I think it is within your marital rights to have sex regularly with your partner, whether they "want" it or not, barring illness or a legitimate medical problem.
Now two reasonable people who love each other can work this out. My gf wants sex more than I do, and maybe 1/5 times I oblige her when I'm not in the mood. It's not like it feels bad, come on. But when you are married, I'd go so far as to say you have the right to TAKE it if she isn't giving it to you. Of course the law doesn't really see it this way, it's still considered "rape", but when you marry someone you are effectively giving them full access right to your body for sexual pleasure, within reason.
"Taking it" isnt within reason though. It wont be "rape", it will be straight up rape and end up having a dude fvk his life up. Its better to just find a more suitable partner, which a lot of people are too weak to try and do.
The solution to a spouse who wont be intimate is to divorce them. I wont say anyone has the right to anyone else's body, but I will say that within a marriage there is an understanding that partners will meet one another's needs on various levels (be that mentally, physically, or emotionally).
If your needs arent being met, bail. You cant force someone to willfully meet your needs. They have to want to do it.

I am curious. How do you manage to bring this up in regular conversation? I'd really like to know... I've done this as well, but usually in a conversation revolving, "What are you looking for in a potential relationship?". That's usually my trigger.
When testing a new woman and figuring her out, Id simply bring up this story. For example...if we were talking about the news or anything related to social media, I could say;
"Oh man, I was reading this story online that went viral. Apparently this dudes sex life was so bad with his wife, that he had to email her a spreadsheet detailing how often she turns him down lol"
And the convo would flow after that. Id see what she think about the story, and then I could say "Ive read and heard too many stories of people in depressing marriages lacking intimacy. I could never do it. Id just leave and find someone more compatible. I wanna feel connected to my girl".
Id figure out how she feels without judging her, if she happens to not be my type. If she isnt my type based on her answer, I simply never consider her girlfriend material. Anyways, yeah...I would either bring up the viral story, or take Danger's approach and relate it to some sap.
