Over sharing….. personal information.

Do you generally prefer a type 2 or 3 on the Bristol stool chart, by the way?

Definitely a 2

Close friends discuss their problems. Maybe she over estimated the level of intimacy.

Certainly, female friends have discussed aspects of their sex lives with me. Female and male. TBH, I'd be more offended if they wanted to talk about their bowels (I'm squeamish).

I'd be most worried if their sex life chats included anything to do with bowels.

Best not to ask MissAdventure, there's bound to be one somewhere!

I went away on a couple of "girls" holidays, where the talk was usually about sex at some point in the day.
It really shocked someone's mum, until one night she asked of any of us had ever had a 'Dutch oven'.
That knocked the wind out of our sails.

Dutch oven? Isn't that what you shove a chicken in? Or was that a chicken brick? Oh your so much more savvy than me MissA! Do tell!

You could look it up in Urban Dictionary*Chewbacca*, but I wouldn’t!

I laughed at the screamed - love it, still ? laughing. Never heard of the term Dutch oven so I looked it up. Eeuw. Sort of thing we laughed at as teenagers. Poo poo and wee wee humour.

MissAdventure

The issue is consent, isn't it?
Just the same as with anything related to sex.
If you don't consent, it's very murky territory.

If a man started to talk about how he masturbated without so much as a "by your leave" I would consider it abusive.
Not because I'm closed minded, not because I'm unaware or offended; simply because I hadn't consented.

This, exactly.

If it happens again, simply tell her that it’s a topic better discussed with her Dr, and you’d appreciate it if she didn’t bring it up with you again.

Some have been very adventurous. You live and learn!

I have a neighbour who has a new "boyfriend" who's 80, and she likes to boast about their sex life. Methinks she doth protest too much!

MissAdventure I really want to look up Dutch oven I’ve never heard of it. But I don’t want to at the same time. Oh dear the decision!! ??

"That knocked the wind out of our sails"...

... stop sniggering you at the back...

I’ve decided I’m going with Chewbacca and decided it something you put a chicken in. I’ve lived too sheltered a life?

I would simply tell her that you never had the need for anything fake. Therefore its not something you are interested in discussing thank you very much.

I have no intention of looking it up and getting blacklisted by my IP, but going by the culinary version, it must logically be a way to roast/bake something in a container on a hob.

Must leave scorch marks on the BTM, and a smell of burnt flesh.

Sex is a normal bodily function but strangely we feel uncomfortable about discussing it. Perhaps it’s mainly older people who feel this, and younger ones not so inhibited?
I am actually quite queasy about many bodily functions and excretions, especially involving bladder and bowels, AND I trained as a nurse.
It’s odd how any post involving sex gets lots of attention on Gransnet.?
BTW do you think they meant a Dutch cap?

Well I googled dutch oven and it said it was breaking wind under the duvet and trapping someone's head under with the fumes that can't be what the rest of you are on about!

Iam, my friend doesn't have dementia but she has something that is affecting her executive function. Tbh we are all quite used to it now

Bingo!

There is one side of me that thinks that you should be pleased that she shares such intimate details with you, but cringing a bit that she does!
I think that the easiest thing would be to just say that you have never had that type of a problem and that you feel uncomfortable discussing it as you have no personal knowledge.
Beyond that, just say that she might need a visit to her GP or to speak to the practice nurse.

Maybe suggest stringer batteries? ??‍♀️

Or stronger even! ???

Or a pneumatic drill?

Perhaps she needs new batteries?

Well they do say you can talk about anything with your friends lol personally I don’t think I would myself well I no I wouldn’t but unless you tell her what happens in her bedroom is her business she isn’t going to read your mind.
