anhedoniac
is one who suffers from anhedonia, the inability to derive pleasure from normal pleasurable things in life.
If someone is depressed, or has one of many different chemical imbalances in the brain.
-Comedians, for example, may be prone to having this, as what actually makes them laugh has been used so much, that that part of the brain has "worn off funny".
Funny incidents and stories are enjoyed less and less, as time goes on.
(Try telling a comedian a joke, any joke.)
A chronic masturbator has a dopamine imbalance, rendering him or her an anhedoniac, incapable of enjoying normal life in a non orgasmic state.
A person with multiple lovers/sexual partners in life cannot settle down to marry. The more they sample, the less they are able to settle, as a direct result of wanting something "strange" or "new" all the time.
Beautiful, rich people in Hollywood have, or can have anything, or everything, or almost any ONE they could ever want, anytime and all the time. Anhedonia from repeatedly fulfilling their desires is a forgone conclusion in some cases.
(In old school parlance, "too much of a good thing".)
(This may effect more people than we know as the pursuit of pleasure on this planet for it's own sake is rampant.)
e.g. "I can't WAIT for the weekend!"

anhedonia
There are so many things one can feel in this life – anger, joy, jealousy, love, shame, happiness, embarrassment, amusement, sadness, euphoria, frustration. The roller coaster of emotion whips over high peaks, spins, and dips, over and over again – it’s thrilling, and it’s scary, and it’s one hell of a ride.
Except now, I want you to imagine that one day you get on the roller coaster, and as it climbs, falls, twists, and turns, you realize that you feel nothing. You are sitting in a tiny cart being whipped around like a wet noodle, wondering why everyone else is laughing and throwing their hands in the air.
The technical word for feeling nothing is anhedonia. Anhedonia is one of the main symptoms of major depressive disorder, but someone might also experience this sort of reaction in response to things like anxiety or trauma. In grief, it is common to experience emotional numbness, especially in the days to weeks following the death.
