Following on from the thread about competitive mums, do you have a friend who is always boasting about their sex life?

....while you sit quietly and wonder if they're for real?

a friend of mine is always going on about the wonderful sex she and her dh have and personally I think it's a load of crap. he doesn't look up to much to me and I think she's trying to make him sound exciting, but it kind of pisses me off and I want to say "yeah right" when she starts.

they've been together for ages, maybe she's not lying, who knows.

I run a mile if anyone discusses their sex life with me.
It is soooooo naff.

The one girl I know who did a lot of it,got divorced last year....

NotQuiteCockney · 06/11/2006 09:01

OMG no! Never! Ewww!

I'm sorry, yeah, I'm the Sex Doctor, but I really don't want to hear personal details and I certainly don't want to hear bragging, how naff!

The closest I've come was a chat about whether BF reduced other people's sex drives (turns out, it does for some, it doesn't for others). No bragging.

Which pop star??

NomDePlume · 06/11/2006 09:28

Pruni, she sounds utterly mental

expatinscotland · 06/11/2006 09:37

'It was when she was trying to get me to try anal ("because it's so nice")that I had to ask her to stop.
SHe now thinks I am repressed. '

GAG! Yeah, that would have put me off.

Not really something we discuss over tea and biscuits.

"Pass me the custard creams Gemma"

"No problem Julie, forgot to mention we tried butt plugs last night, amazing"

I talk about sex with most of my girlfriends but they're not crowing about their sex lives. They are all moaning about how much their DH/DPs keep banging on about sex & how they can't be arsed.

expatinscotland · 06/11/2006 09:48

We're waiting, Pruni.

Go on, then, gies the link.

moondog · 06/11/2006 09:57

Ah yes Pruni,I have a friend who thinks I am uptight because I don't want to hear details of what she gets up to with her various gentlemen callers.

Little does she know that my oh so sensible wardrobe swings thorugh 180 degrees to reveal home dungeon.........

Judy1234 · 06/11/2006 10:14

I'd never talk to anyone about it. It's private. I'm sure the other half doesn't want their private affairs discussed.

TheHighwayCod · 06/11/2006 10:15

i nevr talk to anyone abotu sex
their or mine
a sign of amturity i liek to think
it not big (!) and not clever

aweebitgross · 06/11/2006 10:18

I had a friend, who swore one person couldn't satisfy her. She had a swinging sex life with her husband, who allowed her to take on a lover.. a female lover. She claims to be BI-sexual and her husband is OK with this, apparently. I do know she also has this female lover, we see them together all the time, with the lovers partner agreeing to it also. She says she needs sex a few times a day and if her husband or lover aren't there she has a large collection of toys.

aweebitgross · 06/11/2006 10:19

I don't actually talk to anyone about my sex life either, although if we were in a group and were having a laugh and it came up, I wouldn't shy away from the conversation.

hoolagirl · 06/11/2006 10:33

I never talk about my sex life except with my partner who I talk to very freely about sex .
To me its a very private thing between 2 people no matter how wild or not your sex life is.
I have one friend who constantly brags that every guy she goes with is the biggest and best yet and goes into vomit inducing detail of how she uses her 'toys' on them!!
Personally I think half of it is in her head!

expatinscotland · 06/11/2006 10:35

Where do all these people find time to shag mulitiple times a day?

There was a now infamous, and departed, poster who banged on about having it several times a day and she supposedly also had two young children.

How?

I don't get that.

WelshBoris · 06/11/2006 10:37

Let's be honest expat, she had issues

Even on the "what you wearing today" threads she always had something sexy on

If sexy = weetabix encrusted tshirt and pyjama bottoms then maybe

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 06/11/2006 10:38

sex is private.

there is no need to talk about it at all.

some people just need to grow up.

fartmeistergeneral · 06/11/2006 10:39

I remember after having ds1 I went to a mothers/toddlers group and a group of us went for lunch for the first time. Babies only a few weeks old and the conversation went on to 'down there' and how painful it was, sex?, no way etc.

Then one said as soon as she came out of hospital she couldn't wait to have sex with her dh! We all swooned and crowed at her amazingness.

I now wish I had had the courage to say 'yeah right, fuck off'

BudaBeast · 06/11/2006 10:40

Sex? What is that?

Think I'll stick to "Flying"!!!
