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?

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

Don't encourage him.

Personperson · 12/08/2025 13:15

I was going to say surely that's part of an exciting new relationship then I saw 8 times day!
Ain't nobody got time for that. And your poor lady bits.

Jesus is he endless jizz guy.

I mean it's great he can't get enough of you but that is not sustainable surely!

Don't encourage him.

I’m a woman, thank you. Good lord, there are some deeply bitter individuals on this thread. Why is it so difficult to believe that there can be a couple 20 years apart who have as much fun as my DH and I do, or have entirely matched sex drives? Catch hold of yourselves and stop being such snidey trolls.

He sounds really tiresome. Being pestered for sex is the biggest turn off. Hasn’t he realised that yet? It’s clearly turning you off too otherwise you wouldn’t have posted on here. Do you ever say no to him? What would he say/do if you did?

Louise122 · 12/08/2025 17:59

Sex addict or he’s on drugs.
I’d be getting rid pronto

OonaStubbs · 12/08/2025 18:00

8 times a day is 56 times a week. That is too much sex for anyone. It can't be healthy.

TransitionPrimarySecondary · 12/08/2025 18:03

Then once you are into him he will want sex with other women. Talking from experience. He needs help and you def need to run to the hills

LaraS2511 · 12/08/2025 18:06

8 times a day???!!!!!!!!! Yikes when do you work, look after children, clean, cook, look after your house etc????? Absolutely unbelievable!!

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!

I guess you now know why he is divorced.

Put very simply, he is a sex pest. Get rid.

Dragonfly97 · 12/08/2025 18:25

I had this with a boyfriend years ago; he used sex as a way to try to control me. I was working full time and he wasn't working at all, so he could lie in bed the next day while I had to be in work for 7.30am. If I turned him down he wouldn't speak to me, even when it was a health issue. Does your boyfriend sulk if you turn him down? It's a red flag. I wouldn't put up with it now.

PigletSanders · 12/08/2025 18:26

He doesn’t sound well. Pestering you all day long for sex, up to eight times a day is fucked up.

Jayne35 · 12/08/2025 18:38

We used to be like this but did not see each other daily, mostly just weekends (he had been single for a couple of years) It slowed considerably once we moved in together and got married, maybe once a week now, we have been together 20 years though. If I wasn’t happy with that amount of sex I would say something and if not compatible split.

8 times in a day!!?? How tiresome 🤔🤨

DiggingHoles · 12/08/2025 19:22

Nothing worse than a sex-pest. If you stay with him, he will be posting here in a few years time, complaining you "without sex from him".

Pelsall116 · 12/08/2025 19:34

God, I can think of few things worse! Run for the hills

zacsGranny · 12/08/2025 20:00

Strange that OP hasn't come back to answer anyone.
I think the main question is . . . how does he react when you say no????

Not much time to post on MN when you’re shagging 8 times a day!

Mackerelfillets · 12/08/2025 20:36

Are you sure he's not having a little blue pill? At 30, 8 times a day on a regular basis is not normal.

Anyahyacinth · 12/08/2025 20:52

It sounds deeply unsexy, like he is working something out unrelated to you ...I'd feel used and unaroused by that. Sex should be mutual (obviously)

FastGoldCat · 12/08/2025 20:52

Please don't send him any naughty photos where you can be identified in them. If you've already sent some, I'd delete them off his phone when you see him next.

So you’re 70? 🫢

Not sure it’s us being trolls.

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 😂

On this poster, 18 months ago they started a thread after they had ‘angry spots erupting all over their fanny’ and apparently hadn’t ‘DTD for well over a year’, so yeah, full of shit I reckon. 😆
