Sexual compatibility is a very important factor in any relationship if any relationship would be a success and if the relationship is working well in other areas then it’s up to both partners to put in the effort to find ways to make the sexual life work.

To be sexually compatible you need to have other factors in your relationship that create a relationship to make the bedroom such a wonderful place to be.

Knowing how to tell someone what you want and what you need to feel good is a huge step on the path to sexual compatibility but more importantly, listening is a key factor as well.
