But I don't feel comfortable with talking about what sex toy I used last night, or things like that. I used to have a good friend who we would talk about all sorts of things about, but often talking about what our boyfriends liked rather than what we liked. For instance, she would tell me about how her boyfriend hid her giant pink vibrator when he went away for a weekend! Heh. Drove her mad! But never talked to eachother about the vibrators performance or anything like that... strangely!
I don't think that's strange! When I bought the vibrator for my friend, I didn't feel able to ask her directly what sort of stimulation she preferred. Even though she's a good friend, that would have seemed intrusive and pervy to me. Instead, I asked her about the one that she had broken.
Ironically, my friend then chose to tell me in unexpected detail about the features that she liked on her old vibrator and the way that she had used it -- but that was entirely her choice. As it turned out, part of the reason why I then went ahead and placed the order was that I'd been given a clear prescription of her requirement. (I think this friend would be very much at home on this forum!)
When I've discussed sex with friends, I've never been explicit about my own or my wife's behaviour. Again, that would seem out-of-place to me. Instead, I've been happy to talk in general terms about techniques, toys and preferences. Inevitably, I've read between the lines of the conversation, and I imagine that my friends have done the same, but that seems okay to me (and is actually part of the fun!).
