As a penis-bearer, “disappointment” is a far less appealing term than “dysfunction.” There’s no shame in the latter because it becomes less personal, out of my hands, not caused by me as a person. The former turns the partner into a parent, teacher or boss saying, “I’m SO disappointed in you. You’re just not putting in the effort.”

Yes of course to the conversation, because obviously there is disappointment happening all around.
