pleasurelessness
State without enjoyment
Pleasurelessness is the state of being without pleasure—an absence of enjoyment or satisfaction.
The word describes conditions or experiences drained of delight: the pleasurelessness of routine, a life marked by pleasurelessness.
It suggests not active suffering but rather a flat, joyless quality.
