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

[CheerfulYank]

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?

In my experience, the people who rant on about the gory details are actually rather dissatisfied in the bedroom department and need constant reassuring from the rest of us that what they get up to is 'cool, wild' or 'the way to go'.
Classic example was a friend of mine who would shag anything with a pulse and had us all believe she was a complete wild sex kitten with a ferocious appetite for shagging - she then later confessed to me that she had never had an orgasm in her life.

i always think those who talk sex+++ gettin none

CheerfulYank, tell her all about a crazy twosome you had with your DH when she brings it up.

for the record, I do not indulge in any kind of arse-stretching behaviour, and most certainly not publically

< suffers from morning-after-after wine feeling >

< cringes as opens "threads I am on" >

Great thread! Anyfucker, you made me laugh again!!

OP, I also think that this friend of yours is not has happy as she makes out. Her H will stray, of that I have no doubt.

no4, I agree

I feel sorry for this woman actually, a massive boundary has been crossed here

Yapping too much about how great it was, just smacks of insecurity and "protesting too much"

Yes, it definitely is a case of crossing boundaries and there is no going back from there. The relationship will not last.

Oh I hate oversharers..make me feel uncomfortable..also people who ask me about my sex life...uptight, moi? Maybe!

No Fanjo I hate it too, when it gets too personal, and diagrams and flow charts are produced, tallies are kept.

It's not an Olympic competitive sport! I don't need to tell you, and I don't really need to hear (in anything other than the loosest detail) about your love life.

Telling me you've spent the night with someone new and exciting and lovely is enough - I prefer to imagine the rest for myself thanks!

A friend of my MUM's once said to me, when i was going out with DH for evening..."oh I'm so jealous, you'll be able to come home and have lovely sex"...I was ..I didn't know her that well!

Oh dear, I agree with Belgo's post right at the beginning there. THis was a way for her H to shag another woman. As AF says she's protesting too much to make herself believe that she's really ok with all this.

2 women and a man threesomes are usually a male fantasy!

Oh gosh this reminds me of one of my most squirm making experiences.

I had a flatmate, and she asked me to help her change the bed, she had injured her back so I said, yes fine, normally we didn't help each other change our own beds.

Anyhoo, stripped off the bed and the bottom sheet was the most amazing set of various stains, like a Rorsauch test! I was a bit yuk-embarrassed but she started blithely pointing to each stain and telling when, how, the position, length of time, with distinct pride.

I moved out a bit soon after that, but really, if you had thrown that bottom sheet at the wall, it would have stuck there.

It is yukky, so YANBU.

Also, yes, if your friend is going on and on about it she seems to want some form of validation.

Once the same friend entered into a threesome, once it was at a open air concert in Kew gardens and a colleague from work said "Christ, throw a bucket of water over them", he proceeded to find someone's champagne bucket and do just that.

The champagne had already been drunk, I add.

that colleague sounds great!

If sex was an Olympic Sport, then the English would come second. LoL

Who would be first then?

the Scots

Wearing their tartan Jock straps?

no...wearing nothing under our kilts

Fanjo - Not in my experience!

better than the english, in my (limited of course ) experience!

just kidding

"Oh crikey, You ARE brave! I don't think I could do that, I'd be so worried that he found her more attractive than me. Or enjoyed it more, or she was better than me. I admire your confidence and how secure you feel in your relationship that you don't feel like he's comparing you."

[evil]

next time she says it say " oh a threesome? really? oh you hadn;t mentioned it" and then eyeroll so she is under no illusion that you are bored of it.

or just give her really disgustingly intimate details of imaginary sessions you and your dh have had. when she says urgh tmi you can say yesm, exactly, now do shut the fuck up about your own sex life please

Scoff and tell her you had a menage a un
