Quote: I guess my circle of friends/acquaintances must be odd (probably so, I'm a strange bird myself), because I've never been in a conversation with other women that involved personal details regarding my husband, marriage or sex life. And that includes women friends I have known since grade school days.
I have to tell you that either you do run with an odd (or especially classy) crowd or you give off the "vibe" that you don't want to hear about that kind of stuff. In my situation it was actually the fact that my sex life was so pathetic that prevented me from talking about it with my female friends. My closest sister is the only "real" person I have talked to about it. OTOH, women I don't even know very well are always talking to me about their sexual experiences. I assume this is because I am comfortable with the topic in general and I give off that "vibe". I have fond memories of late nights at the diner with my HD high school girlfriends laughing so hard at tales of each others sexual exploits that we would choke on our coffee and in recent years I've heard detailed descriptions of the sexual performance of a couple of well known authors.
