Im going to try and back up and reorganize my thoughts on the situation. I told @0AbsoluteZero0 this and I think it may help me.
I'm a romantic at heart. I believe you should fight to keep a relationship afloat if you truly love that person and want to be with them. Maybe I came off as coarse but if you are concerned that a lack of sex is damaging the relationship, as long as one or the other isnt demanding it so it becomes an uncomfortable situation, then I see no reason to not go ahead and do what you believe will bring the two of you closer together.
