    Tell the other person that you find it offensive that they only ever talk about sex. Say it kindly but suggest that you'd rather the two of you talk about many other things instead and that if this isn't possible, you might have to spend some time away from them as you have had enough of it for now.

EditTips

  • If they learned the sex stuff from medical books and talk about it in a serious way, they don't mean it in a dirty way.
  • Be alert to the possibility that this person might have a disorder that causes them to talk this way all of the time. Talk to people who know them well before jumping to conclusions too quickly.
