Sometimes even with guy friends, too, if they're safe to talk to.

Yeah, that would be me in a nutshell...though oddly I'm the one my conservative friends come to to discuss sexual matters. They know I'm open about it, that I'm not going to chastise them for their feelings or misbeliefs (and boy have I heard some), and so I'm safe.
I studied sex as extensively as possible in college via courses in Human Sexuality, AIDS and STDs, the history of sexuality, and women and sexuality (there is one more course they offer on sexuality here but I can't take it because I'm not majoring in public health), and a lot of people I know know this, so they come to me to talk about sex. I am okay with this. I like being a source of good information for them. Furthermore, the population I work with (at-risk teens) feels comfortable coming to me to talk about it.
And I do love to talk about it, to educate people, to open their eyes to how wonderful sex can be if done right and in the right situation.
I especially love to talk about it with my friend S. after she's had a couple and "the pantha" has come out to play. She's hilariously funny, and has had more than a few interesting adventures. She's coming to visit in two weeks--I can't wait.
