> I would definitely not want to talk openly about sex with random people.

I wouldn't discuss my sex life with random people either.

But my wife and I have some close friends who are obviously having serious issues because the woman involved always ends up crying about it when we've all had one too many to drink. Unfortunately she won't discuss it at all when sober, which is a real shame as they're such a fantastic couple otherwise and we do desperately want them to work it out.

At the very least there could be something very normal going on that we could reassure them about and help them get over any anxiety that might be caused as a result.

Unfortunately these things aren't really discussed between friends and so she has to suffer in silence or use alcohol to deal with her problems.
