My partner made up a word - Dysfunctionlust: the pleasure you get from doing something that you feel no pressure to be good at.
She's quite a good writer but super hard on herself about it, whereas drawing is a dysfunctionlust for her and so quite relaxing.
It's based on the German word funktionslust: the joy of an organism doing what it's meant to do, like a dog running.

Can't not see the "Dysfunctionslut" in there, though. 🤷🏽♂️😅

That's also great! Dysfunctionslut is much cooler than just saying "I have really bad ADD"

I was envisioning those select few who, born with genes that make them sexually attractive to most others, seem to apply just as much effort and skill to the act itself — often to the ironic disappointment of fellow participant(s).

I'm German and I never heard of Funktionslust, neither has my Autokorrektur. Still, that makes sense.
