Medusa -
How did you find these friends that are willing to discuss sex, or how did you become comfortable discussing such things?

maleficent -
Thank you SO MUCH for voicing your opinion. Would you discuss the mechanics of sex with your sister?

it's not so much personal details or how many times one has sex or with how many boys. It's not about a desire to brag. It's about being comfortable enough with the human women around you to feel comfortable asking them basic questions. Like:
" I bleed when... is this normal?" or "Is it supposed to sting when...?" or "Is it normal to only want sex a couple of times a month?"

I feel completely comfortable addressing these issues in the TFP LL, but I don't feel comfortable asking my female friends any of these questions.

Sure, you could say that these are questions for a gyno, but why can't I feel comfortable asking my sister... or my close friend dorm-mates.

These aren't bragging questions (hence the phrase "rationally discuss sex" in the initial posting). These are questions about the facts of life.

that is really very unfortunate about your mother's ignorance. I hope that your daughter is well and there haven't been any other undue complications.
