In psychology, a sexual desire disorder is a psychiatric issue defined by the absence of sexual desire. This type of disorder can be either natural - natural day-to-day circumstances - or due to a specific trauma.

Sexual desire disorders could be acquired, situational, lifelong, and/or generalized depending on the reasons behind the disorder. In this scenario, Yoline does not want to engage in a sexual activity due to a trauma, which in this case, is a disturbing experience. This means that her disorder was acquired, due to this experience, and is generalized, meaning that her lack of sexual desire occurs with any potential parterns, including her husband.

This issue could be treated by different methods, especially psychotherapy accompanied by medication.
