sex is an important part of marriage. if a woman goes into marriage anticipating this, there is massive disappointment when the truth comes out. treatment is out of the question. after 4 years of marriage, he finally admits he doesn't care if he ever has sex again as long as he lives and got married for "companionship."

Sexual issues and indifference to solving them would be enough reason for me to consider it seriously.

From what I've heard, refusal to have sex can be grounds for divorce, however, I'm not an attorney. However, if no sex was grounds for divorce there would be a lot of divorced people in this world...lol. So I take it you never had sex prior to marriage??? (that's a good and a bad thing) If he never disclosed that sex wouldn't be part of the equation it's a form of betrayal on his part.
if he never cares about having sex again then how does he feel about you having sex with other men??? I mean all he wants is companionship right? Then tell him he can have his companionship but you need as a healthy and sexual woman to have sex and if he's not willing to sleep with you then you need to find someone who is. You'll be discreet however, just because he chooses to be celibate doesn't mean you have to be. Mimi Rogers divorced Tom Cruise because he chose to be celibate and not have sex, so yes, it can be grounds for divorce.
See if he's accepting of a "change" in your relationship. If he isn't then time to get out.
Good luck.

Yes you could file "irreconcilable differences" as a basis for divorce-HOWEVER-------------------------------------------
Have you thought about alternatives? I mean if there is still a willingness for intimacy, then he can satisfy you on many different levels with different things, i.e. oral, toys, manual etc., heck if he is game you could even go so far as to have a "three some" where he watches. All I am saying is that if you love him, there could be a resolution to this without the divorce aspect. Heck you could do yourself for that matter-- However the intimacy and sex, I agree, if it is a need for you, and if none of the ideas or things are acceptable for him, then I certainly would try counseling and then hit the attorney's office if that didn't work.

Sex is not an important part of any relationship. Whether its dating or married...It just helps to strengthen the relationship...If you don't have great communication then you don't have anything...Sex is not going to make or break the person..If you love your husband and you later found out he was unable to perform sexual, then that's not a reason to get a divorce...Now if he was on the DL or cheating, then thats something different..You took your vowels for better or worse through thick and thin. Try honoring them...Just stand by your man and get yourself a dildo or get a strap on for him, but don just leave him...

False pretenses. irreconcilable differences. It's been done and will continue to be done being tricked into marriage is just low. If both parties can live with it then it's cool, but lying is hiding who you truly are. He needs to find someone more compatible and stop wasting other peoples time and she needs someone who loves her enough to tell her the truth. that's a best friend not a husband.

Your man seems to be a very selfish person to me because he only thinks about himself at the expense of your feelings. that really hurt. I dont think the fact that he is impotent gives grounds for divorce but the best person to answer this question will be a lawyer so i will advice that you see your lawyer. All the best.

yes it is...
although sex is an important part of marriage, still love for each other is the most important part of it, when you grew old together, you would no longer engage in sex but in companionship and in taking care of each other or being there with him, talking, sharing stories, remembering the past...

Sure, its grounds. But so is irreconcilable differences in most states. Why drag him down? The guy has a problem.

If that is the case, you have consummated your marriage, get an annulment.

I would think so. You could use fraud as the reason.
