Friends group brag about sex lives !!??

[User112]

I have a group of friends who I met through a hobby last year. I’ve been on a few pub evenings and a couple of restaurants with them. I also went shopping with them a few times. Fun bunch, and there is always a lot to chat about. We are all late 30s.
So one weekend, they all had a sleepover as the friends DH was going away on a business trip. I was invited, but couldn’t go. I heard they had a ‘wild’ time and they watched porn. WTF !??

Something changed ever since. Every conversation leads to discussions about sex lives. Discussing things in detail, sharing “tips” and even bragging! it makes me very uncomfortable 😳

Does anyone else do this !?

@incognitoforthisone exactly
You don't like it find a new friendship group its really that simple

Urghh. That sounds awful. A group mentality where individually, they wouldn't be comfortable oversharing about their sex lives with partners and are pleasant people (it's disloyal to do that), but when they are in a group and drunk, they do it anyway.
Beware of people who will change their behaviour against their better nature due to group pressure and alcohol/drugs. They are easily led.

I have friendship groups in which sex is discussed quite openly. We've never sat and watched porn together because that's a massive step way too far into weird!

Find new friends then. They can do what they want as long as it is legal. Sleepovers and watching porn still is.

Yuck, I would find this uncomfortable. My boundaries of friendship are being crossed. Are all the women married/straight?

I can't imagine a situation where I'd be comfortable watching porn with friends.

@worriedatthistime I’m with you. I wouldn’t be comfortable watching porn with friends and we are incredibly close but it’s nothing to do with me what others do and enjoy. I understand that other people have different views, personalities and interests and live differently. As long as it’s legal and not hurting anyone - crack on.

Saying that, I do have sleepovers with my friends when husbands are away etc. We’re late thirties. We get wine, eat food and watch movies and then crash out on a bed rather than getting a taxi home (which would cost a fortune). I don’t think that’s weird at all. Just practical.

Sounds more like a gaggle of immature girls . Do they usually engage in laddish behaviour? Are they the kind to go to see "dreamboys" or similar as a group ? Or is this a reverse and it was actually a wife who was away ?

@User112

I’m thinking it’s the late 30s hormonal surge !??

Nah, they are trying to play "cool girl". That can happen at any age.

Weird.

I have two main groups of friends that I've known for years- some since early twenties and some since school. We haven't talked about our sex lives since we were about 25 (and had more exciting sex)

Anyone who is talking about it, ain’t getting it

Another sleepover party (movie night) is being planned for the bank holiday weekend. 3/8 are on a holiday, so it’ll just be a smaller group.
It’s very disappointing I’m considering not going because I quite enjoy their company, and sex talk to a certain extent is fine too. just that the details (positions, preferences and habits) make me uncomfortable.
