When it comes to sex, there are no universal rules. Every couple is different, as every person has their own set of likes and dislikes, preferences, and boundaries. Some couples with fiery sex lives get intimate on a near-daily basis, while others have a mutual understanding that frequency and intensity are unrelated. And while poor sexual compatibility doesn’t necessarily mean your relationship is doomed, a healthy sex life with a partner who truly gets you is never a bad thing.
Here are a few signs you and your partner aren’t just sexually compatible, you’re basically sexual soulmates.
You Can Laugh During Intimacy

Limbs are flying, knees are knocking, and let’s not even get started on the various sounds and bodily fluids. But couples with the strongest sexual compatibility know none of that really matters, and they don’t let it throw them off. Because sex is fun, and sometimes funny, and the ability to laugh with each other, even while butt naked and in positions you would never come close to clothed, is one of the surest signs of true intimacy and sexual compatibility there is.
You Touch Often With No Expectation of Sex
True intimacy starts outside of the bedroom. In fact, the majority of it happens outside of the bedroom. Sex is great, and an integral part of a strong relationship, but your sexual compatibility is lacking if every single time you have an intimate moment with your partner, it leads to sex. Lingering hugs, casual cuddling, a soft kiss just because, all with absolutely no expectation of sex—that is the mark of a couple with a stellar sex life.
You’re Open About Your Preferences
There’s nothing wrong with a one-night stand, and there’s no doubt an endless supply of stories of unforgettable sex born of them. But one of the most important parts of sexual compatibility with a partner is open communication. After all, how can your partner give you the mind-blowing sexual experience you’ve always wanted if they have no idea what it is? Partners with intense sexual compatibility have no qualms talking about everything from kinks and fantasies to more serious topics like boundaries in a relaxed, stress-free way.
You’re Not Afraid to Try New Things
We all have preferences in the bedroom, but how often do you and your partner mix things up just for fun? Couples with the most za za zu not only experiment but do so naturally, without forcing novelty or feeling uncomfortable about it. If you and your partner switch up aspects of your sex life, like the setting and timing of intimacy, from time to time, you probably have a strong spark.
Sex Feels Rejuvenating
This feels obvious, but a lot of couples in long-term relationships can fall into such a comfortable routine that sex falls right into the same monotonous pattern. Partners with intense sexual compatibility feel closer, calmer, and more connected after intimacy, not like they ticked a box on their weekly checklist.
