Over sharing….. personal information.

I have a few really good friends, we talk about all kinds of things, I do not talk about my sex life with any of them or vice versa.

I have one friend who I have only known about 10 years and she often talks about very intimate things, she recently told me she had been unable to climax despite trying very hard with her vibrator.

I don’t want to know, I am not a prude but she doesn’t seem to take the hint, I think she is trying to shock or maybe just get a reaction, I say nothing but should I tell her I find it uncomfortable?

Or she's been cornered by her friend who's regaling her with more lurid details, poor woman.

Thank you all so very much. From sex chat lines to failing batteries.
In response to the post… she clearly doesn’t use a well known brand of batteries. She could have been at it like a rabbit.grin

Like I noted previously any hint of sex draws plenty of posters out ?

Ha! Just been with the oversharing friend!
No mention of anything vaguely sexual.
However she doesn’t realise the importance of a dot in an email address which has caused a whole raft of issues I have just sorted out for her. ????

At least that was an easy problem to sort out smile

Oh please! Just tell her you’ve heard it all before and are bored with it! So change the subject! Ask how the garden is! Then get on with life! ?

Tell her to get a real man! Lol
Or a bigger rabbit with decent batteries.

It could be that she finds it a problem, and feels sufficiently comfortable with you to raise the matter, and hope for help or sympathy,when she wouldn't with anyone else.
A problem shared, and all that?

I think your friend is giving TMI and, with respect, even your post has TMI. It would have been enough to say "my friend wants to discuss her sex life".
Btw, I'm no prude either although I have perhaps made myself sound that way.

My friends would never talk in that manner and neither would i.
Respect is lacking in my opinion.
You could try and laugh it off by saying " oooh,that reminds me,i have to pick up some spotted dick for dessert ".byeee.
