Do I have to tell my mom about my sex life?

Hi so I’ve been thinking do I have to tell my mom about my sex life? because she thinks I’m a virgin but I’m actually not she didn’t want me to have sex in my past relationships or any at the minute but I did because I feel like I make that decision about sex not her she said I don’t want you doing it under my roof so I didn’t do it under her roof she did say if you did do it I wouldn’t be happy but I don’t think it’s her choose if I have sex or not that is personal to me I don’t need to tell her but I want yours opinions on it. I know I have a wheelchair but that doesn’t stop me doing things like that sometimes I think she thinks I’m a little girl and she doesn’t need to know about my sex life in my opinion.

It's important to remember that as an adult, you have the right to make decisions about your own body and your personal relationships. Your sex life is indeed personal, and you are not obligated to disclose any information about it to your mom if you don't feel comfortable doing so.
However, consider the dynamics of your relationship with your mom. If you think that keeping this information from her could lead to tension, conflict, or misunderstandings, it may be worth having an open and honest conversation about boundaries and respect. Let her know that you understand her concerns but that you value your independence and privacy in certain aspects of your life.
Ultimately, communication and trust are essential in any relationship. If you decide to share this information with your mom, it might be helpful to approach the conversation calmly and respectfully, expressing your perspective and feelings while also being receptive to her point of view. Remember, the decision is yours, and you should do what feels right for you and aligns with your values and principles.
Stay safe
