Found out my boyfriend tells his parents when we have sex, feeling humiliated

I am 22, my boyfriend is 26. We are both sexually inexperienced. Let’s just say, we both have issues( him with going soft , me with being very tight). He is very close to his parents and has told me they know everything about him. His parents live abroad, but he messages and calls them a lot, in his language.
I am a very private person, and recently things have happened to suggest my bf could be discussing sexual things with his parents.
Well, his dad has come over to visit from his country for a few days today. He told me that he is going to ask him about his issue, telling me that there is nobody best but his dad to talk about this stuff with. I asked hypothetically would he ask his mum about my issue and he said yes he would.
I asked if he ever tells his parents if we have sex(just oral at the moment). He said yes and I felt repulsed. He said occasionally , afterwards, he’ll tell them something like ‘we just had fun’. He told me that since he is a virgin he keeps his parents informed about this stuff, and it seems as though they encourage it.
So I’ve just picked up his dad from the airport as a favour, but I feel humiliated around him. I don’t even want to ask my bf what other details he’s shared, I don’t want to know the answer.
I just need to rant, I don’t care what my bf talks to with his parents, just please please don’t talk about my private business, that’s all I ask.
Am I overreacting here? I can’t even speak to him right now I’m so upset.

Your intimate relationship should only be shared between you and your boyfriend. He is out of order to be discussing anything intimate with his parents. I am not surprised you feel put out - its disgusting. You need to have a sharp word with your boyfriend and tell him its stops now or your done. If he cant keep your intimacy private you have no chance of keeping anything else private. I would feel sick if my kids tried telling me their intimate details - no not one single word of it. Bet you his parents dont tell him about their intimate relationship - and yet parents do still have one regardless of their age.

Hell no! What he did is like kiss-and-tell.. but even worse! I agree with Googley2. I know this is easier said than done, but show him the door! I mean, if he's the type of person who could share your intimate matters with his parents, then that's a big NO NO in a relationship. Imagine if you start arguing about other matters that should be private.

Besides, his dad is not his GP or d**k specialist, so no, his dad is not the best person for him to consult.

you're not overreacting, but you should let it go.

if you told your bf to keep something secret that would be one thing... but you didn't expect him to say anything and you just need to accept families have different boundaries - david beckham kisses his kids on the lips for gods sake!

ultimately, his dad knows all people have sex, so while i understand you're embarrassed, he will know it's just natural, and in fact a lot of dads just want to know their sons are normal.

Thanks for your understanding. I’m not sure whether he has spoken to his dad about his issue yet (his did has been in the uk for one day now). We’ve arranged to go out with his dad for some food today but I feel uncomfortable even looking at his eyes:frown:

Thanks for your reply. I do feel pretty humiliated. The only thing is , he’s so good to me in other ways, it makes me sad to break up but I’m definitely considering it. What’s been said has been said, he can’t take it back and I worry about what he has told his father within the past day(he’s here in the uk since yesterday). We arranged to go out tonight but it’s hard to look him in the eye:frown:

Also the reason you are tight is due to a lack of foreplay. If you were excited enough the body relaxed. Some lube might help but definitely more foreplay will stop you from being tight. Its nothing wrong just rushing too much, relax, play and enjoy a bit more before letting him inside you.
Nah, that’s weird as hell and completely inappropriate as well as massively disrespecting your boundaries. If you haven’t already you need to make it clear to him that this is something that isn’t a topic of discussion with anyone else, not even his parents. If he then continues to talk to them about it you dump him.

I'm afraid you'll have to communicate very very clearly to your bf about how it makes you feel. If he doesn't take your words seriously, then you know what to do. Even if he was brought up differently, as in wayyy more liberal than anyone you've known, it still does not mean that he shouldn't respect a couple's confidentiality and your thoughts/feelings about it.
This is very weird behavoior
