Fear Of Sex Indoors And 12 Other Sexual Phobias
By Denise Ngo. Posted on .
Most of us have either had or fantasized about outdoor sex, but for Danielle Vincely, it's the only type of sex she really knows. The 24 year old reportedly has a phobia of doing the deed indoors, saying that the experience chokes her up and gives her near-panic attacks. After trying anti-depressants, Danielle decided that she would rather have sex where she likes it—on park benches and hoods of cars—than become dependent on drugs.
Sex may be a completely natural, enjoyable part of life, but we we all know that it can be stressful enough without being hampered by a phobia. As it turns out, there are a slew of irrational fears about sex, which include:
Ithyphallophobia is the fear of seeing, having, or thinking about erections. This phobia, which affects both men and women, is also called medorthophobia and phallophobia.
Medomalacuphobia, on the other hand, is the fear of losing an erection. Granted, plenty of men feel nervous about going limp, but only those whose lives are crippled by the phobia are diagnosed with the actual anxiety disorder. Male Take: When He Can't Get An Erection
