Venustraphobia is the intense fear of beautiful women. Individuals who suffer from this phobia may experience anxiety or panic attacks when confronted with attractive women or even when thinking about them.
This fear can stem from various psychological factors, including past experiences, social anxiety, or low self-esteem. Those affected might avoid social situations where they might encounter beautiful women or develop irrational beliefs about them being unattainable or judgmental.
Like other phobias, venustraphobia can be treated through therapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals challenge and change their negative thoughts, or exposure therapy, where they gradually face their fears in a controlled environment.
