What Is Sexual Compatibility?
Sexuality compatibility can be defined as physical attraction, having similar sexual preferences and turn ons and enjoying sex with each other.
Like sexual tension and chemistry, sexual compatibility is a must in any romantic relationship where you also want to have amazing sex, and it’s definitely required in a sex-only relationship.
But that’s not all you need to know about sexual compatibility..
What You Need to Know About Being Sexually Compatible
There’s a lot to know about sexual compatibility besides just the definition. Read on to learn more.
1. Sexual compatibility can be a deal-breaker.
Rather, sexual incompatibility can be. If you’re vanilla but your man prefers or even needs rough sex, then resentment might build between the two of you. You might wonder why vanilla sex isn’t enough while he may wonder why you just can’t open up in bed. Perhaps you want daily sex, but he doesn’t.
If you want to give your man back-arching, toe-curling, screaming orgasms that will keep him sexually addicted to you, then you'll find them in my private and discreet newsletter. You'll also learn the 5 dangerous & "dumb" sex mistakes that turn him off and how to avoid them. Get it here.
If you’re so incompatible that you can’t find a middle ground, it might be the death knell of your relationship. Sexual compatibility is one reason why some people avoid relationships, too. If you know you won’t like the same things early on, it may be better to avoid getting too emotionally involved.
2. You can determine sexual compatibility before you have sex.
To determine sexual compatibility, you can be upfront and ask what types of sex he likes, how often he likes sex and similar questions. Talking about sex can be hard. Learn how to use sexual communication to improve your sex life.
You don’t necessarily need to be direct, however. You could ask telling questions to see if he might have the same kinks as you, how sexually open he is and how important sex is to him.
Some people don’t like answering these questions directly or indirectly. For some women, however, this is a sign that they’re simply not sexually compatible with a man.
Knowing how sexually compatible you are can be beneficial. We all know how high hormones run in the beginning, which can make it difficult for you to tell if you’re truly compatible. As the dust settles, you may be in for a shock if you didn’t look for signs of sexual incompatibility up until then.

3. Women often suffer from sexual incompatibility more than men.
While it isn’t always the case, it’s the women who typically wind up dealing with so-so sex. After all, a man almost always gets off, but penetrative sex rarely does it for a woman without clitoral stimulation at the very least. Even if you’re sexually compatible, vocalizing what you need is necessary to having mutually satisfying sex. Otherwise, you may wind up with many partners who don’t realize (or even care) about the ways in which you’re incompatible.
Women also often have difficulty talking about sex and asking for what they need and want for a variety of reasons. Women are often taught to be agreeable and to suppress their sexual urges regardless of how hurtful this can be. Again, our guide to sexual communication can help (read it here).
Plus, your man will find it hot when you’re being active in your sex life, and he’ll definitely appreciate when you’re having a good time!
4. Incompatibility can hurt your relationship.
There are people who will tell you that sex shouldn’t be the entire foundation of your relationship. Obviously, we at the Bad Girls Bible want our readers to have amazing sex and think sex is a significant part of a romantic relationship, but we also agree that it’s not everything.
However, sex is important, and if you’re not happy with sex, you’ll soon find yourself unhappy with other elements of your relationship. And you might find yourself growing resentful (Read: I Hate My Husband) and acting out in other ways, which can further damage your relationship.
People who ignore this sexual incompatibility at the beginning of the relationship could be making a grave mistake.
Psst, did you know bad sex is one reason why women cheat? Men, too!
Examples of Sexual Compatibility
The following are a few examples of sexual compatibility.
- You and your man value sex approximately the same. Perhaps neither of you has a high sex drive or you both think it’s a significant part of your relationship. Either way, you’re on the same page.
- You like the same sexual activities. From oral sex to bondage (we advise starting with some light bondage)
- You’re interested in one another’s pleasure, which encourages you to communicate, experiment and be selfless.
- You focus on the journey and not the destination. In most cases, this means enjoying sex as an activity without placing too much emphasis on orgasm. This can be summed up as quality over quantity.
- You have sexual chemistry. Discover 14 ways to build sexual chemistry and have great sex.
- You both put effort into sex outside the bedroom. This means seducing one another, coming up with ideas for sex and making time for sex, among other things. Looking for ideas? Although, there are plenty of other options available to you.
If you’re getting the idea that sexual compatibility can be increased with an open mind, an exploratory spirit and willingness to please your man, then you’re absolutely right!
How to Be More Sexually Compatible
Few people are intensely sexually compatible right from the start. However, you can often become more compatible with your partner over time with a little effort.
1. Try things your man likes or is interested in.
Not only can you exchange this favor to get him to try whatever it is that makes your blood rush, but you may find that you like something unexpected simply because you were open to suggestion. Of course, making your own suggestions is a way to keep your sex life amazing.

