I’m asking as a non-religious person; I just find it romantic. I met a guy I really like recently and we’ve been hanging out a lot. I told him about my boundary, and he’s cool with it.

I agree with this.
Outside of the reasoning OP gave, some people just aren’t that into sex, some people like it but it isn’t the main way they connect with their partner, etc. So long as both people are on board with this approach and it’s not one person “putting up with it” then I struggle to find downsides.
I’ve been with my partner for 15 years (married for 10 if the marriage thing feels critical to people) and so long as attraction is there I think it’s absolutely possible to learn to care for each other’s needs, just the way you do for any other thing in life.
