Can a new relationship be too sexual?

I’ve started seeing someone, who is lovely and ticks an awful lot of boxes for me. It’s in the very early stages, ( 6 weeks ) and so far things are great.

We both have a high sex drive, which in theory is great, but hers seems to be hyper high, like she wants it ALL the time, even waking me up in the middle of the night.

I don’t think I’m complaining as I love sex and the sex is fantastic, but I’m worried that the sex is taking over the basics of getting to know each other and it’s becoming our primary focus.

it’s not casual on either part ( as far as I’m aware) so we aren’t FWB but I’m worried if we carry on like this it might become one dimensional?

we are seeing each other 2 nights a week and have date nights, but it probably equates to 5 or 6 times a night/evening when we are with each other.

So my question…is it possible to have TOO MUCH sex in the early stages of dating?

Waking you up in the night for sex is majorly
disrespectful tbh!!!!
that aside would be ok by me
but there does need to be something else you enjoy together , it’s just hook ups otherwise

I think it's good that you both have similar sex drives and are making the most of it. But if it is overtaking you both getting to know each other outside the bedroom then that is something you might have to address. Perhaps suggest a different activity for date night? You can still have sex following that. As to being woken up in the night, it really depends on whether you want it too and are not feeling pressure to go along with it. You might want it sometimes, not always- be open with your partner. Could you just cuddle instead? I can imagine the uproar if a woman said that her partner was waking her up.

Embrace it. …like I said..demand more of her when she last expects and enjoy the adventures sexual explorations brings you both..

What brings me? I’m a mum. Who the website is aimed at, funnily enough.

I don’t know why a man would come here to post about sex. That’s why I asked. It was a genuine question.

You're not very nice, are you? The OP asked a question and you had a choice to ignore it or answer it, but instead you weren't very nice.

TBH Id think many women would be sore after being at it for 6 times in a night.
It wouldn't turn me on.

I also think she's out of order walking you up for sex. Inconsiderate.

I think the question you're asking is if there is enough there between you other than sex.

Is there? Interests? Hobbies? same values?

How? I asked a genuine question. I don’t get why a man would choose to come here to ask such questions when there are many other more appropriate places. How is that rude? Seriously some of you need to get sticks out of your arses. Why do men need to insert themselves into everything designed for women?

Jesus Christ. Posts like this ^ make this place so bleak. It’s so boring, men ❌ sex ❌

Just move on if it isn’t something you’d like to read, or report it if you think it’s suspicious.