2. Pay Attention to Your Partner
Some people approach sex like they’re reading from a manual. They do the same things no matter who they’re with. But every partner is different, so you’ve got to listen to their requests and pay attention to body language. Then, you have to adjust your style to cater to the person who you’re stripped down with at the moment.
3. Be able to enjoy various types of sex.
This one may actually be harder than it sounds if you’re simply a vanilla person. But if you can enjoy various sexual activities and a range of sex from gentle to rough, it’ll be easier for your sex life to be mutually satisfying.
4. Open up about sex.
Sexual compatibility increases exponentially when you become more open-minded. A conservative or religious upbringing can make this difficult. And you may experience guilt or shame over your sexual urges if you were taught that they were bad.
The good news is, those urges are normal. Sex can be beneficial for your relationship and your own health. In fact, masturbation is good for you.
Use this knowledge to allow yourself to open up, but take baby steps if you’re feeling unsure. Try adding lingerie, for example. 10 tips for choosing the right lingerie.
Or you can learn how to be more confident when riding your man and surprise him the next time you have sex.
5. Break Out of Your Routine
No matter what you do, don’t get caught up in routine. Have sex in different rooms, locations outside of the house, at different times of the day and in different positions.
This allows you to experiment and find ways in which you’re compatible. It also ensures that you don’t get stuck in a rut doing something that only one of you likes (or that neither of you loves!).
6. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
If you haven’t yet caught on, communication is essential to good sex and being sexually compatible. No one expects you to be a mind reader or a psychic. Feel free to ask your man what he wants and to tell him what he needs to do for you to enjoy yourself.
Taking out the guesswork saves a lot of time or hassle, and you should feel comfortable enough to be direct about most things in your relationship. In fact, you might find that you’re more sexually compatible than you thought just by discussing your issues!
7. Focus on the positive.
Finally, focus on the ways in which you and you man are sexually compatible. Researchers have discovered that individuals who felt they were sexually compatible were more satisfied with their sex lives than those who only had the same turn-ons alone [1]. Interesting how that works!
Although everyone has their own sexual preferences, you can set a precedent for a healthy and steamy sex life by encouraging sexual compatibility between yourself and your partners.
Orgasm Every Time. Easily. Here’s How...
I want to tell you about my friend Karen.
Karen came to me one day. She was hysterical.
She told me that her marriage was falling apart because she and her husband didn’t have satisfying sex.
Every time they were intimate, Karen was faking her orgasms. It turns out she couldn’t orgasm during sex.
In fact...
She never had an orgasm in her entire life. Not one!
This left her feeling embarrassed and ashamed. And...
She completely hid this from her husband. Thankfully...
It turns out that there is a way for any woman to orgasm. Easily. And have multiple vaginal and full body orgasms during sex and masturbation.
I shared the process with Karen.
After she followed the simple process, she could barely come to terms with how...
Quickly and dramatically her sex life changed.
We met up a few months later and...
She would not stop talking about it,
“I thought I was one of those women who couldn’t orgasm. I used to think I was ‘broken’ and ‘unfixable.’ This saved my sex life, and that saved my marriage.”
Even if you currently struggle to orgasm during sex or when masturbating, this process will also work for you.
And best of all, you don’t need to do anything weird or uncomfortable to start having the best orgasms and sex of your life.

Adriana, this was an interesting read! Sexual compatibility between the couple, in my opinion, is critical for any relationship to be successful. In reality, it must evolve over time as the couple learns to communicate openly and understand each others sexual desires, making sex more enjoyable.
