 it is up to the parents what they do and say around their children, but if it is makin you uncomfatable you should ask your girlfriend to tell them not to talk about it when you are there.

 my own family was so reserved when i was young that i was afraid to ask about sex and grew up dumb so when i did get to experiment everything scared me.be glad they are so open and honest.it just may make for a better,healthier sex life for both of you.

 Well, as everyone who answers this will say, every family is different and every loving parents only want the best for their children. Some parents think that being open about sex from the young age with their children means the children will have a good understanding of sex and will be careful in the future. Some think that not mentioning sex in the house at all will stop the children becoming interested in the opposite sex.
No one can say which of these works for everyone. I guess parents just have to do what they think is best and hope everything is ok. If your parents choose not to talk about sex in the house, that's fine. Personally, I think a happy medium between the two types of family I've mentioned would be best: knowing they can talk about things when they want to and the children gaining a good knowledge of sex and protection etc but also maybe the parents keeping their own sexual stories to themselves! I know I wouldn't like to hear any of my mums stories like that!
Anyway, just chill about this. Maybe they are a bit open but that's a good thing in many ways. They sound really close and you say your girlfriend knows a lot about sex, even though she's never done it. Surely that's a good thing? At least she knows what to do about protection and stuff.
Good luck

 Each family is different. That is not to say wrong or bad. This family just seem to be open and honest about things, so I wouldn't worry about it.
We are all a product of our environment/upbringing so there are things about your family that she may find strange and you would be shocked to think of as anything but normal.
