frigidity:

Lack of sexual response; failure to become sexually aroused or passionate . Traditionally, it has been applied chiefly to women; sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson coined female-orgasmic-dysfunction (a woman who does not reach orgasm or go beyond the plateau phase of the sexual response cycle) to replace the loose term frigidity pleague with negative connotations about emotional responsivity.
