Erotophobia refers to the fear or aversion to sexual feelings, activities or identity. This anxiety can cause people to experience difficulties in forming intimate relationships. However, there are several synonyms for erotophobia, which include genophobia, coitophobia, and ligyrophobia. Genophobia is the fear of sexual activity and can also extend to the fear of genitalia and sexual attraction. Coitophobia is the fear of sexual intercourse specifically, while ligyrophobia is the fear of loud or violent/vocal sexual behavior. All of these phobias can take a toll on someone's mental and physical health, but seeking professional help can help alleviate these fears and normalize sexual behavior.
