New boyfriend wants sex all the time

I’ve been dating my new boyfriend for about 3 months now and he always wants sex. We live 15 minutes apart and see each other most days. On the days we don’t see each other, he talks about it and asks for naughty photos. On weekends, we often end up having sex several times a day (8 times on Saturday). It’s hard to just relax and watch TV without him wanting to jump on me. He seems to want it all the time. He says it’s because he fancies me so much and gets really excited.

I used to think I had a high sex drive until I met him. I don’t think he’s doing anything wrong btw. In fact, I’m starting to wonder if I’m the problem because I don’t want it as much as he does. I understand that new relationships are exciting, which explains his frequent desire. However, I’m worried because I don’t share the same feelings. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy our sex life, but I would be content with once or twice a day instead of multiple times daily.

Is it concerning that my desire for sex isn't as strong as his?

DH and I managed 7 times in one day when we first got together but we were a lot younger then, and no kids obviously! Definitely some minor chafing by the end though. 7 times in a month would be a darn good showing for us now Grin

Same 😆😆 I remember on honeymoon we both reached a point of ok enough now! Lol. 8 times a day being the standard would really be a turn off for me.

OMG no. Just no.

EvenMoreCrisps · 11/08/2025 16:57

He's meant to be proving how he can enhance and ease your life if he were to be kept on as a boyfriend.

Is acting like a horny terrier attached to your leg attractive? Has he done any work on himself following his recent divorce, or just out rutting like a wild animal?

Lemonsugarpancake · 11/08/2025 17:01

8 times a day is a full time job! No thanks.

Jeesh. 8 times in a day!! DH wants it every day which is too much for me and I thought that was bad.
You haven’t responded to how he reacts when you say no though? For me that would be the deciding factor. If he sulks then yes leave. If he’s agreeable then it’s worth saving imo

coxesorangepippin · 11/08/2025 17:07

If this is real 😂

Then no, 8 times a day is ridiculous

You must be red raw

Littleredgoat · 11/08/2025 17:08

Whereas I hate it a few months in when the frequency drops. Feel a bit cheated!

I have quite a high drive. Get into a relationship because I think we are evenly matched and then things start to calm down... Feel duped 😂

We’re both 30. At first, I thought it was because he hadn’t had sex in a year (he recently got divorced) and was just enjoying sex again. I thought he would have settled down by now, but it seems to be getting worse and he just wants more and more!

Wonder why he got divorced...

MounjaroMounjaro · 11/08/2025 17:10

Bloody hell, eight times? Is he taking Viagra? Does he think you're Bonnie Blue?

Ugh! Sorry OP this is not good

ginasevern · 11/08/2025 17:13

OP, I'd protect myself and stop sending him "naughty" photos if I were you. You haven't known him long and you don't know where they'll end up.

TheBewleySisters · 11/08/2025 16:33

Is he a fantastic lover?

It sounds like he has lots of stamina!

Damn, thats not good!

How do you deal with that?

ForTipsyFinch · 11/08/2025 17:17

He sounds like an absolute sex pest tbh. Asking for pictures in between would be an absolute turn off for me. But how is he reacting when you say no? That’s the main point here.

TheWalkingEyebag · 11/08/2025 17:19

One of my first boyfriends was a bit like this. We couldn’t just watch a film or have a drink at home without him trying it on. It was constant and gave me the ick. It got to the point where I’d always make plans outside of the house so we could actually talk. I ended it because, despite him being lovely in so many other ways, we were sexually mismatched. It sounds like you are in a similar position. If you really like him other than the constant sex, talk to him about it. Be honest. If nothing changes, he’s not the one for you.

Agapornis · 11/08/2025 17:19

What does he do when you say no?

I wouldn't send photos on a point of principle. Three months is not enough time to build that trust. Hope you're at least cropping out your head.

It’s not at all concerning. There is nothing wrong with your preference to be able to do other things without being interrupted for sex.

I would say you are just mismatched, but two things bother me- he’s blaming you for being so attractive he can’t help himself and he is treating you like a sex doll rather than paying attention to what you want.

You are not a blow up doll, you are a sentient woman who gets to decide how often she wants to have sex based on her own interest, not his.

This.

Although I struggle to imagine who wouldn't be mismatched with him. So we're back to the sex doll.

nomas · 11/08/2025 17:27

OP, you are not the problem here. He is too demanding.

You only wanted sex twice and ended up having it 8 times. Was it to please him?

SarahSaharah · 11/08/2025 17:28

Dump him

This is abusive and not normal when you don't feel the same.

ChrisMartinsKisskam · 11/08/2025 17:29

So eight times a day and wanking at your pics as well 😂

your first mistake was sending him pic hope you have cropped out your head

I would sneakily get into his phone and delete them

honestly he’s going to be one of those who is badgering you for sex 2 days after you have given birth

Vegemiteandhoneyontoast · 11/08/2025 17:30

8 times a day! You must be constantly washing, the man's treating you like a cum bucket.

I couldn't put up with that and would be dumping him pronto.

PearlsPearl · 11/08/2025 17:31

8 times a day?! Who can be bothered with that? You are not the problem, the teenage horndog you're dating is. Set a boundary!

Walton25 · 11/08/2025 17:32

That is not cool.

You really have to change the narrative and say no, not again.

IVbumble · 11/08/2025 17:34

He sounds like a juvenile dog marking his territory.
