Legal Question in Family Law in California

Does Palimony or Cohabitation inclue s#x?
My sister is lives with a male
''roommate.'' They are viewed as a
couple, but she tells me they have
never had s#xual relations because
he has a problem. I believe her.
They sleep in the same bed, but don't
do the deed. They are companions
like this for 8 years, but she doesn't
want to marry him--he has no
money and barely has a job. Their
money is separate. She owns the
house. If she dumps him (believe
me, I pray for this), does he have
any legal recourse against her in
terms of palimony or cohabitation
rights, if they've never had s#x?
Can he sue her for anything? I want
to make sure she has info that can
protect her. I've been begging her to
get a trust too, but she
procrastinates. If she dies, I'm her
only living relative, so does he have a
right to stay in her house? He does
not pay rent, but contributes toward
the utilities and food bills. Thank you.
