Do you talk about sex with your friends?
Like genuinely talk about it. Not jokes or bragging but actual real conversations about what you like, what you're figuring out, what confuses you.
I have friends I can talk about literally anything with EXCEPT this. And then I have one friend who will casually drop the most personal detail imaginable over brunch like it's nothing. There's no in between.
Is this a cultural thing? A generational thing? I grew up in a household where this topic simply did not exist so I'm curious how other people navigate it.

I am 100% the brunch friend lol. I will tell you everything about my sex life over eggs benedict and I genuinely don't understand people who can't talk about it.
But I think it depends on the friendship. Some people just aren't there yet and that's fine. You kind of have to test the waters and see who's open to it.
Guys do NOT talk about this with each other. At least in my experience. We'll joke about it but actually being vulnerable about it? Nah. There's this unspoken thing where you're supposed to already know what you're doing and admitting you don't is like admitting weakness.
It's dumb but it's real.
