Is it a physical necessity to have sex at least once in a relationship? Do you think this is possible?

I have lived with a man for 21 years now and we have never had sex together. I can also name numerous women I know who live with men whom they do not have sex with and never will. We are not weird in anyway, and infact I'm sure we are considered perfectly normal, and hopefully in some ways you are the same as us and will know many people who live with members of the opposite sex but do not, and never will have sex together. Why is this and why are we nothing out of the ordinary?
Because, we are fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, brothers and sisters!!! So, in answer to your question of "Is it a physical necessity to have sex at least once in a relationship?" it most certainly isnt in the majority of male/female relatioships that ALL of us will no doubt be a part of in some way! Men and women coexist in families and (except very rarely!) do not have any kind of sexual relationship, and this includes people who live in adopted families.
I think what you mean is intended to apply to male/female friendships. As I have 'relationships' with my male family, male friends,my boyfriends friends, male work colleagues and I even have a form of relationship with the men who work in my local shops, and the mechanics who fix my car and so on. Not surprsingly, with about 99.9% of these men I have had no sexual relations with them (ESPECIALLY family members :-) ) and I'm sure I never will. So from that short analogy it is very possible, infact even likely that male/female relationships can easily exist without sex. Even close male/female friendships happily occur with a lack of sex, often you begin to see a close friend as a kind of brother/sister figure who you simply cannot imagine sleeping with. If it was not possible for male/female relationships to exist in isolation to sex then we would have slept with about half of the people we have relationships with throughout our lives, and it would be impossible to have a monogamous relationship with one person and still form new male/female friendships. For most that is simply not the case!
Hope this helps you a little-all the best!

Since the fundamental purpose of having sex is to carry on our species, then you can bet that the drive to have sex is part of our basic nature.
There are those who have low libido for physical or psychological reasons and choose not to have sex.
There are also those who choose not to have sex in a relationship for moral reasons.
Can we coexists? Absolutely! Intmacy between two people can be experienced without sex. Is it a need? No, not like food or water... you won't die with out it. Does if FEEL like a need? For many people, yes.

I'm sure it is possible if the people were virgins and got married...but if you've had sex before, you COULD live without it but whether you're willing to or not is a different story...I don't think it's a necessity but it's a boost for every relationship..that's my opinion anyways

Actually, men without women are incomplete. Women like men are incomplete. Men and women complement each other. Without any, one would not be satisfied. For there is no suitable partner for men other than women and vice versa.
Now, sex is an expression of sexuality, wherein one is enabled to gop beyond himself. Sexuality can be utilized with the use of genitals (sex) and non-genitals like through deeds of kindness.
The answer, yes.
But it all depends on the woman, for the woman controls the urges of a man.
Hope to have helped!

Its the male gender that is the animal. We need to mate to keep the human species alive, or we can artificially inseminate woman to carry a human but that is a different field and should not be tampered with.

Some people make the world special just by being in it.
so i think a couple who are soulmate to each other can jolly well co-exist without sex.

if a relationship has formed without sex, it means that the male has failed to seduce the female and he is still trying to do so. when he gives up, the relationship ends.

Why would they otherwise want to coexist? To hear women whine?

They can not. Sex is what categorizes people into men and women ;-)
