frigid
Like the Arctic
Frigid means extremely cold: frigid Arctic temperatures, a frigid winter morning.
The word extends to emotional coldness—someone frigid is unfriendly, distant, or unresponsive: a frigid reception.
Applied to women, frigid describes an inability or unwillingness to experience sexual arousal, a usage that has fallen out of favor as sexist and clinical.
