIBU to want them to keep it there? My friends and I talk about sex, obviously, but I feel like this friend is sort of bragging about it in a "oh look I'm so cool and edgy and sexy" way, which is really annoying. I told her that I didn't want details, and yet it still seems to show up in the bulk of her stories. It makes me want to avoid her, but her husband has just been shipped overseas and I feel like I need to be there for her. I'd just, you know, like to do that without hearing about her bedrooms romps with her husband and this other woman! :)

So, AIBU?

What I want to know is did the girls just indulge him or did they have a go on each other as well? Shock

Jamieandhismagictorch · 20/08/2010 13:15

Why are threesomes never with two blokes and a woman? I'd like to hear more about that

cupcakes - cheerfulyank is in the US - it's only 7am for her - I'm sure she'll be along in a bit :)

Is bumsex clever?

Smoking and swearing are cool and clever, as any 15-year-old knows. I'll stick with them, thanks.Grin

OP, your friend is either sounding you out for their next 'experience', or offering herself to you and your DP in case you feel like experimenting.

FellatioNelson · 20/08/2010 14:05

I would not want to know.Shock I'm reasonably borad minded but threesomes and moresomes don't do it for me AT ALL. Just the thought brings me out in self-conscious hives.Shock

I talk frankly about sex in general terms, but never specific/personal. Maybe sometimes I'll drop vague details about a long-past relationship, but I never give gory details about a current one. Never have done.

FellatioNelson · 20/08/2010 14:07

I don't mind hearing about things on here though. That's different. No self-conscious hives - blather away ladies!! Grin

Greensleeves · 20/08/2010 14:08

LOL at thread title - yanbu, but I don't want to hear about it either! Grin

BusyMissIzzy · 20/08/2010 14:11

Hmm, I wonder if she's always felt a bit prudish/repressed (maybe even subconsciously), and is compensating for that. Reminds me of an old workplace, where conversations always used to always turn to sex. I got the impression it was because everyone was so desperate to disprove a stereotype (we were scientists, btw).

Alouiseg · 20/08/2010 16:05

Whoever said bumsex isn't clever is a liar, I find it to be a feat of biological impossibility.

Therefore I am am extremely unclever.

AnyFucker · 20/08/2010 16:55

it sounds like you have put a lot of research into finding out that conclusion, Al Wink

Nemofish · 20/08/2010 17:09

Threesomes, pfft. Tell your friend that was a clever way to try and prevent him straying... Where is it he's been posted to, again? That should shut her up pronto. I have done the cool, edgy, sexy I'll do anything just don't leave me' bit, it wasn't worth it and I am happier being me. I am one woman, not 4 lesbians, two dwarfs and a barrel of custard, deal with it dh.

Group fisting is where it's at now, everyone knows that.

AnyFucker · 20/08/2010 17:37

I attend group fisting parties

My DH is very popular...he has rather large hands

LucindaCarlisle · 20/08/2010 17:41

Surely He would be much more popular if he had small hands?

AnyFucker · 20/08/2010 17:45

no, no

it's the bigger, the better

I love a good streeeeetch myself

juneybean · 20/08/2010 17:45

I'm really sorry but I would like to hear all about it. Next time does she get to have two men? I would have so many questions your friend would never want to discuss the re-match!

FellatioNelson · 20/08/2010 21:43

me too teacake! There's whole world of stuff out there I'm better of not knowing about.

Hi all, sorry I took so long getting back. I think what it is, is that she's gained quite a bit of weight since having DC (and so have I, so no judgement here!) and never wears makeup or anything (again not a big deal) and is just, and I feel like a total bitch saying this, generally not all that atrractive. So she always goes on and on and on about her crazty sex life, maybe as a way of saying "oh I'm not a size 2 but I'm still fanciable!" or something.

Case in point of details: The Other Woman (I'll call her Jane) was at a goodbye party for my friend's husband that my DH, my brother and I attended. The other day my friend mentioned Jane in passing and my brother said, "Oh who's that?" My friend immediately started in on, "Oh she was the blonde at the party. She had a great tan...and really great boobs...really sexy looking," and so on. I was like, um, you could have just said the blonde who wasn't Cheerfulyank.

It's not the details themselves, I guess, just her reasons behind it that get to me. Yes yes, you're so cutting edge, now can we set up a time to go to the playground with our kids or what?!
