I am sorry to hear that she is not interested in being affectionate with you. I have to ask though... was she when you were dating, and was she during the early part of the marriage... if so, when did she stop....

You can always ask God to take them away. He will tone down the temptation if he is really interested in serving God in this matter.

This is unbiblical and unrealistic advice, it is also counter to human physiology. Your going to have to do better than that. The bible states that if you burn with passion you are to marry.

It is realistic, and God will answer it as such. ... there is a high cause here... and if he needs to be an acting enunch for God's glory, .. then so be it.. but God will richly bless him for his dedication to his committment he made before God. Even turn his wife back to the affectionate woman he married.

I disagree, there are couples where this problem persists until one of them dies, that is a very sad state of existance and not at all what God expects. Either you are a enunch or your not. This advice still goes no where and the bible says in 1 cor 7 you will stumble as this is not how God has designed 99% of males.
Never said it was a design.. Paul was not an enunch but because of his convictions lived like one. If the Lord had laid a wife before him, he would be dedicated to her. Even if it meant that she being not affection, he was back to living like an enunch. It is the convictions we are talking about not the human fleshly desires. That is what a overcomer is.

If that is not how we are designed then its not how we are designed, just becasue Paul did that does not mean thats what the rest of us are to do, the bible even states that if you burn with passion you are to marry. I still disagree with your premiss, I do not think a wife has the privilage to have a husband if she can not perform basic marital duties and she has defrauded him.

An argument from biology? This should be good. Just what evidence do you have to support this?
Either you are a enunch or your not.
You're not a eunuch or you are . . . hmm. Don't I know you?
the bible says in 1 cor 7 you will stumble as this is not how God has designed 99% of males.
Show me the Scripture where it says you will stumble if you don't have a regular sexual outlet. This design thing, will you support it or will it have to be like this passage you are alleging is in 1 Cor 7.

Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy .” Olmstead v. U.S., 277 U.S. 438
The only things I know to suggest are prayer and Christian counseling for help on how to deal with the emotions of not having one's needs met in a marriage..I'm not a professional in this area...I just know that, just because someone doesn't know what the right thing to do is, it doesn't make the wrong thing justified or acceptable in God's eyes.
