Sexophobia
Sexophobia is when someone is afraid of or has a strong dislike or prejudice towards anything related to sex. This can include feelings of disgust, discomfort or anxiety when talking about sex, seeing sexual images or being exposed to sexual content.
It's kind of like being scared of something that feels really new and different, or maybe something that your grown-up hasn't yet explained to you or you haven't learned about yet in school.
Some people may feel sexophobic due to their upbringing, cultural beliefs, or religious values. Others may have experienced sexual trauma or abuse, which can create a fear or aversion to anything sexual.
It's important to remember that although everyone has different beliefs and comfort levels when it comes to sex, it's not okay to judge, shame, or discriminate against others who do not share the same views. It's important to approach sex with respect and open communication, and to seek support or counseling if sexophobia is interfering with your ability to have healthy relationships or enjoy intimacy.
