Man in OH won $4,800 on a alienation of affection complaint when his ex-wife was caught eating pizza with her paramour. Alienation of Affection usually has little to do with sex but with any public affection - like kissing, holding hands. Apparently, that was the first time in 40+ years that a case was won using alienation of affection as a defense.

I'm not sure what the legal term is, but you'd be smart to obtain a lawyer over this matter.
The idea of what constitutes sexual deprivation during marraige differs between judges & court rooms. Some may say that only having sex once a week is sexual deprivation, while others may be happy with that & say that once a month is sexual deprivation. Some courts will not take you seriously unless it is along the lines of once a year or no sex in multiple years. You will also have to show proof that you tried to make the marraige work, both emotionally & sexually. They will ask if you have tried counselling & the like. A lot of times if a man tries to divorce a woman claiming this reason it will make him appear like a jerk, even if his claims are more than valid.
It's better if you just say that the marraige didn't work out due to incompatibility. It'll save a lot of trouble in the long run.

They are usually not that explicit. They just refer to the basis for divorce as incompatibility.

Sex is not important unless you aren't getting it.
