If you and your partner/wife/husband are having sexual issues would you be comfortable talking to your parents about it (not gory details but only high level of course)? Are you that comfortable with your parents? Or would you discuss it only with your doctor/therapist?

I'm close with my parents but as far as they are concerned I am a virgin, even though I've been married

LMAO! I think I feel a bit differently because I am a guy and guys are supposed to be more open about how they are engaging in sexual stuff...probably a societal thing.

I talked to my mom and day today about some sexual issues I have been having (again VERY high level of course!), it surprisingly did not feel too weird, they were very supportive and encouraged me to get the help I need etc. which actually made me feel much more comforted and relaxed. At first I was very apprehensive to share it, but I am glad I did it.

But then again I am in my early 40s so at this stage in my life I guess I have a do not give a damn attitude about what others think...

My mom talks about her sex issues to me. She offered us my dad's leftover ED prescription in case my husband needed it, which my husband said was just an attempt to find out if he has difficulties in that department. She asks me to buy her things at the XXX shop so she doesn't have to go in there (why not order from Amazon like the rest of the world?) She overshares about things, like telling me that my dad, who has Alzheimer's, would take the ED medication and in the 30 minutes it takes to work, would forget what he wanted to do and decide it was time to go somewhere. She gives my dad wet, sloppy French kisses everywhere, which is kind of funny because he doesn't understand anymore and tries to kiss my dog the same way.

I think my mom would be happy if I discussed any possible sex issues with her, but I wouldn't do it. One time I had enough of a problem to talk to my gynecologist about it and she was a good listener and made several suggestions.

I'm more likely to look for answers to my issues online than to really ask someone.

Why do you want to talk about your penis issues with your parents??

I'm close with my parents, but not that close. If I'm having a sexual issue I want to discuss with someone, it'd be with my doctor, my close friends, even my sister, but not my mom.

I feel completely the opposite, i'd rather discuss it with my parents who I feel I can reveal it in confidence rather than my close friends - hell no, i'm not going to discuss this with my friends and have all my personal info leak out. The only people I trust to keep this confidential are my parents! As for my doctor... my doctor could care less about how this is affecting me emotionally, he may just prescribe some meds. For instance my doc barely even wanted to speak to me as he was so busy and had one foot out the door calling the next patient... doctors really don't give a crap about you and just want to go through as many patients as possible in a day.

Nope, that department stays closed. I don't wanna hear about theirs so I don't share mine. Even my sister and I rarely talk about sexual issues
