Talking to your mother about sex
| Tue, 05-01-2007 - 6:21pm |
My freinds and I are in our early 30s. I am able to talk to my mother about men, relationships, sex,etc. Obviously, I am also able to talk about these topics with my freinds, however, none of them are able to dicuss these topics with their mothers. Am I just lucky, or is shareing this information with my mother unusual? What experiences have women on this forum had? Any thoughts? Thanks.

I'm 48 and I was always able to talk to both my parents about sex.
Welcome to the board marga. I think you're lucky that you can talk openly with your mom about sex. I'm 44 and still can't talk to my mom about sex. I do talk with friends and even women the age of my mom, but my mom is uptight about sex.
I have a 25yo DSD, and she does talk to me some about sex, but I'm sure it's more limited than she would with her friends. I have 2 teenage boys, and I try to encourage them to talk more openly, but I think in a large part, all parents today try to have a more open relationship with their kids about sex. I know in my shoes, the world is very different than it was when I was their age, and I feel it's important to reinforce safety and responsibility issues.

That's really great. I could never talk to my dad about sex. The only conversation I recall is when I was a college freshman and I came home for fall break. He said, so are you still a virgin? And I said, uhhh no Dad.
