Is bragging about ones sex life appropriate? And should one ask Richard Madeley for advice?

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Guilt confession here, I'm endlessly amused by the Telegraph's agony aunt style pieces.

So yes, today's dilemma, resolved by wise owl Richard Madeley, revolves around sex-bragging.

Dear Richard Madeley: Why does my friend insist on sharing the details of his sex life?

We’re not prudes and we’re glad he’s found love at his age, but we don’t know how to respond

www.telegraph.co.uk

Dear Richard,
My pals and I are in our 70s and we meet on a Friday for a pint.

A friend in the group (and I do actually mean a friend and not me) separated from his wife a year ago but has found it very difficult to be on his own. Recently, he met a lady in her 60s who is attractive and good company. She is married and lives with her husband but he says they are estranged; she stays over at his flat regularly.


The thing is that every Friday since he met this woman he’s been giving us a running commentary about their sex life – numbers, positions, even successes and failures on the erection front. We’re not prudes and we’re glad he’s found love – or at least lust – at his age, but we don’t know how to respond (especially since she’s joined us a couple of times). Is there a polite way of letting him know we can do without these sex bulletins?

There are a lot of 'sex threads' about. Either it's a desperate need for the Euros to start quickly, pornhub subscriptions have gone up or their jazzmags are that overused they've become a leaflet.
We should be told

I absolutely will take great delight bragging about my sex life.

Come back here next April.

Significant number are my fault. Two reasons. Yes, PornHub subs have gone up. Second, I'm genuinely fascinated/amused by the sex quandrys of these older Tories.

At risk of a serious answer here. My girl friends talk about sex so much more than my guy friends.

My gf is awful for it too, when we go out as a couple and a male mate or two, of mine, she pretty much turns it into a sex therapy session

If she wants you to take her the townhouse on the Wirral you've bagged yourself a swinger,Kind Sir.

I ran a pub in Soho very close to a couple of sex clubs so I've seen I few things in my time but talk about them would not be appropriate on a Football forum.

Guess you'll be getting DMs from GOT regs seeing if you'll go for a beer and ex chat...

There's a difference between discussing sex and sexual issues and bragging. Witless, boorish bragging. I know a few who fall into the latter. Including one lad who started boasting about his exploits whilst waiting for a funeral service to commence.

This is a football forum?

I agree with you there mate, although it may be a bit later on in the year.
