 You really sound as though you feel cheated. I have two grown up daughters and we speak about everything - especially when they were younger and getting into sex and needed advice and I was always very honoured that they felt comfortable and trusted me enough to do that. Now its more on a kind of a jokey thing we chat about sex and our experiences, but its a very 'loose' kind of thing now and I'm very aware that as their mum its not really appropriate to land them with whats going on for me sexually, as it is with anything else going on in my life. I have a husband much younger than me, I think they would find it very embarrassing if I started telling them about my sex life, so I wouldn't consciously do that. And if I started to tell them about my sex life with my ex husband - well what kid really likes to think about their mum and dad having sex? Just be grateful you have a mum you can confide in and accept that she doesn't need to, or feel comfortable about doing the same. Its normal. At the end of the day, no matter what age, she is still your parent. Don't be upset. x

But some mothers would not appreciate such talk and feel uncomfortable. Does it honestly matter that she does not want to talk about her sexual experiences. Is there anything you think you could really learn from it? This is not worth fighting over or damaging your relationship with her for.Talk to her about things more appropriate and that she will be willing to talk to you about. Then you may not feel so kept in the dark.

Let it go!

Honey, for starters, nobody expects their son to open up this much to them. She's probably not feeling like you're being open, more freaky than anything. This is why she isn't being open with you - surely it can't be right to give your mother so many details. I, for one, would never! You can't expect anything back from her - you chose to take things that far, who says she did?

 Go on then. I'll buy it. What sexual details did you tell your mum?
It's so unfair, isn't it?
