It depends on what kind of relationship you are talking about.
-
Of course it can. In fact a non-intimate relationship is good for building trust and friendship - two of the most important things in any relationship and a good building block for an intimate relationship as well.
-
depends... i personally think da younga u are intimacy is more needed.. however wen u reached a certain age... Intimate is not needed aslong ur in each others company...
-
If you mean intimacy/sex...yes. I think many relationships can be initmate on an emotional level without being romantic. All relationships last in varying degrees. If the two parties involved are happy in the extent to which they exist, then they can last forever.

There are many kinds of intimacy. I think friends can share an intimacy but it has nothing to do with sex. Yes, a relationship, a loving, romantic type relationship can last and be very good and solid without sex, if both parties want it that way. TO some couples, it's not r3elaly important. But I don't think it's likely that a relationship can survive long without intimacy, that sharing of the heart and the personal caring for each other, the thought exchanges, the secrets, the dreams, the glances. That is what cements relationships not sex.

Intimacy comes in different forms. I believe a relationship can exist without sexual intimacy but not without close communication type of intimacy.
-
don't think so.. b/c then you become friends instead of lovers... its happened to me.
-
Maybe - but not with me :)
-
I wouldn't stay. Maybe for a while I would, in hopes that it would improve, but it would eventually drive me towards someone else and that would just be unfair to both of us.

To me intimacy is the close connection you feel. It's not just sex. It's developed through sharing things with your partner that you don't share with the everyday joe or even friends. I was in a relationship with no intimacy. It was all superficial bullshit. We didn't last long at all. I need to feel a close connection with my partner.
-
I believe a relationship can last only if both partners are satisfied. So, if there is not desire for intimacy and both partners are happy then yes, it can last. However, if one or both feel intimacy is lacking and are not satisfied with this then no, there must be some change for the relationship to continue.

Not in any meaningfull or fulfilling way, no. Of course everyone is different and good luck to you, but otherwise you're just robots doin the same routine endlessly
