What is Sexual Anorexia?
Sexual anorexia, also known as sexual anorexia nervosa or sexual anorexia disorder, is a term that has been used to describe a pattern of behavior in which individuals have an extreme fear or aversion to sexual activity, intimacy, or sexual relationships. It is not an officially recognized diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) or other widely accepted diagnostic manuals. However, some therapists and clinicians have used the term to describe a range of symptoms and behaviors related to an individual's avoidance or suppression of their sexual desires and needs.
