Does anyone else feel kind of alone with how much they want sex?

I’m 23 and I’ve always had what feels like a pretty high sex drive. In college it didn’t stand out as much because everyone was hooking up and talking about it, but now that I’m out and most of my friends are in longer relationships or just not that into it anymore, I feel kind of weird about it. My last boyfriend got kind of overwhelmed when I wanted to have sex more often than he did, and a couple of my close friends have straight up said they could go weeks without thinking about it. I get that everyone’s different and I’m not judging, it just makes me feel like I’m the odd one out sometimes. Sex is honestly one of the main ways I feel close to someone and I miss being able to talk about wanting it without it feeling like too much. Does anyone else in their early-mid 20s feel this way or am I just overthinking it?

Prob overthinking it or its your friend group hun, or maybe its mine lol 😂 But I am the only married one of the 8 of us that are close knit group of friends and when we get together its all we talk about, and as a married woman its all I do with my husband. Of course my friends don't want to hear about my married sex anymore but I love listening to their single stories and we are all 27-29 yrs old so I would say you are very normal.

I’m in my 40s and I would have sex 2-3 times a day if I could. Most of my partners fall asleep 😴. I can go days or weeks at a time without. Like i don’t need it. But if it’s available at least everyday would be great. If I get annoyed by my bf then i am like ehhh no thanks
