A friend talks graphically about sex w/her husband. to you This makes you uncomfortable. Do you tell her to stop or just nod and smile?

I agree that it is not out of the ordinary to confide with a close friend about certain sexual matters in your life, but one also has a superior obligation of discretion that has to be kept to one's partner. It is one thing to discuss one's sex life in modest tones and quite another to be graphical to the degree that one becomes vulgar. I would probably treat the issue as I would anytime I find a friend becoming vulgar to my tastes, be it in language, dress or demeanor.

I would tell her directly that she is crossing a line where I no longer feel comfortable. I would not offer my personal comments on how I feel it is in bad taste regarding maintaining the confidence and discretion of your partner, I would just leave it on the personal level of how I find that level of detail bothersome.

Its girl talk! If it goes too far use the "TMI" option.

I'd just nod and smile, because such a confrontation would probably be really, really awkward. I'm generally in favor of making things as un-awkward as possible, unless I absolutely have to. But you can bet I won't be actively participating in that conversation.

If the friend keeps doing it, I might say that I'm uncomfortable with it, but in my experience, it probably won't make that friend stop. And looked at in a certain way, it probably shouldn't. I wouldn't expect my friend to tailor all her conversation to me.

I'm not the only person in her life, and I don't dictate her comfort level. All it does is just add an extra layer of weirdness to our interactions.

I would just let her know that you do not want to hear about her sex life. When she starts to talk about it just say, "Whoa! , TMI, Too much information!".

I agree with you. It is disrespectful to her husband.It is also disrespectful to you. If she has problems with her sex life, she should discuss them with her husband, her counselor, or a doctor.

If she needs to confide in you about something she doesn't have to go into the details. Have a talk with your sister and then refuse to listen. Stick to your guns and she will get the message.

You could also send her this video!

I agree. It is disrespectful to one's partner to kiss and tell. I suggest you have a frank discussion about this with your sister.

She's been extremely frank with you, so, she shouldn't be adverse to you being frank with her!

I would tell her I don't want to hear about it, while making an ewwww please stop face. Some people are comfortable sharing and joking about bits and pieces of their sex lives, usually with really close friends. But when it comes to family members I really really don't want to know what's going on.

Maybe explain to her that it's the same as your mom telling you what her and dad do. As far as disrespectful, I think from a man's viewpoint as long as it's good things that are being said, he probably doesn't care and won't feel like he's been disrespected. I know it should be the same for women, but I personally would not want any guy sharing what we do with anyone, good or bad.

I know, equal opportunity, but at the same time, women come across as skanky in instances that men don't.

I think you should nod and smile, and maybe she'll get the hint that you aren't really that interested. If she doesn't get the hint, go ahead and explain that some things should be kept to just her and her husband.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
