Hen party brunch - is it normal for women to over-share like this?

I’m genuinely intrigued as to whether I’m just a bit blinkered or if I’m in the minority with this sort of thing.

For my friends hen yesterday, I joined her and about 20 others for brunch and other activities. I didn’t know everyone there, with a mix of old school friends, Uni, work colleagues etc.

The drinks were flowing as expected and some of the women sat close to me turned the conversation onto more sexual matters. In no particular order, they covered - penis sizes of their other halves, favourite positions, oral preferences/techniques, their best former ‘shags’. One even complained their current partner is too passive and she’s considering leaving him as she just needs a ‘good f’ing’.

There was also topless waiters and two of the girls were speculating who’d have the biggest penis and be the best in bed.

I’m no prude but the line has to be drawn somewhere, and hearing how a certain position makes someone ‘squirt’ is beyond the pale for me.

Is this normal behaviour?!

I don’t even talk about stuff like this with my best friends of 30 years

Same it's so gross to do this

They sound crass and immature. People of couth don’t discuss such things in groups.

As I said I sat there unsure as to when to come out. So, yes, I was in there a while. But no-one bothered me. I knew from home and school that boys and men sit on the toilet for ages so it wasn't "odd". And it was quite busy - boys pop in and out talking to each other while using urinals.

Why are hen parties so obsessed with penises anyway? If it's not talking about them for the entire weekend, it's walking around every town and city carrying a veritable paraphernalia of plastic or inflatable dicks.

Not always!
But I think it's usually to make fun of them. As I've said in previous posts, the great thing about us against men (or hens against stags) is our ability to joke about the opposite sex. And there's no better way to joke about men than to take the pi§ (sorry) out of their danglers. Partly because THEY take them so seriously.
But WE'RE concentrating on dicks here I've been to hen parties (or GNOs) where the only mention of a willy is when the stripper has failed to show us his!

I don't have a big frame or reference. Only had the joy with two men. Very diffrent sizes. After a few drinks I spoke about this at a hen night.

I havnt measured but when getting grilled for details. Two or the women start showing pics of there other half. It was useful for the convo but I was a bit shocked. How common is this? And is it a big deal? I guess it was for informative reasons and dis give us a bit of a giggle. Bit I wld be livid if my OH were comparing pics of my bits

They sound like grubby try hards, wannabe edgy types. I've met women like this from time to time, but not regularly, and I just avoid them.

Not just at a hen do - at work years ago, my all woman department organised a glass or two at the end of the day as someone was leaving. I didn't drink, and the others didn't have that much, but they were going on about penis size, telling stories about how they'd anticipated a one night stand. but when they saw the size of it, they'd decided not to bother, called a cab and went home. This had happened to four of them. Apparently. I'm sitting there watching my hitherto professional colleagues cackling and spilling all sorts, and vowing never, ever to drink on an empty stomach.
