When couples have mismatched desire and standard advice isn't working

My wife and I have completely different sex drives and we've tried scheduling and talking and compromising but we're both starting to feel resentful — she feels pressured and unwanted when she says no, I feel rejected and like I'm asking for too much — and our 'solutions' aren't actually solving anything.
