sexual frustration

Unmet carnal longing

Sexual frustration is the state of unfulfilled sexual desire—wanting sexual activity or release but being unable to get it.

The frustration may stem from lack of a partner, rejection, mismatched libidos in a relationship, or inability to act on attraction: After months of deployment, the sexual frustration was getting to him.

The term sometimes explains irritability or tension attributed to this unmet need.
