Having been a sailor for over 20 years, I have known a few guys who bragged like that.

However most do not.

One time I came home and our house had 20 church ladies finishing a luncheon. I avoided the rooms they were in, and did some stuff in another room. I clearly over-heard very disturbing details they were sharing about their husbands. I was shocked. That was 25 years ago, and to this day I have never heard men discussing details of their GFs/Dws like those ladies were.

I've been around a few ladies' groups like that and I've thought more than once if their men knew the sheer detail these women shared it would be pretty upsetting. I know with two of the groups my own SO's were right there among them, just passing out all kinds of detailed info and I've thought that while I appreciate the kudos, just what business of other women are the specifics?!?

This has happened in both the civilian and military lifestyles.

I've known a few men who were like that as well but I've never heard the kind of detail gone into by men in groups, not like with the women. And I'm not saying all men do this but in the groups where I've participated, any guy who started really offering up that kind of detail got shut down with cries of "TMI!" and "Hey, hey -- we really don't need the play-by-play!"

One difference I have noticed:

The women I've been around did this far more often and in far greater detail, BUT they talked about both the good and the bad, both eliciting eagerness -- although admittedly, if a man was disliked then the bad was received and then his entire character was discussed disparagingly.

The men I've been around did this far less often and typically shut the teller down, BUT I've also noticed if the target of the conversation was a woman whom the group collectively disliked, then every detail was shared intimately to eager ears.

I know I know, shame on you LK, you dirty and twisted individual. It is just that sometimes I read a post and these "thoughts" just come ....er come into my mind.

I have couple of male friends like that... I don't care whether or not they are honest or just showing off, because I love hearing those type of stories.

I may say things about my sex life in a very joking type of manner, so it's hard to tell whether I'm just kidding or serious. Nothing specific.

Damn, I've never had fun friends like that! I'm always missing on fun! I don't do it, ever. A bragging man would be a total turn-off to me. Good products and services don't need any advertising!

Sounds like 90% of all high school boys. Honest, most of us were super-studs. We told each other that all the time along with the accompanying story of how we laid the last of the cheerleaders just yesterday.

He does it because your husband tolerates it, enjoys it, maybe even encourages it. Your hubby isn't in high school or stuck on a navy ship, so he can mindfully choose his friends and the company he keeps. If hubs is receptive to these stories, of course his friend will keep them coming. Seems perfectly natural to me.

I've never had a friend who repeatedly did something I respectfully asked them not to. If that was the case, we just didn't remain friends.

'Course I discuss sex with my buddies, both male and female. Normally, it's when I want to expand my repertoire , am sought out for advice, have a funny story, or comparing superlatives, "best of/worst of".

Do you have one of these friends...several? If so, do you believe their stories? Do you kiss and tell if you are out with them and they start sharing?

Grew out of that when I met the wasband, back in my early 30s.

However, in my early 20s, a post-date recap among girlfriends would always begin with, "Did you touch it?"

While I might speak of it, I'm not identifying them by name or other unique characteristics.
