Sex File: He wants sex at very weird times

'Your boyfriend may just be intoxicated by desire, but the fact that you are already having a lot of sex and you find his interruptions annoying suggest that his behaviour is a bid for attention'

My new boyfriend gets turned on at the most inconvenient times. We might just be settling down to watch TV and he'll suddenly get frisky. I find these sorts of interruption annoying.

When you haven't been together very long, it is normal to want to have sex morning, noon and night. In the 'honeymoon period', you can't get enough of each other. You stay up all night making love, swapping the stories of your lives and sharing all your hopes and dreams and secrets. It's an intense and obsessive experience that typically lasts between six months and two years, but then the love bubble tends to burst and you stop idealising each other so much.
