- Sexual frustration
Sexual frustration describes the condition in which a person is in a state of agitation, stress or anxiety due to prolonged sexual inactivity and/or sexual dissatisfaction that leads them to want more sex or better sex, or a state in which he/she is sexually aroused (accusatory sense), although more often it implies simply an uncomfortably low level of sexual activity (see
sexual dysfunction /involuntary celibacy ), or some arousing stimulation without climax that is causing frustration (in the sympathetic sense).
