I think a really big factor would be the attitude towards sex that was held by both of the partners. If Martel and I found ourselves unable, for whatver reason, to not have sex, it would be an issue only if we didn't talk about it. If it was because of an injury or whatever, we'd still find ways to enjoy our sexuality together and maintain that intimancy that comes from having sexual relations. We've already dealt with psychological stuff, and that is harder to deal with, doubly so when one partner doesn't want to talk about the things that are bothering them.
Intimacy is a huge part of any relationship. Are you closer friends with someone you can really talk to and relate to, or someone that barely looks up when you walk into a room? Sex is a very obvious and immediate way to foster intimacy, but by no means the only way. A sexless relationship would be difficult, for sure, but it wouldn't be a dealbreaker, at least in my opnion.
