It is very possible

It is possible, I'd hope to due to religious reasons.

Everybody will be different, some see it as vital, others don't.

I'm sure some people do make it work.

And there are other benefits to being in a relationship.

i assume youre talking about a romantic relationship
to think that a serious romantic relationship without sex is impossible is silly. there are a lot of sex-repulsed people out there. some people dont want to have sex because they have no interest in it. some people have long lasting romantic relationships that are sexless and they have sex with others as per their romantic partners acceptance.
there are many different types of people and relationship out there.

so, in answer to your question, its perfectly possible to be in a relationship without sex, and i know i personally would be able to be in one.

yes it can be done, their are other ways to connect with a person. It depends on the people in the relationship tbh.

If you're a guy and you say yes, stop lying to yourself.

It's definitely possible, but it seems like a very difficult thing to do these days. Depends on the person.

Tried it, absolutely horrible, cheated multiple times as a consequence. Do not recommend

Yes

Yes I definitely could. As long as were affectionate with each other and still had a laugh together, I could be in a sexless relationship easily. Relationships Relationships Relationships like this can work but only if both parties support not having sex

Considering it's possible to sleep with someone you don't even like that's quite a limited view of relationships.

Honestly, very much doubt it, would have to be a considerably good relationship in all other respects to give it up.

yes

What is there to explain? Sex isn't the only way of expressing love or sharing intimacy. It may be difficult,but it's certainly not impossible.

Ofc its possible. I bet there are plenty of relationships which are sexless, but still function perfectly well. Moreso if they both wnat that and less so if it's enforced.
