Satiety

SATI'ETY, noun [Latin satietas. See [[Sate]].]

Properly, fullness of gratification, either of the appetite or any sensual desire; but it usually implies fullness beyond desire; an excess of gratification which excites wearisomeness or lothing; state of being glutted.

In all pleasures there is satiety
