14 Jul Can Sexually Mismatched Relationships Work?
Is the question #Grazia asked a couple of experts in this weeks magazine.
What is the definition of sexually mismatched?
- differing libidos
- differing kinks
- differing desires to explore new ideas
In my opinion in some instances sexually mismatched relationships can work. Successful relationships are down to communication, respect and compromise.
However if one decides that they have a strong sexual preference for BDSM or another kink considered risqué, then it may be something that a compromise can’t be reached on.
Even if couples are matched for a period of time, it doesn’t mean that once one libido has dropped or accelerated (which generally inevitably happens down to age, medicines and general fitness), or one decides they want to explore that one should ditch their partner and move on.
It’s about being sensitive to each others needs and both having a genuine desire to please and be pleased.
Of course if a compromise can’t be reached and one or both are unhappy, then maybe it is time to seek a new partner, however there isn’t a right or wrong answer one size fits all here. Everyone’s personal situation is different. However for some it is possible to have a successful relationship whilst being sexually mismatched.
