It's saying very little to talk about romantic "relationships" not requiring sex. If it's just a state of mind and what you say to each other then it is possible to have a romantic relationship with someone that you have never spent time alone with, or even with someone that you have never met in person.

There seems to be agreement here that you can have romance before you enter into a sexual relationship but it seems to be the anticipation that it might be leading to that that makes it romantic. Apparently once there has been sex in a relationship something changes and if the sex ceases the relationship is in trouble and can revert to being no more than a friendship or a formal union. Even if you want to say that it's better not to rush into a sexual relationship that does imply that having sex does alter the nature of a relationship in a significant way.

What happens is that a pattern develops and this does seem to define the relationship at least to a certain extent. If two friends meet for lunch every Thursday at a particular place then that pattern defines their relationship and there is the mutual expectation that the other person will show up at the regular time and place. How these two friends feel about each other may be important but just liking somebody does not make them your friend and actions speak louder than words.

Hi.

Yes agree

asking if sex is necessary for romance is like asking if meat is necessary for health

there is no universal answer because everyone has their own priorities and needs and not everyone goes about fulfilling them in the same way

many people are quite capable of having romance without sex just as many are capable of having a high protein diet without meat

people have options, and they have been known to have a capacity to use their brains to figure them out and find out what works best for them,,,

hi

Do sex just with passion and desire = wasting time
Love without sex = boring
sex, make you grow romance, and grow feeling to your couple.
There a time I can't forget my ex, just because she always do sex with me every single day.
I feel miss her so much, I feel there's something gone at my live.
This is the reason why universe call it making love

I'm to tied a cant answer tonight but I like lots

a sexless relationship is fine at the start while you both get comfortable with each other but won't last if one isn't happy without sex and sex is a basic instinct.

Okay. I'm sorry. I don't mean to b rude. But r u mother f... stupid. Of course it is. U have have to b into sexually the person you're with. There were tmz I didn't even like my husband but he so satisfied me sexually. U hv to hv this connection. Undoubtedly!

yes it is, part of the bonding process.

msharmony is correct. What may be impossible for one person may be possible for another person. There is a difference between a person claiming, "I can't do X," and a person claiming, "X can't be done." The latter claim may be false while the former claim is true.

No

Is a relationship REALLY necessary without sex ?

Well,for me,i would say sex isn't love is just a momentary pleasure which after taken the man might decide to deviate from relationship just because he has seen the naked of the girl vice versa.It will suit both if they really love themselves to knot as life-partners.

If you make up the rules or follow someone else's anything's possible. You can call it a relationship when all it really is is a friendship and you can say that it's just a friendship when you are doing everything that people that are in relationships do, including sex.

Why insist on calling just dating a relationship though? If you want to compare that with marriage and say that sex is expected in that sort of relationship but not in a dating relationship then that implies that your "dating relationship" really isn't a commited relationship in the same sense that a relationship where you have given yourself "body and soul" is.
