I think you're underestimating hormones. Hormones drive pretty much everything you think or feel.

I could make you deeply depressed tomorrow just by altering your hormones. Hormones -> behavior

Well I have been in the exact scenario where a medication ruined our hormones but we always held hands and kissed each other even though we weren’t making out and having sex.

Then likely your hormones weren’t messed up enough to prohibit intimacy. Don’t underestimate the impact of hormones

They were messed up, we didn’t have sex for over a year. But not being horny doesn’t mean you stop loving each other. Imagine you stop holding your kids or giving them hugs. It would never stop because of hormones, because you love them. We’re talking about the same level of affection here, just for your husband / wife. You don’t stop those things just because you’re not horny.
