Yesterday I’m at work,preventing fraud and emailing 3 of my friends when my friend Robin drags me outside to smoke/talk.
She has just started dating this guy and Wednesday was the first night they had sex. So she’s telling me about it and she says…
“His penis is funny.”
Three thoughts hit my mind:
Answering her"Funny how? Like a clown? Does it amuse you?" would probably make her mad.
In 4 years of friendship we have discussed EVERYTHING but this is the first time I’ve ever heard the word penis come out of her mouth. Lots of other terms,mind you, but not that one.
Why is she telling me this? To make sure I can never look at him straight faced again?
Being the older and supoosedly wiser one here I told her to ask him about it and changed the subject. Quickly.
Has a friend ever told you something unprompted you did NOT need to know?
The other night when I went out for coffee with my friend.
Out of nowhere he goes, “Did I ever tell you about the time I nearly slept with two girls at the same time.”
I choked a little on my iced tea, as this was out of nowhere. I think we were trying to remember the name of a band right before this.
Now, I have no idea what prompted this, and was a little surprised (he’s one of my best buds, but we haven’t had many, if any, conversations that have started like that). Now, normally I wouldn’t say this was too much info (heck, I’m pretty open to talking about anything), but I asked him when this happened. He said it happened last summer. Last summer?? Then why the heck would he bring this up, now?
My girlfriend’s roommate is always spouting out TMI. Always talking about her time of the month and ewwww how clumpy it is. Other than that I’m fairly lucky.

Well, not exactly. But I have been shocking my friends for the past few weeks. I have been really outgoing and making jokes left and right. Oh, and now I am swearing(never did that out loud before, I was a goody-goody.) My friend’s jaw dropped when I said “Hell”. Hee, hee. My favorite is “Aaaah, Crap!” from Invisible Man. It is just fun to say. Nothing big. I only use them as necessary.
I think it has something to do with SDMB. And Placebo(the band). And college. Suuuure, that’s what it is. Oh, and the Truth and Dare game we were playing. Nothing shocking, just questions, no dares.
Of course, sexual events are off limits when I talk with my friends. Of course, there haven’t been any, but if there had been I would never tell.
I asked a mutual friend and apparently while running away from the cops during a tagging spree…he tore a small piece of the head off-got caught in a fence.
It’s official…I can never look him in the eye again.
I got the ultimate TMI today. I have two friends who date, and the girl has an insatiable sexual appetite. They constantly lunge at one another with passionate open mouth kisses, outside-the-clothes fondling, etc. Everyone’s fine with this, they’re entertaining.
Anyway, at one point today it was just the three of us, and the conversation turned to the fact that he doesn’t last too long when they’re screwing due to the fact that she’s too tight. Hello? Didn’t need to know that! Thank you.
My best friend shocked me one day out of the blue. She was over at my house with her current boyfriend. She walks into the kitchen with him , sits down at the table and tells me that they have a slight sexual problem. She asked me if it was normal for a man to be able to shove BOTH fists inside of a woman and for a woman to be able to fit a few fingers in at the same time. Ummm…nope not normal from my experience and really nothing I wanted to know. A few years later after she got married she told me the secret to her good marriage, they had please her nights and please him nights. On please her nights he went down on her, on the please him nights, he got to have anal sex with her. Again just something I really didn’t need to know.
You repressed Yanks always amuse and amaze me when the topic turns to sharing sexual matters, no offence, it’s just strange to me!
I’ve shared worse and had worse shared and it was all good fun and usually sparks of laughter and amusement, even making friendships closer
The “out of the blue” thing is a bit odd though, this is usually something a Scandinavian like me would bring up over the fifth to tenth beer of a rowdy evening… Maybe you guys just don’t have enough rowdy evenings
I’m at my friend’s house, with just me, him, and his girlfriend. We’re sitting on the couch, watching a baseball game on TV, and his girlfriend is kinda half asleep lying across his legs.
Out of nowhere, he pulls up the back of her shirt, says, “Here’s how you take off a bra,” and undoes her bra. I just turned back to the tv, but god knows what he did after that.
I mean, come on. I don’t really think I needed lessons, thank you very much. WAY TMI.
I’m notorious for doing that. I’ll tell anyone, anything they wanna hear, and then some. Someone asks why I look so tired? “I was up late having sex.” Someone comments that I’m in a bad mood? “I’m sorry, I have horrible cramps today. It’s my time of the month, ya know.” There’s a cute guy walking by? “Oh yeah. I’d do him.” Most of the time people just shrug me off, occasionally I get people who actually care one way or another. And if anyone ever acts disgusted with my TMI, I watch what I say around them from that point on.
Me and my friends DO tell each other everything and if my posting style wasn’t a big enough hint, I’m usually very straightforward about everything.
It wasn’t so much what she said but how she said it. I’ve been known to tell friends about guys’ size,techinique,etc (right Falcon?) but…the wording and the implication that I’m the expert on the penis topic…no comments from the peanut gallery
Part of me wonders if she told me this to make sure I wouldn’t flirt with him…
Oh, I do this ALL the time. Fortunately, through a rather Darwinian process the people I hang out with tend to be very openminded about this sort of thing… but whenever I find myself moving into a blue area, as it were, I just say, “If I’m giving you TMI, just slap me upside the head and I’ll shut up.” Nobody has yet.
To me, there is a big difference between a person telling me too much about themselves and telling me too much about someone else. If you don’t care that I know, I don’t care. But your ex-girlfriend might not want me to know the funny sounds she made during sex, or your ex-boyfriend may not want me to know that he got a really really bad stomach bug once and craped his pants. Your own privacy is your own business, but it is tacky not to respect the privacy of others, even after you have parted ways. I could never be comfortable with a guy who told me to much about hos ex-girlfriends because every stupid or odd thing I did, I would visualize him working it up into a story for his next girlfriend.
