Its not selfish to expect her to care enough about YOUR needs to take care of them at least once in a while. At worst if its not hurting her, its a chore, and while no one likes doing chores you do them because its worse if you don't do them. Be it laundry, or doing dishes or in this case doing your husband.
While its her right to say no, I think after a point it would be his right to seek sexual gratification else where. Personally I think thats when its time for a divorce.
A marriage isnt' only about sex, in fact sex may be a lower priority then a lot of things, but once its never about sex, its now at best a friendship (and normally due to the strain the sex issue has, not a good one).
I suppose what I have to wonder about is why so many sexless marriages have the member not getting it afraid to pull the plug. I can't say I know the details of a lot of them, but those I do know are either in a state of total disarray or had no one happy in it until they were divorced.

I know more sexless marriages than vice versa(my own included) and while the reasons may vary as to why they are sexless in the first place, the reasons they're still together are not that varied; kids, bills, established within community, families, and not wanting to lose what took so long to gain, etc.
My best friend's wife announced on her 50th birthday there would be no more sex. Period.
My husband announced two years ago that he would never ever again ask me for it. At first, I hung on about two months, then attacked. It was the worst I'd ever had. I thought I had a 'low libido'-I didn't need it and too many times it
did seem like a chore-he didn't do 'quickies' and always had to get me to orgasm, even when I insisted it wasn't necessary. It wasn't my libido that was the problem, I've come to find out.
Saying "no' is everyone's right; reasons for saying "no" might not be as cut and dry as "just not feeling like it". When that starts to happen more often then not, having a low libido isn't the issue-having less love probably is.
