Psych phobia has multiple images, some of which are so strange that it is hard to believe that someone is suffering. A disease that can be diagnosed as a constant fear of certain situations or activities when they occur or even when they are thought of.
This fear makes the infected person live a troublesome, unhealthy, and always anxious life. People with phobia know that their fears are illogical, but they can not get rid of them. Some cases can coexist by avoiding stimuli, some can be eliminated by treatment Psychological.
Phobias are not limited to ordinary concerns, such as Acrophobia (Fear of Height), Ophidiophobia (Fear of Snakes), or unusual concerns such as Pupaphobia (puppet fear), Spectrophobia or catoptrophobia (Fear of mirrors), etc., but they also affect sexual life, and there are several types phobias related to sex. Let’s find out 10 of them

In some extreme cases, a person becomes frightened of death in the event of an erection, and may be separated from reality for some time with the nucleus of panic.
2. Gymnophobia – Fear of nudity.
This is the phobia of nudity, and those suffering from it are troubled by fear of nudity, whether it concerns them or others. They can not strip naked in front of others and can not see others naked. Phobia of this kind has nothing to do with hatred of nudity, which is linked to rational and moral justifications. This is irrational or logical. The reasons are different. They may stem from inferiority of the body, or because nudity makes them feel exposed and unprotected. The sight of a real naked body is unbearable, either it real naked bodies or in magazines, on television or in the cinema. It is a phobia that affects men as much as women.

The symptoms associated with this phobia are intense fear, rapid heartbeat, tension, anxiety attacks and lack of clarity of vision.
The causes of eurotohopbia are often related to traumatic situations experienced in childhood and often an unpleasant exposure to the sight of adult genitals. These are moments when the child has felt such a fright that the sight of a penis or a vulva becomes impossible in adulthood. The child may have been the victim of an exhibitionist, but he may also have surprised his parents naked or making love without there being a necessarily perverse attitude in the adult.

Some people are mocked by people with whom they have no chance, so that they do not have to face their fear of intimacy. They try to convince themselves of the fact that they can really love, but argue that if it did not work with a person, it was because it was an impossible love.

In some cases, the fear also extends to insulated rooms (cellar or attic), to those with low ceiling height, and even sometimes to small rooms (toilets, dressing rooms …), or those that are locked. “A lot of claustrophobic anxiety is linked to breathing,” says psychiatrist Antoine Pelissolo. In confined spaces, the person has the feeling of suffocating, of lack of air, until the idea that it could really, at a moment, no longer be able to breathe. ”
Depending on the intensity of their disorder, some claustrophobic manage to face their fear, the risk then to feel one or more signs of panic and adrenaline rush: heart racing, sweaty hands, head turning, breathing accelerating, legs shaking … But the majority of them practice rather avoidance.
