Anxious about my sex drive
Hey everyone. Based on the title, I think I might be too sexual for my husband, and I'm honestly starting to worry about it. I'm 18 and he's 22. We've been married for 6 months, and we both lost our virginity to each other. He's Arabic and Muslim, while I'm Latina and Catholic. Ever since we got married, we've been having sex every day. He leans more toward the romantic and vanilla side of things. We have sex, he feels satisfied, and he's ready to stop. But for me, it's like a switch flips, and I just want to keep going. I crave more, and I often wish he would be more dominant and continue having sex with me.
I think about it constantly. Every morning before he goes to work, while I'm cooking and he walks by, in the shower, while we're watching movies, when he's gaming, when he gets home from work—I'm always wanting him. Even when I'm on my period and we don't have sex because of his religious beliefs, we'll spend hours just touching and being close.
I actually get excited to go to sleep because I know the next day means I get to be intimate with him again. At the same time, I feel guilty because I can tell he's exhausted. I can see that sometimes he just wants to relax, but he still has sex with me because he loves me. When we can't have sex or he can't touch me, I get really emotional. Sometimes I'll hide so he doesn't see me cry because I want to be intimate to him so badly. He's made jokes before, saying things like, "I'm not going to have any left for tomorrow," and he laughs about it. He's also jokingly called me a "nymphomaniac." I know he's kidding, but it still makes me wonder if I'm asking for too much. I genuinely feel like I'm overdoing it, and I'm worried this could become a serious issue in our marriage if I don't figure out how to handle it.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? If not that’s okay, I would just like advice on how to overcome this before it becomes a problem in our marriage
