" On a scale of 1-10, just how comfortable are you talking about sex with your family? How about with your friends or your significant other? I&amp;amp;#8217;d rank myself somewhere between a 7 and a 9 depending on the person and the day. I was raised in a very open environment. No topics of conversation were off limits and as I&amp;amp;#8217;ve gotten older I feel more and more comfortable discussing sex with my parents. Both my mom and my dad even read every single one of my Smitten columns (yup, even Papa Melms!) without blushing. Well, without blushing too much. Even J&amp;#x27;s mom like to read my stuff! I&amp;#x27;m lucky to have that kind of relationship with all three of &amp;#x27;em and not have to worry about being embarrassed about what they&amp;#x27;ll think of it. I&amp;amp;#8217;m pretty much an open book when it comes to love, life, and everything in between. Sometimes I actually have to reel myself in because I know that not everyone is as relaxed talking about sex as I am. I once even said &amp;quot;blow job&amp;quot; on a job interview and realized afterward that it was probably not the best idea. Some people will only discuss hanky panky with their partners behind closed doors and that stems from how they were raised. So, sometimes you&amp;#x27;ve just got to tone it down out of respect. So, how were you raised? Was sex an open convo in your house? Do you feel comfortable discussing it anywhere, anytime or do you hold back and chat about it only with your guy&amp;amp;#133;or doctor? Are you an open book like me or are your private details super private? Photo: Thinkstock "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
