If your SO was compatible with you in every way except sexually, would you stay in a long term relationship with him/her?

[asheslee]

Let's pretend your SO is your best friend and deeply loves you. They make you laugh, share your interests, are loyal and always seem to be there when you need them most, but you are sexually incompatible. Would you stay in the relationship or bail?

[madhatters4]

i would see if we could close the gap in regards to where we are incompatible. then i would basically have to ask myself can i be happy with the sexual relationship as it is or will it cause me to be unhappy

unfortunately i do know that a truly unhappy dissatisfying sexual relationship will really impact how i feel in a relationship

[aficionado]

I would stay. I value emotional compatibility much more than sexual compatibility.

[aficionado]

Thanks for MHO!

[redeyemindtricks]

"Stay" is a non-concept here, because I would never, ever begin a rl with such a person in the first place.
For me, lust is the only kind of seed that can possibly grow into love, and commitment, and intimacy.

Tx for the MHLuv <3

[bunanababa]

well I would try to make it work. But he still sucks in bed after a while then I would have to leave. Good sex is very important to me

[underratedm]

Sexually incompatible like what he's soft and I'm rough or I'm sex all day everyday and he's sex once a month?

[asheslee]

Any of those things... Let's say your sexually adventurous and he's not, or maybe he can't seem to make you have an orgasm. Would you stay with him or leave?

[AndyOh]

Since sex can be such a major part of a relationship, I would probably have to bail. I have made that decision a couple of times in my past.
You come home from a date, get in bed... and it just does not work and one of the partners (me) is left frustrated with desires not met. After a while it gets pretty old. Sorry to sound cold, but that is from personal experience.

[cavmanier]

I think I'd be okay possibly but I also think it would be impossible for me to compatible with her in every other way because that would mean she's open and would want to please me so the sex could ultimately become good. It could be incompatible if I wasn't attracted to her and that would be a deal breaker. I might as well date a man or a tree then.

[Browneye57]

Oh god no. BAIL

Honey, sex is the glue for a relationship. Without it you're just roommates. Find someone you're truly compatible with - it's a WHOLE lot better.

[asheslee]

I asked hypothetically because I am interested in how people think about relationships. My husband is the best lover I could ever imagine.

[Browneye57]

So, you made up shit? LOL

[asheslee]

No, not once did I say I was experiencing this and didn't know what to do. I just asked the question. I also asked if people would rather work for a man or a woman.

[Browneye57]

Whatevs toots.
Nobody wants to work for a woman - they change their mind too much. :)

[0112358]

RUN. Lifetime of misery ahead.

If you're already married with kids... then there's no good option ahead.

[JessetheTerrible]

I'd definitely suggest an open relationship. We continue the relationship, but both of us can have separate sexual flings

[Prof_Don]

I would break up but remain friends, seeing we are compatible in many ways

[nameus3r]

Yes. I won't care, if the rest is great (and I care about sex a lot)-

[art84]

Break up for the better so that she could be with someone who is sexually compatible with her.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I'll stay if I already married her. But I try my best to make it work for both of us sexually.

[445533guy]

that's when long term relationships really happen and work out,

[Berra_Will]

A good sex life is one of a few aspects of a relationship I find to be a deal breaker. If it can't be resolved, I'd bail.

[Anonymous]

Id stay with her and than just fucker other women on the side.

[Account]

No, I would not.

[Crap_it_is_me--]

Of course. I would stay.

[Bleepasaurus_RexEwww]

What do you mean by incompatible?

[asheslee]

Let's say your sexually adventurous and he's not, or maybe he can't seem to make you have an orgasm. Would you stay with him or leave?

[Bleepasaurus_RexEwww]

I'd try to work on it... eventually if I couldn't ehm I'd leave

[Chris_68]

No. It's important to be sexually compatible.

[Glen68]

depends what you mean by sexually incompatible

[asheslee]

Let's say you are adventurous in the bedroom and she only wants missionary position in the dark or vice versa. Another option is that you want sex a few times a week, but she only wants it once a month.

[Glen68]

well I've been in similar situations where exs have not been into bjs but personally I can't get enough of them but I've tried to make it work but unfortunately the urge gets to be to much and we part ways

[asheslee]

LOL. Thank you for your honesty.

[Glen68]

it's hard to find someone you love that is an exact match sexually to but I'm willing to comprise but I think everyone has one thing they really like that they don't want to live without

[Luna12]

Stayyy

[Anonymous]

stay :).

[Marinepilot]

Aw hell naw !
