Nope, no excuse for cheating. Its not as though she's witholding oxygen from you just sex. You won't die without sex. Also the original post wasn't very specific. It said "lack of sex" but what does that mean? No sex at all or just not as much as the poster would like. To me its one of those things that you have to be very honest with yourself about. Is sex important enough to me to leave this marriage? If I were in that situation I'd have a long talk with the wife and get to the bottom of it. If its medical, hey, lets get some hormone shots! If its mental perhaps therapy is sin order. If she just has no interest at all and is unwilling to change then maybe a compromise is in order. Maybe a deal can be struck where you stay in the marriage and enjoy the comfort that brings but the amorous partner is allowed to to have extramarital affairs as long as he doesn't bring them home. If you get caught cheating odds are the marriage will be over anyway and it will end ugly. Might as well go ahead and split up as nicely as possible then try to find a partner that will satisfy those sexual urges. At least then you will have been honest with your wife and yourself.
