Siblings at parties.

Right, this might come across as a tad selfish but it's a bit of a pain for me. Basically, as I have a twin sister (I'm male) and go to the same sixth form as her we end up up being invited to the same parties. Now this isn't bad at all when it comes to the larger ones but it's the smaller, house parties that cause my dilemma. Whether or not this is the case for you, but at house parties there's generally a lot of talk about sex and stuff (in rather large detail here), which I find rather akward to divulge right in front. I know this isn't a huge problem, but it just feels to me that I can't really let myself go and enjoy myself.

Anyone else have the same problem?

I know a set of male and female twins and they always end up at the same parties but generally just pretend each other aren't there. Probably easier said than done, but there's nothing much else you can do.

I have been to a few parties where my brother has been there (he's older - not my twin!) and at first ive felt awkward but by the end of the evening he is so drunk, and im usually pretty far gone that i doubt he is going to remember anything and he is more concerned with his own friends/"issues" that what i'm doing!

Hope you manage to enjoy them though, sorry i cant help much more! :hugs:

I wouldnt worry about it, if you want to talk about sex talk about it. He's your brother and he's probably done stuff as well and its not like he'll be telling your parents or anything. Whatever is said will probably never be brought up again anyway.

I had a conversation about sex with my ex boyfriend and his sister earlier on tonight, not awkward at all.

I went to a few parties with my sister. It was good actually...we get along well, and she helped me pick up :wink:

I've been to parties with my twin sis before but luckily that topic of conversation hasn't sprung up. Mates being mates, i can imagine they have realised that it is an uncomfortable conversation for you to have with your twin in the room so are pretty keen to talk about sex.

Not sure if there is right lot you can do about it. Grin and bear it and encourage other topics of convo?
