Relief Society Sisters gossiping about their sex lives
Another example: my sister in law had a lady in her ward have a party for some sisters in the ward where they checkedout and discussed sex toys. Is it ust me or is in't that wrong as well?
Yes! Very wrong. These parties are just pyramid schemes. You shouldn't have to pay part of someone's upline commission just to get a cool new vibrator. Better to just buy online.
What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

This doesn't bug me all that badly, except if it's just non-productive venting and/or criticizing their spouses. If it's just about ideas/tips/etc, I don't see anything wrong with it.
Guys don't talk about this because really, what is there to discuss?
At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

The only thing I ever talk about/hear is birth control. We occasionally discuss different birth control options and why or why not we like them. Nothing personal or over the line. But I am in a boring ward, I guess. The sisters in Texan's ward seem like a lot more fun.

Um.... men talk about sex all the time (use CUF as an example). You take a different approach to the subject for some rather obvious reasons that I'd prefer to stay out of here. I don't think it should bother men, then, if their wives talk about sex, too.... as long as there is no intent to harm.
I guess my point is that isn't it wrong for a man or woman to discuss their sex lives with other people, hence not keeping it between themselves? It just doesn't seem morally upright to be sharing tips and tricks and discussing the intimate details of a marriage?

Really, is this what they are sharing... "intimate details." I am sure it happens sometimes but either I get left out on all the good conversations or your definition of intimate details is much broader than my definition.

It does not seem morally non-upright to me but I ain't exactly Boyd K. Packer.
I think morally uprightness is hard to distinguish from moral "uptightness", and this also keeps people more upright when they should be engaging in horizontal refreshment.
No, seriously. Consider it a little more. I think you'll find the substance to your objection beneath it.
Men don't like the idea of women talking about their sex lives behind their backs with their friends. Women don't like the idea of men talking about their sex lives behind their backs with their friends. Both groups still do it. Is it a double standard, or is it that neither group perceives the injury done to the other party?
Women don't like it when men talk about their bedroom lives because it objectifies them. Men don't like it when women talk about their bedroom lives because it challenges their manhood. If all women ever said to each other was how terrific their men were under the sheets, they might not think anything of it. It's just that physical/emotional thing that comes with the gender divide.
It's not a double standard. It's just the men from mars women from venus thing all over again.
