Anything is possible, if no scientific laws are broken. Many even reckon that the Mary, mother of Jesus of Nazareth and possibly of others, wife of Joseph, is still virgin! None of my relationships broke up due to the lack of intimacy.
Normally there is always something you like about a person that make you want to be with the person. If you are in it just because the sex feels good to me that's not really intimacy.

My companion has for years thinks it can happen without intimacy. I try to touch her, she refuses to reciprocate except for maybe a kiss. Then her comment is I don't have time right now. We're not abusive to each other.
If you weren't interested in having sex with your significant other, but he was ideal in every other way, would you consider having a casual relationship with another guy that provided you with the intimacy that was lacking in your main relationship? I mean, assuming your primary partner was fine with it?
If he is okay with it, maybe it can be considered, but speaking for myself, I cannot say that I would be comfortable with such a thing. If I don't feel that kind of attraction to the person I'm with, what's the point of continuing?
It's more a case of your feelings for him being affectionate and loving, and that you enjoy cuddling with him and sleeping next to him every night. A girlfriend of mine once told me that a woman can rarely get everything she needs from one guy, which is why women are so reluctant to make a long term commitment to a guy, because they know that st some point, they'll have to go elsewhere to meet their other needs.
I've never been in a long-term committted relationship, maybe I can't empathize fully, but I assume that sexual attraction is inevitable with someone you really connect with emotionally
But that's the beauty of an arrangement like this -- you share a deep emotional bond with two men, in completely different ways, but each is amazingly beautiful in its own, unique style, and conversely, each is strengthened by the other.

Yes provided other means of affection are present and provided both partners want that.

I voted no, but I also want to point out that intimacy is not sex, and is something much deeper.
In most cases: NO.
We are sexual beings and a low to zero sexual activity in a relationship it's an indicator of deep communication problems.
Even elders have sex. The myth that they don't it's just a myth. What change is the frequency and the way it is done.
Ask anybody who’s been married long enough😆
Sex and intimacy are different. A relationship without intimacy is not a relationship.

It fully depends on what you want in a relationship. Some people only want companions, not lovers, so that decision must be mutual.
At the moment, I'm going to say yes. Post again in a year or two.
I could deal with that but I don't think there is a lot of people who thinks the same way

That's like asking if you can drive a car without tyres
Intimacy doesn't mean sex... so no.
Imatincy is what brings on thriving into a relationship
No. Without sex you’re nothing more than roommates. It’s what sets y’all apart
I think they can
I don't think so.
Only if it isn't permanent.
No. No intimacy means they're just friends.
That's what I like to call a friendship.
