Northern Virginia and Exhibitionism: Hi Carolyn---
What do you do with a friend who is becoming increasingly exhibitionist? For example, sending you emails that she and her husband are about to go and "get it on."
I don't know why she would do this except as a grab for attention.
She tells me she, "Likes to freak me out."
Huh? Of course, I don't want to hang out with her as much anymore, but is there anything else I can do
If I express discomfort, she tells me I'm being a prude. I'm not, but feel like I'm being pushed against a wall and manipulated. I think she says odd things to me sometimes just to see how I will react. BTW, other mutual friends have seen this behavior from her, too.
That said, I'm willing to look at all angles of this, in case I'm off. But friendship shouldn't be this annoying to manuver through.

Well, you are a bit prudish. So, be less prudish or get a new friend.

Relatedly, we were having dinner with my brother the other day and I said, "I have a bedroom story I have to share." Kim's look of panic: priceless.
