How comfortable are you talking to your friends about sex?

Edit: question applies to general sex questions and topics, not just discussing hookups, etc. that you had.

    I’m more comfortable talking to internet strangers about how well I can fuck.

    I don’t particularly want to hear details about the various acts unless they’re funny or interesting in some way, but other than that, very comfortable.

    Extremely uncomfortable, to the point I’m not sure I have ever personally talked about it and very rarely have my friends talked about it to me. One of the few silver linings of being the clearly awkward, fat, ugly nerd of a gaggle of nerds is that nobody wants to talk about that stuff with me because, I don’t know, nobody wants to think of me in those situations and nobody wants to rub their own experiences in my face. It probably would be extremely demoralizing except I’m much happier never talking about it ever.

    Depends on the friend.

    I have no issues talking about sex unless it’s the only thing the person talks about.

    Close friends very.

    Depends if I’m asking or responding.

    That depends on which friend.

    Very confortable, I just don’t like the bragging but otherwise I don’t have a problem talking about sex even with strangers

  14. HahaBean1234 Avatar

    Talking to them about it as a joke? Sure, that can be funny, even if it touches on real, embarrassing or sensitive topics. But talking to them seriously? Hell nah, I’d rather ask a priest for lingerie recommendations

    Doesn’t bother me

    It depends on what I think their comfort level is.

    I can be comfortable if they’re comfortable. But if it seems like I’m getting close to their limit, I drop it.

    Neither me nor my wife are particularly attractive so I don’t like putting that mental image in people’s head if I can help it.

    I’ll talk about sex with anyone, but it usually comes up more with my female friends or my therapist.

  19. sarahrasp Avatar

    Its comes naturally ngl
    I mean we are either talking about money or sex to even begin with

  20. Defiant_Sir767 Avatar

    As long as they are comfortable with it. However if its people talking about how many people they fucked then im not interested. Men or women.

  21. mthyd Avatar

    People are way more comfortable talking about sex with strangers on an app than they do with their own friends

  22. JoeDanSan Avatar

    I’m not comfortable bringing it up, but I’ll mirror the comfort of the person I’m talking to. I’ll take that conversation as deep as they want to go.

    I’m comfortable talking to my friends about pretty much anything — even personal stuff like masturbation — as long as it doesn’t involve my partner in any way, shape, or form. When it comes to anything that touches the relationship or the person I’m with, that’s where I draw the line completely.

  24. FlyingCamelBird Avatar

    Let’s talk about sex, let’s talk about you and me.

  25. SphereofDreams Avatar

    With my good friends Im very comfortable. My close guy friends have seen my dick.

  26. failed_install Avatar

    Guys typically don’t share details about current relationships, but will compare notes about technical stuff.

  27. MashAndPie Avatar

    In general, I’ll talk about sex in broad strokes, but never details. So if a friend were to ask me my body count or when I last had sex etc. I’d answer.

    I have one friend who, if she asked, I’d answer pretty much any question.

  28. ExplanationNo8603 Avatar

    It doesn’t bother me one bit to talk about sex, sex toys, sexual health…… that doesn’t mean I want to hear in detail the blow by blow of your sex life

  29. that_att_employee Avatar

    Me, personally, very comfortable. My friends, not so much.

  30. mojobytes Avatar

    Can’t even talk to my therapist about it

  31. DFWPunk Avatar

    That depends on what you mean.

    I think it’s incredibly inappropriate to share intimate details of you sex life with others. My partner’s privacy should be respected and I expect the same in return. Your friends have no business knowing anything about intimate subjects. It’s serious enough to me that I’ll consider ending a relationship if I find out my right to privacy has been violated.

    But if you mean sex as just a topic of discussion, I’ve got no problem at all with that at all.

  32. ZenithGamer613 Avatar

    Really not at all, but idk if that’s just because of my general age range or nah

  33. SkyL1N3eH Avatar

    More comfortable than them most of the time lmao.

    Sex is a part of life, and very natural. I strongly dislike all of the red tape and performative posturing that we as a society enforce around sex, sexual behaviours and related attitudes. I’ll never understand why people care so much about who someone else sleeps with.

