Sex, Intimacy and Body Image Phobias

A specific phobia centered on sex, sexual anatomy, nudity or related aspects of intimacy and body image, distinguished from the broader relationship and social-emotional phenomena gathered elsewhere in this subcategory by naming a specific, diagnosable fear response rather than a general relationship dynamic. This group gathers the sex, intimacy and body image phobias recorded under Psychology's Specific Phobias group, including fears of sexual activity or sexual anatomy, of nudity, and of experiencing pleasure or happiness itself.
