So, my marital partner isn't that interested in sex. We perform the act about twice a month; however, even when we do it's very tame and heaven forbid I make some special request, e.g. wear a special sexy outfit, or put on some heels. I've made countless attempts to engage, to talk about it, to try new things, and I'm at a point where I'm feeling very, very frustrated.

My question to all of you out there on the Lit Boards is: when is it permissible to simply throw in the towel, give up on having a sex life (cheating isn't an option), and rely on solely on erotic stories, and sexy images and videos from the Internet as my primary/main source of sexual release?
 
I think it's important to find out why your partner isn't interested (doesn't feel good about herself, tired from job stress or responsibilities, kids, hormone issue, etc.)
I would try talking about it, counseling, romance, lots of foreplay, asking about fantasies, (or lots of liquor ;) ) before throwing in the towel, especially if this is someone you love.

There is a happily married but sexually unfufilled. You may want to check that out. I hope you find some answers or solutions somewhere. It's a hard situtaion.

Only you know the answer to that. I think it's different for everyone. I also think twice a month would have been too much for my soon to be ex husband. He would agree reluctantly to have sex about every 6 to 8 weeks, and hated my lingerie & (rather mild) kinks.
 
I agree.. only you can answer this question for yourself. It must be something you can live with comfortably and not feel that you have to defend to anyone.
 
Life is simply too short to give up on sex. I know you said cheating isn't an option, but to me, neither is going without.
