If you don’t have sex before marriage how do you know you are sexually compatible?

Dear Lady,

As for the current situation. There are a few things to be said here. Firstly, 4 months is a very short time to get to know someone.

I would always suggest to wait at least for 6 months before deciding to get married. There are lots of different aspects that need to be looked into when you get married to someone. However, I do understand sometimes you just know.

Signs of sexual compatibility

I understand this is a big concern as sexual compatibility is important in a marriage. It’s especially important as it helps in reconciliation after arguments and fights and to find your way back to each other. It helps increase intimacy not just physical but also emotional intimacy.

As for intimacy and sexual compatibility it is important. It’s also not very common for a man to say “no”.
It is a bit of a concern here. There could be various reasons for this. Is he a virgin? If this is the case he maybe afraid that he will be judged or he may not satisfy you.
In that case it’s hard for you to understand if you have sexual compatibility with him.

Does he have erectile dysfunction?

It’s also possible that he has erectile dysfunction and maybe he does not want to disclose it. This is a reason for which many men avoid intimacy before marriage.

Also do probe more to understand why he is saying no. Is it related to any religious beliefs? Worst case is to consider a prenuptial agreement.

How to know you have sexual compatibility?

Sexual compatibility is important in a marriage. It actually helps you to achieve emotional intimacy. There are only a few things you can check, one is if he is okay to make out with you and even if he is interested and okay with oral sex or even using yours hands I would suggest that. That would give you the opportunity to see if he gets hard ruling out a sexual dysfunction.

Find out about previous relationships

Furthermore, has he had any previous relationships? What do you know about this? That would also help a little in understanding the situation.

I would also advice you to learn more about his family and his parents and the way the parents interact with each other.

How his dad treats his mother

This will give you a lot of insight into what he will be like post marriage. Please do take some time before getting married and don’t rush since it’s just been 4 months.

If you are thinking how do I become sexually compatible with my partner then you can consider pre-marital counselling. Take care and I hope everything works out.

Hope this helps.
