how much sex is 'average' for a normal healthy relationship

yesterday my and my boyf had sex 3 times, he wanted to start a 4th but i said no and then again he wanted it when we went to bed in the eve.

i feel like i should be a sex machine stationed in the bedroom. lol

ive told him and he doesnt hold it against me but he says hes just up for it all the time. is this normal?

Laura your body is your temple it belongs only to you. Tell him this. Tell him you can only give him what you can on a daily basis if he is still pestering you. good luck

However much both of you guys want. You should be comfortable with it and not feel forced though. When it becomes more demanding and you don't want to do it, then it becomes a problem. If you both are enjoying yourself its fine.

Some couples have lower libidos then others.

Some couples have a lot of sex and other don't have to as much. I read that having sex once or twice a week is considered average. It might be a problem when couples have sex fewer than 10 times a year. I do not think that is your problem. I guess a healthy number for you would be whatever you and your partner feels comfortable with.

If it's a new relationship, the activity would be more than average. However if this stands and last and last, it might be a guy that is sex addicted. Also depends a lot
on the ages.

I have no idea about average, but that matters less than mismatched drives. If you don't like having intercourse as much as he does, no matter the number, then you'll have to come to a compromise or face discontinuing the relationship.
Thanks for this!

Don't live by anyone else's standard for what is "average". You only live once, I say enjoy it lol.

thanks everyone!
i have anxiety over this so if I dont feel relaxed I want it even less and less.
it is a new relationship but he says that is Libido is like this all the time and has been since he first became sexually active. i dont think he has a sex addiction as he doesnt watch porn or masterbate (so he says!!) and that he waits for me to share his intimate moments with. which is lovely but it feels like it doesnt happen naturaly and as soon as we jump into bed he strips off and comes in for the plunge.

there isnt really an average. me and my boyfriend can have sex three or four times in one night. when we started dating it was a couple times a day every third day or so - we dont live together so we dont see each other every day. but its been 7 months now and its maybe three or four times a week. depending on how often i see him. if you feel comfortable and are enjoying yourself then there is nothing wrong with that
