Sleep overs

My 15yr old stepson wants a sleepover nearly every weekend, we usually allow 2 a month but it’s getting tiresome now that he asks every weekend and just goes on and on until we give in. If he’s not at home then he wants to stay at a friends but it’s usually at our house.
I never had friends stay like this, nor his dad and he’ll ask for 1 friend to stay then bring a different one home.
Is this what teenagers do now? Am I out of touch or is it reasonable to say 2 a month and that’s it!!!!

DD2 is 15 and has sleep overs every Fri and Sat and most nights in the school holidays, luckily all of her friends parents are happy to facilitate this the same as us so they just swap around all the houses. It doesn't bother me, it makes her happy and I get to know her friends really well too.
