Research proves that 60 per cent of women fake an orgasm during intercourse. This can be due to a number of reasons. One of the reasons could be being of scared of having sex. If you are, you are not the only one.
Anyone can fear sex. This does not only affect women, this affects many men too (as against the popular misconception). But what are the different kinds of sex-related phobias that people have? Check it out:
Erotophobia – fear of everything related to sex
Coitophobia – fear of sexual intercourse
Anuptaphobia – fear of staying single
Heterophobia or sexophobia - fear of the opposite sex. This, coupled with Anuptaphobia could actually have disastrous effects.
Gymnophobia – fear of nudity
Menophobia – fear of menstruation (nothing irrational about this fear once you think of it).
Parthenophobia – fear of virgins and young girls (men can fear sex too!)
Oneirogmophobia – fear of wet dreams
Eurotophobia or kolopophobia – fear of female sex organs
Haptophobia – fear of being touched
Ithyphallophobia – fear of erections
Medomalacuphobia – fear of going limp and losing erections
Tocophobia – fear of pregnancy and childbirth
Scopophobia – fear of being looked at
Spot your phobia and get a cure for it. You are responsible for your sex life. If you don’t want to help yourself, don’t expect your partner to be able to do it for you.
