We are not using any protection or contraceptives. We are both sexual active every day. I don't know if it is a sex addiction or it's just normal to our age because we are just 20 years old thats why we are sexual active.

Daily sexual intercourse without any contraception or barriers (condoms) can adversely effect your health if you have an unwanted pregnancy (which is very likely to happen).

Are you trying to become pregnant?

From my understanding of "addiction" and "healthy relationships", doing something every-single-day may/may not be an indicator of the best relationship. This is debate-able, and only you can answer it. Are you two having sex because there is nothing else you enjoy doing together? Do you enjoy talking and communicating? What would you do if you did not have sex? Do you both want to have sex, or is it just a habit?

Why are you worried, and using the word "addiction"? I guess this indicates to me that you may be concerned that there is not more to the relationship? If not: if you are both having fun, enjoy each other's company, then being 20 years old is full of hormones. You can value your body and your relationship even more by using protection (condoms, hormonal contraception), as a pregnancy is very likely to happen with what you describe.

Having sex every day is fine and normal, as long as you both want it. It will not affect your ability to have a child.

Why are you asking your partner to wash herself to prevent disease? Do you have a disease you could give her? If so, you need to use a condom because some sexually transmitted diseases/infection can actually cause infertility - and condoms will not prevent all diseases.

Washing after sex will not prevent a person from getting a disease. It will not wash the disease away or even lessen the risks.

If you are having sex every day, and you both enjoy it, it's nothing that needs to be stopped or "controlled" - it's fine and healthy. Just make sure you practice safe sex, you both enjoy it and that both of you remain monogamous.

Hi,
As long as you both WANT to have sex every day, then it would not be considered an addiction or abuse. Does your girlfriend tell you she wants to have sex everyday?

I'm still curious why you are concerned? What triggered your question?

Sexually transmitted infections are caused by microorganisms (viruses and bacteria) that can not just be washed away. Even a vaginal infection that is "caused" by sex can not be washed away or peed away.

Just to reiterate the point Susan made: the only way to protect yourself from getting your girlfriend pregnant or from spreading STDs/STIs (sexually transmitted infections) is to use a condom each & every time!

There are no 'rules' to sexual activity - you shouldn't really have to "convince" her to have sex more, I'm sure you want her to want it more!

Why does she say that "sex must be once a week"? Do you know why she thinks this way? Sex can be once a month, once a week, every day...but there are no laws for this!

is it important for a female to release a liquid after sex?

Hi Anonymous,

When you are talking about releasing liquid do you mean orgasm or are you talking about the after effect of the man ejaculating inside which releases back out of your body?
