He wants to know if we are sexually compatible….

by Rod Smith

Reader’s question: My boyfriend says we have to have sex to see if we are sexually compatible before he will continue seeing me. What do you think?

Rod’s answer: What an old, and ridiculous line. Move on! Your boyfriend is what I call a “pp” or “penis propelled.” If you really want to assess sexual compatibility it can be done without removing a single item of clothing!

First: Compare credit reports and financial statements to see how each of you handles money. How you respect, use, and save money, will exert more power over your long-term sexual compatibility than any immediate sexual encounter will indicate. It’s very hard to be passionate, faithful lovers when you are fighting over maxed-out credit cards. Little will challenge your sex life as much as scrambling for money and blaming each other for the poor use of resources.

Second: Compare your attitudes toward and your relationships with your immediate family. You can tell everything worth knowing about a person by how he (or she) respects and appreciates his parents and siblings. People who show little respect for their immediate family, or little desire to care for them, are unlikely to be a successful long-term husbands or wives, no matter how good or passionate they might be in a bedroom.

Third: Assess attitudes toward hard work. A shared, healthy attitude and high regard for hard, honest work, will give both of you useful insight into your long-term compatibility much more effectively than will the immediate experimentation with each other’s bodies.

    Of course all of these are important when it comes to getting married. However, I disagree with what you say about a person’s relationship with family being an indicator of how that person will be as a partner. Some adults were physically, sexually, and/or emotionally abused or neglected. They may have decided to put down some distance from their families in order to reflect and heal. What’s important is whether a person is willing to talk about those experiences and feelings with a potential marriage partner. What’s important is a serious desire and effort to not be abusive and to learn from one’s abusive past. There are many myths about families in this country. It is a myth that only people close to their parents and siblings can be loving or in succesful intimate relationships. Some people realize they will never have the love and closeness from their parents and siblings that they would like, so they go in search of friendships and other relationships that can provide that love and acceptance. Some people care about their elderly parents, but cannot take responsibility for their care for a variety of reasons.

    Also, sexual compatibility is important. When two people have sex they learn a lot about each other. I don’t blame a man or woman for wanting to have sex before marriage. No one wants to get a divorce because they have found out they are simply not sexualy compatible or are a poor fit! It’s possible to be financially compatible with someone but not sexually compatible. Please don’t confuse apples with oranges.
