Hey y'all, wow I haven't been on here in forever. I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on couples who overshare. Specifically about their sex lives & all their gory business that I don't care to hear about. W my girlfriends who are in relationships, I will listen but I won't share a whole lot. Mainly b/c I don't want people to know my personal business & I don't care to hear certain opinions.

A friend of mine has always bragged about how amazing & adventurous her sex life is but then found out her boyfriend was cheating on her. I thought it was sad & tacky.

Thoughts?

Our culture seems to be creating a lot of narcissists and self-involved folks these days.

The words "decorum", "discretion" and "good taste" are not being taught like they used to be. Many parents in general aren't doing their jobs in my opinion.

Combine that with outrageous media influences and diarrhea of the mouth grows like an epidemic.

I had a friend who overshared. We're not friends anymore. I got tired of being slightly grossed out.

Yes, this is such a good post and so true.

Just because someone doesn't tell all, it doesn't mean that they're necessarily hiding something. It makes me wonder if many of these parents have simply just "given up".

I'm with you on that. It's very personal.

I often find that the people that over share and brag about their relationships are the most insecure.

women do this all the time in places and they except everyone else to participate. like at the hair salon. I don't go there to hear about hookups and their choices in vibrators. i hate when people carry on like that and just assume everyone wants to hear/talk about it. gross.

This what happens when you have a segment of the American population glued on reading 50 shades of Grey

I dont want to take this off topic, but what is great walking around the streets of NYC is that you always hearbthe ambiance of female sex talk. Some years ago a lady was chatting with her friend that you are not cheating, you are only cheating when your boyfriend catches you. This lady was a professional working woman probably highly educated. She told her friend she slept with three other guys when she was with her bf and she did not considered it cheating. Another timevI over heard an argument with two Puerto Rican couple, thevlady told her boyfriend bout loud you're no longer gonna f@#& me up the a** any more. Today on thevsubway I over heard two ladies talking about oral and when i got out of the subway I over heard a woman arguing over the iphone with her man, she than says shebis no longer going to s@#& you off. Women talk about sex in thrvopen as much as men, who knew!
