Is it normal that my mother refuses to acknowledge that i'm having sex?

I'm 19 and in college (female) and my mother just refuses to acknowledge that young adults have sex. She's not religious or anything and she believes in sex before marriage. I've asked to take the contraceptive pill but she seems to think it's to regulate my cycle, not to prevent pregnancy. She's never ever told me how to use contraception or to be be safe which I feel was a terrible flaw in her parenting. I resent her for this. She's never even said the words condom or STD to me, it's like it's a shameful taboo or something. I've had sex with four people and have never been pregnant or had an std. I wish I could talk to her about these things. Is it normal that she acts like this? does anyone else experience this?

  • You're already past the point where you need to talk about it with her, you have been safe, you know how to be safe.

    Your post is invalid.

  • You're 19. Why do you need to talk to your mom about sex? She probably doesn't want to hear about your sexcapades anymore than you want to hear about hers.

    If you do have to, just be blunt about it. There's no way she doesn't know you're out bumping uglies, she probably just doesn't want to talk about it.

  • She doesn't want to admit that her little girl is all grown up and has feeling and desires that need to be met.

  • If you need guidance and your mom does not want to help you, go to a woman's clinic and talk to a counselor. For whatever reason your mom is acting like this, you shouldn't be upset with her; it won't help either of you.

  • Why the fuck do you feel like telling her? I don't understand why you want to brag about it. MOMMY IM HAVING SEX! ISN'T IT AMAZING!

    Does she tell you about fucking your dad? If not I think she deserves the same respect. The fact you want to tell your mother every time you do it makes you sound like a slut. No one cares!

    Also you claim you already know what to do so why are you complaining now? You obviously know what your doing despite her help so why rub it in her face that you are having sex? Not everyone likes listening to your sex stories and I think your parents especially want to hear what you do in the bedroom you pervert.

  • My grandfather disowned my mother after finding out she had sex. He was a very strange man, apparently. He was insanely attractive, ladies man, had sex a lot (relevant because he didn't seem to mind the idea of other women having sex), but when my mother had sex, she came in home and he said "careful with the dog, you might catch something" (Yes, he said that).

    He used to praise her and adore her as his little princess, then since he found out she had sex, he hasn't even talked to her or seen her since.
