So both parties are physically/emotionally attracted to each other lets say but they're both submissive, or one has HL and the other LL (/r/deadbedrooms if you want more), or one's into monogomy and the other is polyamorous.
Just a few examples that confirm it's not a 'myth'.
A few anecdotes you mean. Polyamory usually signals a low quality mate, and is tangential to sexual compatibility at best.
Submissive usually means some disorder with the male.
There are tons of disorders that could impact sexual quality of life, but between 2 healthy individuals who are attracted to each other, sexual incompatibility is a myth.
This is some fucked up shit. Submissiveness is a disorder? No it's not.
Sure we can play this game because it's a tautology. My sexual preferences are different from yours? It's a disorder, doesn't count, you aren't healthy.
If I want sex a few times a month and my partner wants sex every day that means I'm not attracted to them? No, it's well established people have differing sex drives and sex drives change with age.
> Clearly you live on some other planet where people don't have sex before marriage
I admit that I really don't belong here in this world. I'll give you that.
Was I a virgin before I married? No. But when I learned about the facts of sexually transmitted diseases back in 1990, I chose to stop. After that, I got tested twice for STD's: once when I started dating a girl in 1993 who I was serious with, and knew that if I married her she needed to know if I had contracted anything (I was clean, but we parted ways), and once more before I married in 2000 (just double-checking. No STD's).
Still, I haven't seen one response to my comment from anyone else that can explain why monogamy won't work to stop gonorrhea. Why people are so up-in-arms in this comment thread about another person's personal choice seems silly to me. You are free to do whatever you want! I'm not going to stop you. But, we all have to live with the consequences of those choices.
I made my choice. Sorry that so many of you seem to be offended by that, but I really don't care what you think of me. I guess I have to spend my hacker news karma on something :)
Nobody's offended by your choice, that's your personal call, but to think that your particular decision is one other people can or should make, forcing your will on them, is pretty arrogant.
"Sexually transmitted" diseases have been given to people through other means, the primary vector being blood transfusions. They're also something you can pick up from needles either by being careless or having a freak accident. There's many ways you can end up with a disease of this variety even if you abstain.
Factoring in that some people are carriers, they show no outward signs of being infected, means you must get tested if you're intending to participate in any sexual activity if you're looking to minimize risk. It doesn't matter what your history is.
So your "it's easy" answer is actually advice that's misguided at best and insulting at worst.
> Nobody's offended by your choice, that's your personal call, but to think that your particular decision is one other people can or should make, forcing your will on them, is pretty arrogant.
We are talking about physical reality here. Arrogance doesn't even enter into it. We each, as individuals, make choices, and those choices have consequences.

Primary? Are you serious? The primary means is through unprotected sex, hence the term "sexually transmitted". The blood supplies in most countries have been safe for decades.
