It is a rare occassion when a couple mutually agrees to be married but not engage in sex. Sometimes people do it for religious reasons, others there might be a physical challenge or impossibility. Sex, though is a basic need for most people. I hear in some countries they are considering making sex-for-hire legal for those with physical challenges since it is they deem it a basic human need. Even the (catholic) church will grant annulment if there is there is an "inability to establish and sustain conjugal love".
So there you have it.

i assume you propose "procreative", "contraceptive" ought to signify having sex for the point of battling being pregnant. it is organic in social species to verify bonds by ability of tangible affection, it is how relatives gadgets interior a much better team have a tendency to construct and secure bonds. The earliest bonds between a mom and new child, to illustrate, construct with the actual intimacy the outcomes from hugs and different touches that accompany searching after an infant. That go with for closeness is instinctive it is why finished isolation canchronic people mad. In Western Society the Puritan effect has led to a widely used conception that each and anyone actual contact between people has a sexual ingredient it is why some adult adult males so phobic about touching different. This has led to a cultural approach that sex is the only ideal way people can journey actual intimacy, and it is the deprivation of that quite than uncomplicated sexual launch that motives complications. In cultures the position people carry palms, hug, cuddle, or are in the different case allowed to exhibit affection bodily the sexual ingredient is way less compelling, even if it would properly be recent with the right human being, as interior the adaptation between a woman hugging her daughter and her husband. there is also the cultural conditioning we obtain that sex is an confirmation of deepest well worth or desirability, if boys are raised to believe that acquiring laid plenty is the mark of being a valuable or "manly" guy then in addition they're going to have a tendency to work out lack of sexual fulfillment as an indication of failure accepted.

Excues me but sex is not the only basic need for human beings... We all need love and acceptance too.... We are actually created to need God in our lives. Yes you can be happy even without sex if need be... It is a choice. There is such things as oral sex and masturbation and toys if there is no sex.... Intimacy and time together is worth and much better then any sex at all.... Love is spelled time and not sex.

I don't think you can have a healthy relationship without sex as it is the most intimate way that 2 adults can communicate with eachother. This changes as you get older and the natural drive is gone but as a couple who are not yet of a pensionable age to suddenly stop making love is a sign that something is definately wrong either with the relationship or with their health. Couples use sex to bring them closer to eachother. Without it you are only room mates!!!

I wouldn't be able to live w/o sex in a marriage. I like the feeling of being needed in bed.

Only if they both have no interest in sex. If it's one sided it will be a poor excuse for a marriage even though it may endure for some time for various reasons.

It is very possible if they both are willing to mutually give up sex. But if one does and one doesn't, then you have a problem. I've heard men who don't like sex exist, but I can't even begin to comprehend it.... Kinda like a unicorn, no one's ever seen one up close....

Anything is possible, I guess.
From my point of view - married 36 yrs. - I can't imagine NOT having sex. We both enjoy it and need it.

Yes, it is a very basic need for all of us. I do not think it is healthy living together without it.

It might be, but to be honest with you, one of the partners may be getting his fun elsewhere, unless both of them have equally lost the interest in sex.
