Sexual Compatibility: Myth or Reality?
« on: October 12, 2005, 09:00 AM »

Hello,

Each time we discuss premarital sex, someone asks, "what if you're not sexually compatible?"  I do not understand what they mean by that.  Is it just a smart excuse for premarital sex, or a genuine reason to sample multiple sexual partners before choosing one of them as a spouse?

Seun.

It can be multiple things:
  • the partners have different sex drives, e.g. man would od it every day, woman only feels like it once a week
  • the partners have different wishes and things that turn them on, e.g tha man likes to make love with the lights on, the woman only wants it in the dark or in dim lights
  • etc...

IN a healthy relationship, won't the wife husband be able to do some of the things his wife likes just to make her happy, and won't the wife do likewise? 

Considering how many different sexual approaches and attitues are available in the world today,
- One might have to sleep with the whole world in order to find someone who likes exactly the same things in the bedroom.
- The person who likes the same things in the bedroom might not like the same things outside the bedroom, which you won't notice before the marriage because you're too busy having sex.
- Preferences might change after marriage, in which case you end up 'sexually incompatible'.

In addition to this:
- Sexual attitudes and wishes can be faked before marriage.  The woman can pretend to be sexually adventurous and to like to have sex every day only to clam up after she has a ring on her finger.  What would you then do?

That's why I feel that the idea of sexual compatibility is over-rated.

You probably also need to bring the husband in the picture, unless this is about masturbation  Grin
But, yes, you're right, but if the differences are too big, it still might be a problem

Being sexually compatible is necessary, but not sufficient for a successful Marriage. I don't really know many people that have sex 24/7, maybe these rare specimens would have difficulty finding out if they are compatible in other areas
Indeed, preferences change, that may also be a reason why marriages fail. But that risk is also much bigger if you start from an incompatibility

That marriage would fail because of a lack of honesty to start with (a marriage you've been 'tricked' into?)

You are very right about that, Seun.  Both women and men can easily fake their feelings on sex before the marriage and there is one other thing to consider:

You can have sex with someone before marriage and it be the best thing in the world.  Then, you get married and the sex is still phenominal but then with time, it changes.  Maybe it's children or stress or whatever have you.  Does that mean that you are no longer compatible? 

The things that happen before marriage can change during the course of it.  We all change but our willingness to stay together is what makes the difference.  "Testing the waters" proves nothing.

On this issue, I guess I could really have a lot to say.. [Not implicating myself here..  Grin]

However, I guess I must add one other issue Seun has over-looked.. the physical aspects of sexual compatibility.. I must tell you right now, it is important.. We are all created uniquely and differently.. I would be a gross assumption to assume that we are all "compatible" in that respect..

Going to bed now..  Tongue

So you mean to tell me that you can be head over heels in love with someone and then just say, uh, nope, not anymore because we're not physically compatible?  Wouldn't you see that before you get naked?  Before you get physical you can see if someone has a body you don't like.

When I reffered to physical compatibility, I was not referring to beauty or attraction..

And in this case, you definitely can't see this part before you get naked...  Wink

Abeg o, I need an answer to this ASAP.

Were our parents sexually compatible before they got married then?

I believe mordernisation has muddled up the whole thing.

Sexual compatibility does not mean the ability to procreate, but rather the ability to have a healthy, fulfilling sexual relationship. There are a lot of unhappy marriages around, the only thing that really changed is that nowadays the partners don't accept that situation anymore and separate, while before, they were staying together, being unhappy;

It wasn't better in the old days, it was just different and older people just don't like change

I understand, CimonJorr.

But you know, libido changes in men and women that's why there are drugs to assist in this effort.  If a couple truly wants to make it work, counseling, therapy, or drugs (or in some cases all three) can be of assistance.

@ Vexxy..

Nope.. You still don't get me.. I mean "PHYSICAL dimensions and configuration".... size, contour, etc...

It is very easy to take this for granted, but it does really become a significant issue once the chips are down... Unless one hopes for surgical solutions, and even with that, one hopes for the best...  Sad

@ Vexxy..

I don't know how I can be more explicit without going against the rules of the forum  Sad...

I'm referring to when both anatomies of their respective copulatory organs are compared for compatibility during copulation..

I hope this is explicit enough.. if not, seek assistance from Great P or any other elder in the forum..

If the female anatomy is gargantuan enough to accomodate the expulsion of a new-born baby's big head and body, it can surely accomodate the introduction of the complementary male anatomic feature.

ok...

Senario 1..

What happens when the male anatomy is puny as compared to the females Huh.. or to flip the coin, the male's dimensions lie within the average distribution but the female's lie far to the high side of the curve Huh Huh

Senario 2...

What of when the female's passage is not as straight as it's supposed to be, but has an unusual contour which prevents proper insertion, passage, and forcludes pleasurable sensation during the process of intimacy..Huh Or if the male is such that it is remniscent of the letter "C" Huh


Both have been known to occur ! ! !


ps...

The increase in size we are referring to during child-birth is an occasional state of affairs brought on by hormonal changes... it in not the ususal state of affairs..  Tongue

Seriously, how likely are those scenarios?

And it does stretch, during child birth or no.  There are also lubrications that assist in initial entrance and specific things to spice it up a bit to make sure entrance is easier.

These excuses are not good enough!

So now the question is:

Will you wait until you find the lady you'D love and plan to marry and only engage in intimate acts with her OR will you use this excuse to have sex freely?

I see nothing wrong with sex between two consenting adults, as long as the protect themselves. No ecuses are needed.

The reason why so many people have a problem with pre-marital sex is that, before contraception and protection against STD's, there was a serious risk with it, especially if the man would run away from his responsabilities if the woman got pregnant.

In our current day and age this is no longer necessary, but old habits die out slowly.

Yes, I referred to marriage because the initial question was about premarital sex. Cheesy

But even with contraception and protection STD's can still be transfered and pregnancy can still arrise.

Of course, I just broadened the scope, but that doesn't invalidate the argument for premarital sex.

True, you could also be hit by a car while crossing the road to get to the park, even if you're careful, but that's not going to prevent you from crossing, I hope. You know strolling in the park is fun  Wink

Be very selective when choosing your parks, then.  Grin  And don't go there at night, but you do agree that it's very much fun to stroll in the park, don't you?  Smiley