  34. Texas_Kimchi Avatar

    We don’t unless someone is having an issue or or needs advice.

  35. advictoriam5 Avatar

    Super. The homies know what’s up. Also, it’s important because if you’re speaking to real friends about sex, you could find out about things you’re doing wrong. I.e being a selfish lover, or maybe try other things your sex life can benefit from

  36. _Alpha-Delta_ Avatar

    Not comfortable. At all. Please keep what happens in your bedroom in your bedroom. 

    Also, not having experienced it, I don’t even have anything to talk about…

  37. Ok_Sorbet_9651 Avatar

    Good. But they exaggerated life. I truly am interested.

  38. Glad-Fig-2098 Avatar

    Very comfortable….. people make it weird but it’s not ..we all have sex

  39. workingMan9to5 Avatar

    I’ll talk about sex with anyone except my mother. Don’t see what the big deal with it is, 1/3 of the earth’s population is doing it. If you aren’t comfortable talking about it you probably aren’t mature enough to be doing it.

    I am, my friends are not.

  41. in-a-microbus Avatar

    I had zero filter before I meet my wife. After a few cases of me saying something that embarrassed her (which really doesn’t take much) I’ve had to really learn to speak carefully.

  42. DerangedDragonBorn Avatar

    Trick question: I dont have sex and i dont have friends 😎

    JK: Being queer some straight folks have logistical questions about the whole act so I’m not too much of a stranger to it. Interesting to know who’s getting pegged though. (Also a joke)

    Curiosity is natural. Otherwise i dont go into many specifics besides marvelling at people with different habits/kinks or interesting anatomy

  43. individualeyes Avatar

    Technically I’m perfectly comfortable talking about it, the subject itself didn’t make me uncomfortable.

    In practice, I rarely if ever bring it up and I don’t go into much detail if the subject comes up. I don’t know everyone else’s comfort level so I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.

    Also, I’ve been with my partner for a long time so any details I give would be telling my friends about my partner’s vagina. I doubt she’d like that. I was horrified to learn that a lot of women go into excruciating detail about their sex lives with their friends.

  44. ToddHLaew Avatar

    We talk about it all the time. When the husbands and wives get together, the women really talk about it. My wife loves to report the details the next day. I know everything, including the things I don’t want to know, about all my friends’ sex and sex lives.

  45. DisastrousDemand1001 Avatar

    random friends, not at all. close friends (known them for 15+ years), which i have just a couple of … very comfortable.

    worth mentioning it’s always about asking for an opinion, never just random talk or stories – see no point in doing that.

  46. Lobinhu Avatar

    Depending on the subject, comfortable. Generic questions are ok, but since our wives normally hang out with the group, anything more “peculiar” is off the table.

  47. No_Excuse_9023 Avatar

    Not in the slightest, I’ve always clammed up and felt quite uncomfortable when friends start talking about sex, regardless of the setting and those talking

  48. AnonymousResponder00 Avatar

    This is literally one of the three main topics my friends and I talk about. And we share a lot. If one of us has a sexual problem with their partner, we all know about it.

  49. Throwawaygarbage1010 Avatar

    Very comfortable. If the other person isn’t willing to, then I just don’t, if they want to, we can.

  50. AnonymousResponder00 Avatar

    My friends and I talk about sports, beer, and sex. Maybe food on occasion. If you took sex out, we would probably communicate a lot less.

  51. ThatOneAttorney Avatar

    I wouldnt discuss anything sexual about my wife with anyone.

  52. C1sko Avatar

    We don’t.

    What happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom! I don’t kiss and tell 😏

  54. Wukon69 Avatar

    We talk almost all the Time, my Friends are a Little Older and more experienced while i’m still a Virgin, so sometimes they give me some tips, also when we talk about greek mythology and Culture…. there’s a Lot of Sex in there.

    Not all, plus it seems pointless.

    I don’t care for it. I only like talking about it if it’s about to happen.

  59. StonebanksPins Avatar

    I’m Very, very comfortable with the majority of them.
