WHY is it not rude to talk "below the belt" in mixed company?

or share intimate details.

Remember your best friend may not always be your best friend.

    I think it is rude to talk any kind of below the belt in mixed company. I don't think younger people of today have been taught basic manners. You should always be polite when meeting new people. You should reserve your off comments, until you really know a person or have some type of relationship with them. Just treat people like you would like to be treated when you have just met someone. Would you want someone you just meet, to come to you with a story about their sex life? Of course not, so just use common sense.

    Well I would not talk about intimate details with anyone but the partner.. and with a best friend I would not discuss intimate details but give her a rough outline of the story if I wanted her opinion about something but not go into details.. xx

  • It's incredibly rude to talk about that kind of stuff in mixed company. I hope you haven't been doing it all this time! Save your intimate discussions for very close friends only.

    Some times people are afraid to talk openly or in a good worldly way which comes naturally with me as ive noticed how much people and others enjoy my way of speaking. I t even throws me into a wonder what these cat's are trippin on yet so attracted to but i've got there backs and don't care what those cop's said about them I still think there cool ,But thank's for asking sincerely me.

    it is rude. and whether you are comfortable sharing your details or not others have a right to NOT know them.

    privacy works both ways and those who arent careful can be sued for harrasment for such talk
