< b>Frigidity: Failure of a female to respond to sexual stimulus; aversion
on the part of a woman to sexual intercourse; failure of a female to achieve an
orgasm (anorgasmia) during sexual intercourse.
This disorder can stem from psychological or emotional problems such as stress,
anxiety, depression, fatigue, worry, guilt, fear of painful intercourse and fear
of pregnancy. It can also develop from the undesirability of a partner, the undesirability
of the setting, and the use of alcohol or drugs.
"Frigid-" is derived from the Latin word "frigidus" (cold.) The suffix "-ity"
is derived from the Latin "-itas" (condition, state).
