If there are other issues preventing intimacy, address those issues and work your way back to intimacy; those other issues can be a deterrent. Don't use lack of intimacy as a tool to "get back" at him/her for an indiscretion as that just creates more issues that need to be overcome.
If you/your partner experience discomfort during intimacy, you both need to talk of ways to avoid the discomfort; for example, a woman has had a hysterectomy, she now has to discover ways to enjoy the act because a major portion of her sexual organs are now gone; there is what seems to be a blockage and it could be uncomfortable for her - she can work slowly with her partner to overcome the discomfort, thus not have the worry of experiencing the same during the next act.
It could be a number of factors, not only interpersonal, but also medical. Look into every factor, but never, never (as above) hold off intimacy for revenge sake.

Surely it would depend on the couple. If both are happy just being with each other without it then it might work for them.
If one or the other isn't happy with the situation, then chances are it wouldn't last, not long term. Either the unhappy partner would cheat, or leave.
If there is a medical reason, the other partner might be willing to give it time, but not forever.

Sexual intimacy is a vital part in a healthy relationship. Unless completely necessary, to go without it would be unhealthy for the relationship. Read the source it is interesting.

Depends on the couple and what their individual needs are. The longest I have managed so far is two weeks and that was after the birth of each child. Probably not the best person to ask really...why do you ask?

It varies, but some recent work I came across suggested that quite a large number of marriages become sexless, or virtually sexless a few years after all the children are born. Many of these couples are apparently quite happy with this arrangement and prefer friendship and companionship to sex. The problem arises of course when only one member of a couple is happy with this and then the other inevitably strays.

I agree
it can be forever
the couple has to sit down, discuss the reasons and if they are both mature loving adults- a loving relationship can survive and flourish

4 months. The time from deploying to average R&R date in Iraq and Afghanistan.

i guess as long as they want, but if they were really in love they would want sexual intimacy

Depends on the circumstances, but it would be as long as forever.
