"In a long-term marriage, consistently denying sex is a form of emotional abuse."
Not unless you assume that the wife owes him sex, which she does not. At no time EVER do women OWE men sex. Or vice versa. Sex is about desire and love. And if she's not feeling loving or desirous then it is crap to expect it out of her. I don't know where in the world anybody, man or woman, would get off assuming that the world owes them some nookie, but it most certainly does not.
