Is it normal that my mom wants to talk about sex like it's nothing

I think the "normal" way parents talk about sex is extremely unhealthy.

My Mom was like that. It was great. By the time I was 18 and moved out, I knew a lot about sex and how sexual relationships should be conducted, I know quite a bit about birth control, how it works and where to get it.

This compared to the multitude of teens and young adults who get pregnant who know ZERO or next to ZERO about contraceptives and proper behavior in a sexual relationship whose parents buried their heads in the sand and acted like their kids would NEVER have sex or made it a taboo subject in their homes.

I didn't like talking about it at the time. It was really awkward for me to talk about sexual experiences with my Mom as a teen but as a young adult, I really appreciate that we did have those talks because it prepared me for a lot of things that many women my age go into quite blindly and come out quite hurt.

It's not normal, but it should be. I have never been pregnant, never gotten an STD and never had any issue obtaining contraceptives or knowledge thereof and I have my Mom to thank.

You will appreciate this in years to come.

Kids should be able to talk to their parents about anything. I see nothing wrong here.

From personal experience, be lucky that she's alright with it. My parents wanted to kick me out because I've done it. I want your mommy!

My mom's a nurse so she talks about it, but not inappropriately. She doesn't talk in the birds & bees way, just like it's apart of life.

well my mum or da never talks about sex to me
and when they told me about sex when i was 11 i already knew about it for years. but i guess growing up a Catholic and in a Conservative Country has something to do with the not talking about it as much as Americans do.

Well, really, sex really is nothing, just the biology of our bodies. My mother wanted to talk to me about sex when I was a teen, but I never saw it as a big deal. I still don't think it's a big deal as long as keep it mature. Just be an adult and have an adult conversation. Sure she is your mother but sex is natural. It's just how we reproduce.

I don't think there's really any "normal" way to talk to your kids about sex. It's all about what the parent and child are both comfortable with. If you're comfortable with the way your mother is talking, tell her you really appreciate her caring enough, but she needs to change her approach.

My mum does this too! But she doesn't ask me about my life shred wants to tell me about herself and my father.
Thanks ma, really didn't need to know dad's penis was slanted.
I end up slapping my hands over my ears and screaming "la la la la la la la la"

My Mum has always stayed out of my personal business even when I was 16 and going out drinking a lot and getting with multiple people.

I think you are fortunate, even if you find it embarrassing.

Sex education from my parents was absolutely nothing. (For which I am extremely grateful, to tell the truth.)

This type of openness can only be a good thing, surely?

I wish you well.

I think it's good that your mum has a healthy attitude towards sex. xx

Sounds like she is a great mom to me & she just wants you to be open with her & she wants to make sure your prepared for it

I am 19 and my mum is the same. Yet I am not so bothered because I believe sex means nothing too. I guess it can mean something if you are in love, but I also do it purely for the fun with people I barely know.
It's true, like your mum says, doesn't matter who with or how many times but just be safe. As long as contraception is used and you aren't hurting anyones feelings or have bad intentions, then it is fine.
I am glad me and my mum are so open about sex. If it wasn't her then I would probably had a baby by now because she was the one who made me realise just how important and essential contraception is. It's good to be open about these things with someone older and wiser.

It IS nothing. Why make such a big deal of it?

Maybe she is just trying to trick you into spilling the beans.

Parents can be sly like that.
