New boyfriend wants sex all the time

264 replies

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?

My 50 year old husband (nearly 20 years between us) has the highest sex drive of anyone I’ve ever been with - I LOVE it. 8 times a day is not unusual for us 😂

We hat is wrong with you that you think boasting about this kind of thing at your age in a mums site is appropriate?

So do you really enjoy it? If you genuinely enjoyed the amount you wouldn’t be here writing a post about it. If you’re content with once or twice a day why do it any more? Why don’t you say no I’m good

Because they are a wind up

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!

Yeah, as others have said 19 year old understandable maybe, but 30? Maybe a strong reason why he’s divorced 🫣 a man of this maturity should understand that this is an unreasonable amount of sex, probably flat out with porn when your not there to give him his kicks. Sorry but just ick. My DH has a massive sex drive and I do not, 2/3 times a week is good for me but he’d gladly take it twice a day if it were achievable but with 3 kids it’s just not 🤷‍♀️

SecretNameforMN · 11/08/2025 22:24

What do you mean by 8 times? What constitutes the end of a "time"? An orgasm for him? Or for you?

How long does each "time" last? And do you count oral or just PIV?

YellowZebraStripes · 11/08/2025 22:26

What else do you have in common OP? You mentioned meals, drinks and activities, those are pretty generic things that most humans do. What else do you like about this particular relationship/person? Just thinking you might be getting bored.

Busybeemumm · 11/08/2025 22:29

Your answer is in what happens if you say I'm done and you don't actually want anymore sex. His reaction will tell you if you should stay or dump. Personally for me it would be a dump as it sounds exhausting and not respectful if you are not on the same page.

Why would it not be appropriate, this whole thread is about sex 😂

It really does - it’s actually my favourite colour 😂

It's a bit like enjoying a bit of cake and then having to eat 18 cakes in a row, or watching your favourite film every night for months, or listening to the same CD non-stop. Perfect way to go off it for life...

This is the perfect analogy for this.

I think most things in excess be it gorging on entire cakes or having sex 8 times a day are not good for the body,mind and/or soul.

And these behaviours usually stem from some sort of addictive behaviour or emotional issue that hasn’t been addressed.

Very bad ideas to send nudes or anything like that to anyone IMO let alone a new partner.

If they’re 70 female with a 50 year old male maybe something to boast about 😆 however if they’re a 30 year old woman having all that sex with a 50 year old man it’s nothing to brag about. I’m sure he’s feeling lucky though lol

this post is tongue in cheek btw 😆 mostly…😂

Travelfairy · 11/08/2025 23:40

Red flag. I would walk away, thats too much fir anyone. Obsessive

I’m the same age as OP 😂 I know it sounds like I’m on the wind up but we are absolutely the people for each other and I genuinely am very lucky to have him

No actually, I don’t think you are on the wind up.

I was just (sort of jokingly) saying a 70 year old woman with a 50 year old man might be something to brag about since that kind of challenges societal /patriarchal norms.

I have one, but thank you for the concern

DinoLil · 12/08/2025 00:25

Oh dear. Reminds me of husband no.2. Our first night away, he shagged me 14 times. Yep. 14. I had no sleep, I was sore beyond belief.

Our wedding night, he couldn't get it up.

I divorced him due to lack of sex and his alcoholism.

@Pluvia you know some women actually enjoy having a lot of sex. I'm not a man I can assure you and my wonderful resurrected sex life is very definitely not a fantasy 😘

"Don't be fooled by the few posts on here saying that they loved having sex eight times a day. There are a some posters (I'm guessing they're men) who love fantasising on here."

I think perhaps sex with the same partner does become boring after a while I certainly found that with my ex. Most of the negative replies on here I'd guess are from those in long term relationships. But there's definitely a honeymoon phase in a new relationship where you really fancy each other and both want a lot of sex. Just most of you have forgotten this.

There's a lot of sex and then there's 8 times a day. It also doesn't sound like it is always both OP and her partner wanting sex constantly.

Ringthebell26 · 12/08/2025 00:29

Flip me he’ll wear his knob off! 😂

I would not be able to cope with this.

Dabberlocks · 12/08/2025 00:33

"There's a lot of sex and then there's 8 times a day"

I know, right? Almost unbelievable, isn't it?

MyQuirkyTraybake · 12/08/2025 04:18

Icequeen01 · 11/08/2025 16:33

I would say no to him and stick to it and see how he behaves. If he goes into a huge strop and starts whinging it’s just because you are so fanciable and won’t take no for an answer I would seriously be re-thinking this relationship.

Don't "seriously think about", just dump if he thinks his penis is more important than your emotional well being.

8 times a year??? Your husband probably has a hobby that involves his willy 😂
