For us, I believe it's more related to our perception of the person. Someone who might not be initially all that "interesting" sexually may become more desirable as we get to know them.. as their personality is revealed, they can become more interesting or desirable based on who they are, rather than simply how they look. Certainly, physical attraction is necessary, however we've found that as someone becomes more interesting and enjoyable on a personal/personality level, they can become more appealing on a physical level. There's no doubt that (for instance) a nice set of boobs can get our attention, but it's not the "be all and end all". It's long been said, for example, that an ability to make people laugh is a huge asset- things like that can definitely alter someone's perception of you, and it is these kinds of things, rather than a purely physical attraction, that I feel can create an enduring mutual desire. Obviously, at the very first, your tastes and chosen activities might be different.. I also think that "compatibility" would be related to a mutual willingness to try (within your own boundaries) things that the other enjoys, to pay attention to their responses, and learn to use those responses to more accurately render the experiences that the other will enjoy. Over time, I feel that people can become more "compatible" as they understand their partner(s) better, and learn to intuitively do or say the things that they enjoy. It's a beautiful thing, when it's so developed. That being said...sometimes, sexual compatibility just... doesn't happen. You might find someone attractive, intelligent, fun, and interesting.. but when it comes to the bedroom, for some reason... it just doesn't fly. We are humans... we can be so very unpredictable. Also, as we learn about someone, the things they do, the ways they are outside of the bedroom can also negatively affect how you view them as a sexual partner. The funny, intelligent, witty, enjoyable person who later reveals that they like to drink themselves into a coma on a regular basis can lose a lot of their appeal that way, if their partner doesn't find that acceptable or attractive.. just as an example. Ultimately, I believe it is highly dependent on the willingness of each party to adjust their methods/activities/preferences to each other... as you do, you learn to be more in tune, and your compatibility can grow.
