Mutually agreeing to not have sex is not a sin.

The Bible, which is the very word of God, makes it clear that the marriage was consumated.

Matthew 1:24  Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25  And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS

There is no reason at all to believe that Mary or Joseph sinned by with holding sex from one another or that they never had sex.

The very word of God makes no such claim. It is purely a Full Court assumption that it does. Don't confuse Scripture, the very word of God, with what you think; it's not the same thing.

You posted it once again without ever responding to 1633. Why are you afraid to discuss this post?

Right, because it is not a sin if abstaining is mutually agreed upon.
