always having a spouse push you away whenever you want to make-out?


Any of those qualifies. A starving man might still get food, it's just that he doesn't get enough. That makes it starved. Otherwise, it would simply be called a celibate marriage. A priest is not living up to his vow of celibacy if he has sex "only" once a month or "only" once a year. He might be sex-starved in those cases, but he would not be celibate.
