So one of my guy friends was put with me in health class and he started way over sharing. What should I do?

Question

So it was that one health class about puberty and we were partnered up to read books about puberty. It was already really awkward cause we are friends. When we got to the part about erections (btw I'm a girl) he kept talking about how annoying it was and that it always happened in gym class and when he was hanging out with me. Now I was really uncomfortable and asked him to stop talking about it. He didn't stop talking about it until the end of class though. I'm just wondering what message he was trying to put across and if that situation ever happens again what can I do to defuse it

Well he probably likes you. But if you dont feel the same way about him then tell him outright that talking to you about his sexual development and sexual activity is out of bounds and that your friendship will be compromised if he doesn't respect your boundaries.

"Hey, I'm really not the person to talk to about this," you could say.  "If something about it bothers you, talk to your dad or another man in your family.  They'll know a lot more about what to tell you."

I like Edward's idea.

Just tell him politely - thanks, but no thanks. Keep it to your male friends, and know your boundaries. Something like that. Guys often have no compunction about openness with their mates. He may also think that it's a turn-on talking about it to you, when it's not at all.

He’s immature, just ignore it or...start talking about how every month you shed your uterine lining and how it’s so annoying a painful
