Tips to handle sexual incompatibility:

Woe and win:  Find ways to seduce your partner and bring him/her to a state where he/she feels aroused. Responding to some of the non-sexual cues of the active partner can also help arouse interest.

Communication: It is crucial to communicate your sexual desires to your partner.  Avoid sounding demanding, critical or accusatory.

Don’t force: Strictly avoid insisting with your partner to try newer positions to enhance pleasure.
