"Your inability to have normal marital relations with your spouse as a result of your motorcycle injury is called 'loss of consortium'.
...
A loss of consortium claim is one that results from your (the injured party’s) inability to have sexual intercourse with your spouse either on a temporary basis or permanently, because of your physical injury or due to mental distress caused by your physical injury. Beyond just sexual intercourse, however, loss of consortium could simply mean that the amount and quality of companionship the two of you enjoyed prior to the accident, which was "interrupted" by your injury. For example, you can no longer help care for the kids or the house the way you did before the accident. It may also include the loss of care, affection and companionship between the members of a married couple, either with or without a decrease in sexual intimacy."
