Sexual anhedonia

Sexual anhedonia is when someone does not feel pleasure or enjoyment when they have sex or experience sexual stimulation. It's like when you eat your favorite candy but you don't taste any sweetness, or when you go on a fun ride but you don't feel excited or happy.

While some people can feel a lot of pleasure and happiness from sex, some people may not feel anything at all. This can happen for lots of reasons, like certain medications or medical conditions.

It's important to remember that it's not anyone's fault if they experience sexual anhedonia. It's just a way their body works, and there are ways to deal with it and still have healthy and happy relationships.
