Sexual compatibility, I honestly feel if you have little to no chemistry in the bedroom, it reflects on your relationship, and whether or not you'll become bored with one another in the long run.

I believe if you can't have good sex and are not comfy with each other everything else just becomes awkward.

I think common interests and (sexual) compatibility are important but common interests will be there when sex won't, I think.

I think sexual compatibility is huge and does inform a lot of what the rest of the relationship will be like. Intimacy is important, and can be the difference between friends and lovers. Common interests are also important, though I think common values and world views are probably even more important.

This is one of the many 'either - or' questions that are pretty meaningless. Life is a continuum not an event. Likewise characteristics do not exist in a vacuum.
Sure shared interests are vital - but without sexual compatibility, it's probably not enough. Life is complex and nuanced - not easily captured by such a vapid question.

Shared interests aren't that important. We don't like that many of the same things, but our personalities just click really well. If you work that well with someone and you communicate well, you're bound to have fantastic sexual chemistry.

yup, gotta have the sex!

both common interests and sexual compatibility, definitely. being attracted to each other is important too (but not like being each other's 'show piece')

common interests but really if i wasnt attracted to him, he'd just be my friend and not be in a relationship with just similar interests

Both are important but I'd say that sexual compatibility is first, since it is the only thing I'm not gonna do with friends. I can always go hike with friends even if my men doesn't like hiking. But if it doesn't work in bed, what can I do? I experienced this before and I found no way out despite my tries, we had to break up.

If you aren't compatible in sex, then what's the point of the relationship beyond being just friends?
10/08/2012
None of those. I think mutual respect and appreciation for each other is most important. Without that, it won't matter what common interesets you have, how great sex is, or how attractive someone is.

I think common interests are pretty important or else what will you connect over? Talk about? Be passionate together about?

Common intrest are more important to me and my relationship, especially since currently i only see my partner for a limited amount of time, and while sex is important part of our intimate relationship, communication is much more. i've had relationships where my partner and i had little common intrest and it was miserable. i'd rather have meaningful conversations and go out and enjoy the same things as my partner than have a sexually charged relationship.

a little bit of each. we wouldnt work if all we had were common sexual interests. But of course i am attracted to him. The sex is great. and we have so many things in common. he is my best friend..

Sexual, because I find I'm more attracted to people with different interests than me.
