I have to agree w/ Sandi on the way your W may have been brought up. Not sure how old she is, but I'm almost 36 and my parents were the same way. Sex was not a subject that was spoken of; I don't EVER remember getting *the talk* at all from my mom and they would go as far as fast forwarding through sex scenes if we were watching a movie together and that continued even when I was an adult. They were literally embarrassed about it in front of me.

I have made myself into a different person than my mom, who is the nicest, sweetest woman, but VERY naive, etc. I have no doubt though from recent talks that she wishes she could have been different about sex, etc. w/ my dad.

Have you maybe gotten any sorts of books for her to read or anything that may help her to be not so self-conscious when it comes to sex? I don't know if that would help or not if that is even what her *issue* is.
