anhedonia (noun): an inability to experience pleasure.
Pleasure is not limited to joy but joy is a pleasure. I can't imagine unpleasurable joy.

Always in all circumstances for everyone? I disagree. One can continue to behave hedonistically without reaping the joy it once gave due to adapted thresholds in the brain.

In the same vein, is self-forced pleasure joyous?
