Mutual Attraction: When you and your partner have an intense physical and sexual attraction, good things happen. That irresistible chemistry sets the stage for a truly satisfying sexual relationship. Looks aren't everything though, and getting to know someone can make them a lot more attractive (except if they're an idiot, then they become instantly ugly). So while physical attraction is important and a great stepping stone, it's not everything.
Open Communication: Now, I some people finds it very difficult to discuss anything about sex. If that's you, remember good sex requires good communication.

If there is anything that needs work on your relationship, this is the way to solve it, so work on your skills if you need it.
Similar Sex Drive: Ah, the frustration of mismatched libidos. If you and your partner have similar levels of sexual desire and frequency, you're more likely to keep each other satisfied and fulfilled without one person feeling neglected or overwhelmed. Still, our desire fluctuates throughout our lives, just keep it in mind and seek help / resources when you're not on the same page.
Emotional Connection: Sex isn't just about physical pleasure—it's about connecting on a deeper level. When you have that emotional bond and intimacy with your partner, it enhances the entire sexual experience. Believe me, it's a game-changer! Even if you're having casual sex, you can connect with the other person. We both know it makes a huge difference. Do you feel comfortable? Can you even laugh during sex? Make mistakes and feel safe?
Exploration and Variety: Variety is the spice of life, and that applies to the bedroom too! When everyone is open to trying new things and exploring different sexual experiences within your comfort zones, the excitement doesn't fade. There will always be more things to explore and different ways to do the same activity. Read, get inspired, act on it and repeat!
Compatibility in Preferences: You and your partner have your own unique desires and preferences when it comes to sex. But here's the thing: when those preferences align and you're on the same page about what makes your hearts race and your toes curl, that's a recipe for satisfaction and mind-blowing pleasure.
Mutual Satisfaction: After getting down and dirty, you and your partner should both be wearing satisfied smiles. It's all about that mutual pleasure and enjoyment. When you both put in the effort to satisfy each other's needs and desires, magic happens. Everyone that wants an orgasm, get an orgasm (or maybe 5). Sex ends when we decide it ends.
Respect for Boundaries: Respecting each other's boundaries is crucial for a safe and consensual sexual experience. It's all about creating an environment where both partners feel comfortable expressing their limits and giving and receiving consent. Boundaries and limits change with time, don't forget that and check in with your partner. Having a safe word is also important, especially if you engage in any BDSM.
Ability to Adapt and Compromise: Life is all about adapting and compromising, and the same goes for your sexual relationship. Everyone needs to be willing to adapt and compromise when it comes to sexual preferences and needs. Finding that balance that caters to both partners' desires ensures a strong sexual connection.
