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