"I'm sorry, but I'd rather not be privy to this part of your life. It makes me worry about things I'd rather not worry about."

There has to be something else that she likes that you can discuss. If not, keep a distance until you finally detatch yourself completely..if that's what you want.

I had a friend I told once that I didn't want to hear about it, eventualy I had to tell her every time we spoke. We no longer speak.

Some people like to tell people about that kind of stuff. Hell, some people really need to. I say, if you can't take it, maybe the two of you aren't a good match for friendship. You should probably just tell her what you think straight out, but put it in the form of a question first. Like, "Why do you always tell me about this stuff."

You know I like the direct approach. Just tell her that it makes you uncomfortable talking about such personal matters and leave it at that. She will probably just appologize and move on. She probably doesn't realize that she is making you uncomfortable.

I had a friend like that at my old job. It ended with her being angry at me, but I had to put my foot down on her tales of infidelity and hatred toward her family. I felt like I was a part of her betrayal. I simply stated that I liked hanging out with her, but was morally uncomforable with her filling me in on her "other life". If she wanted to continue being social with me, she had to sensor herself. It is totally a boundary thing, but it always helps me to be direct rather than just mysteriously backing away. Sometimes the truth just hurts.

Start talking about an amazing turd you had the other day: discuss the size, the color-what potential foods lead to its tone, as well as consistancy...and how it clogged the toilet? Why not, live large, right? If she says "thats so nasty, why are you talking about that?" Just say,"thats how I feel about your infidelity stories."

If she is a friend, that talks to you about this, it would seem to me that you can be plain. Look her in the face and tell her " If you want to go slut around on your man, keep it to yourself, ok? It bugs me to hear that crap."
