Yes, some states even codify this. I'd be interested if that was ever put up as grounds in a complaint, 'cause I've never seen it... typically, it's the result of sex-refusal: adultery.
Anyway, I hear a lot of, "just get a divorce instead." BUT divorce is a massively disrputive, expensive, kid-hurting and destructive business. What if the marriage is OK, but the sex is just not even there in any decent form? Isn't the better solution a little satisfaction on the side?
It's definitely morally fraught... but I wonder if the French/Europeans don't have the better approach.
I have a cousin that divorced her husband on the grounds of "impotency".
In New York, you don't even need a valid reason -- it's called no fault divorce.
From what I have read in New York you are at the mercy of the Judge. You are not entitled to a divorce and with out convincing the Judge won't get one.
