Mid 20s couple

[Sunshinehappy123]

Hello everyone :)

me and my partner are 24 and 25 and have been together for 2 and a half years, we’re in a great relationship,

I recently went on holiday with my friends and told them that we only have sex once or twice a week, if I’m honest this does me and my partner fine! When we do have sex it’s amazing, also we’re currently living with his family who are always in, it’s a small house and our bedroom is directly on top of the living room. And when we do have it it’s great! Don’t get me wrong for the first 5/6 months we were at it a lot but I wouldn’t say I have a very high libido, my friend then went on to say this was really strange and her mum and dad have sex more than that, and that it’s just very weird.

can I ask AIBU with this? I know we’re mid 20s and people think you should be at it like rabbits, but everyone’s different surely lol?

If you and he are happy it’s really nobody else’s business!

i thought this also, it did annoy me abit! If I’m honest a lot to do with it is the fact we’re living with his family while we’re saving for a house and I’m currently going through an endometriosis diagnoses which is off putting in itself!

Your friend seems to be very involved in other people's sex life's

We do use them to be honest! Well mainly vibrators, We have a great connection and I get lost in it when we have sex so I have no complaints haha :) I think it just got me when my friend said what she did! But I guess everyone’s different x

@Sunshinehappy123 don’t worry about what she said girl as long as you and your man are happy :). You are right everyone is different. This made me think of anytime I would stay with my ex with one of our families haha. My libido I would say is on the higher side especially depending on where I’m at in my cycle. We often came up with ways to help one another without getting too embarrassed by family, as we were lovingly teased a few times haha

Once a quarter - 35&43

@Sunshinehappy123 everyone is different! Hormones and health issues like I mentioned also play a big role. It’s also tough to use toys I have found in the house with family. My weakness is sometimes I would just not care when I felt all aroused but then I’d get embarrassed later haha

Sounds incredibly normal. Normal is a wide span. 1-2 xx week after over 2 years together is definitely in the typical range.
There is no right or wrong but there are averages and you are not an outlier.

what @NinaOakley said

Just because she said it, doesn't actually means that it actually happens in her world! It's not something that you could find evidence for, to dispute!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. There are no rules to how often people should have sex.

In fact, your friends are obviously caught up in the lie that unless you have constant sex something is wrong with you. That's garbage. Who makes up these ridiculous claims.

You are absolutely normal. Enjoy your normality
