I think it probably depends on the sex drive of the guy in question. If he subconsciously views sex as a necessary part of his life, I imagine sacrificing that would probably lead to a degree of unhappiness down the road.
That said, I think there’s probably men for whom sex isn’t that important, particularly as they grow older. Sexless marriages seem relatively common, and they can’t all be miserable/full of resentment.
I’m presuming that you’re ruling out ‘open relationships’ where the guy could satisfy that side of himself elsewhere. I guess that’d be totally different.
depends on the relationship,
people usually find a way around things if the relationship is real/good enough
also some that might think they are asexual can find they are just demisexual i believe is the term (which is getting confusing since people keep making a million new terms), where you don’t feel the need or desire for sex or intimacy, or attraction in general as if asexual, yet do feel/desire or need/like it, when having deep emotional connection with someone specific
different people, different results, only way to truly know how it goes is to find out for yourself, what happened or worked for some might not go the same way for you, even if you do all the exact step they did, just because one asexual+sexual couple did or didn’t make it, doesn’t mean it’s the same for you
maybe you even happen to run into another asexual, few things are impossible,
don’t necessarily let the whole deal occupy your mind too much, take it as it comes.
I am in love with an idea of someone I met. She is an idea of the perfect woman, the daughter of God/ Goodness. I don’t feel any eroticism from that idea. I really love the idea of her, not her vagina, the idea of her mind.

Life without sex …
… means a very well developed right shoulder and forearm
… sucks
