I am not a pro at counseling or a relationship expert but using whatever little knowledge I have gained on the subject, I will try to answer.
First, let us understand why we get married. While ancient reasons were completely different (no division of property, to diffuse 'survival of the fittest', to establish civilization and the likes), in today's times marriage has acquired a new meaning.
Today marriage is about constant companionship, atleast that is what I like to think of it.
Now, I agree you have a best friend and she fulfills all your emotional and social needs. This is the most cherished relationship you have and you must preserve it. In your previous statement you said you don't want to marry your bestie. Fine.
Now, is marriage needed for you? NO. Marriage is a need, definitely but not for everyone. I have seen so many people who do very well without marriage. Our own ex president was unmaried. Salman has never married. PM Modi is married but separated and many more examples are around us. I also see lot of women IAS officers who choose to serve the nation without getting married.
So, if you do not want to get married or do not have any such wish, stay away from it. DO NOT get married because if you do so under any kind of pressure, you would only be ruining other person's life.
But if you are not marrying because you have a best friend, then you must consider your decision again.
Now, s*x is just one aspect of marriage. It is not just instant gratification, it is also the deepest intimacy one individual can experience with another.
Marriage is also about living with someone under the same roof. Waking up next to someone you love. Having your own progeny and seeing them blossom and carry your genes.
Marriage is not just about companionship and intimacy. It is primarily about these two but it goes too deep into these.
What would you do when she gets married to someone else? She won't pick your 2am calls then. Would you feel jealous when she gets married and talks only about her husband and her kids?
Moreover, so many times we feel the need of being physically present with the person. Don't we say, 'I wish you were here'?
But then, to each his own. Some people are very good at being alone even though we say human is a social animal.
If you feel you can do well without marriage, do not marry. But do not stay single forever simply because you have a girl friend.
If both of you want to stay committed to each other without being married, it is better to move into a live-in relationship.
Hope this helps.
