My sex drive (when I'm not depressed to the point of SI) is stronger than my husbands. I do have a favorite toy which helps deal with the physical need, although the psychological need is harder. It's hard to be rejected (in my case my husband is here with me turning me down) and I miss the closeness with another person.
As far as telling other people- it's none of their business unless you want it to be. Do your parents tell you when they have sex? I hope not. They certainly don't need to hear if you do. I'm married and have three children, but I still never told my parents i have sex, not because I am ashamed or it's wrong, but because I don't feel it's their business. With you, you're an adult and can make adult decisions, don't worry about what your parents think.
Admittedly I was horrified when my sister found my birth control pills and told my mom. It was dumb to be embarrassed though. I found out that despite all mom's judgments she made about people who had premarital sex, she was pregnant with me when she got married and she wasn't 100% sure the man she married was even my father. I would doubt your parents were virgins when they got married.
