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.

Oh is she gone? Assuming we are talking about the same she. Only one I remember who had to have sex 3 or 4 times a day.

I would never ever discuss it with anyone in rl. Embarrassing enough on here but bearable. Can't help thinking that telling people all about your sex life (and how wonderful it is) is a sign of inadeqacy. Much the same as the playground mum who attached to me last year and spend the entire walk to Asda telling me her strongly held opinions of childcare and of those who didn't do it her way without having the faintest idea of what my views/habits were. That was her OFF my christmas card list . She desperately wanted me to say 'oh yes I soooo agree' when I fundamentally didn't. My dad always said that you should keep off the subjects of religion and politics if you want to keep a friend - I would add that sex and childcare are similar.

I have a friend who is endlessly boasting about sex with her dh - they are both late 40s and her dh has kept very fit while she has piled on the weight recently and I imagine her boasting about it is an attempt to make herself feel better!

I think as someone said earlier bragging about it is a sure sign of not getting any. I'm no prude and can have a bit of tongue in cheek chat in company, but the details are really nobodys buisness, there has to be some things in a relationship that are sacred.

Do you know, I have no idea who you are talking about! But then I generally never click on such threads anyway. As has been said - it's private, IMO. And talking about it so openly (particularly the way some people announce it) just strikes me as immature and needy.

I kind of understand the "sorry but I have to ask someone and can't ask anyone in RL" type threads - but avoid them

nope, but I do have a friend who likes to brag about all the new stuff they have and they have no debts etc - hmm that would be cos her mum buys everything! and everything we do/have/say we want they have to go out and get first - v v at that one, thankfully we moved but looks like they might follow - then we'll have comparing of children which I think is crap.

My friends and I boast about how long we've managed to avoid sex. Does that count?

Munz, our friends do that. We've started making up stuff that we're thinking of buying, they go and get them and then we go and get what we were really after. Hehe.

the only time my friends ever dis ussed sex with me was to say
"oh god xx tried it on again last night..groan"
or "hopefully if i go to bed after xx, he will be asleep"

WelshBoris, I bet there are people online who find "weetabix encrusted tshirt and pyjama bottoms" to be the sexiest outfit ever .

Seriously, I totally see a point to the threads that ask (particularly as namechangers) "I want to do x, is it safe" or "x happened, is it normal" or whatever. But that's very different to "wow, we did x, and OMG was it hot, then we did y, etc etc".

Only read OP. Yes, two of my friends make odd claims. One claimed her DH was coming home to b**k her when she was 4 months pregnant, with workmen in the house; in the past she's confessed it takes at least 40 minutes of effort on her part to get things going, so either the workmen took long lunches or it was crap. The other 'drops in' how wonderful her sex life with her DH. I found myself wondering when she admitted she's used Persona twice, why she needed it?
