I read this book, What Are You Afraid Of?, for an English class. It's a book of short stories about people with phobias. I am now writing my response paper to the book and I found some phobias I wanted to share with you. Let's be grateful we don't have these:
Menophobia- Fear of menstruation.
Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
Cibophobia- Fear of food.
Coprastasophobia- Fear of constipation.
Luiphobia- Fear of lues, syphillis. (okay, so we don't want an STD, but I thought of you guys knowing, like I did, that the people of Grey's Anatomy do NOT have this phobia).
Trichopathophobia or Trichophobia- Fear of hair. (maybe after living with THIGHS)
Sinophobia- Fear of Chinese, Chinese culture. (thank you, you guys)
Soceraphobia- Fear of parents-in-law. (maybe?????? not yet anyway. :) )
Love you guys. Have a safe and phobia free day!
Love, Nog

Oh, and . . .
Eurotophobia- Fear of female genitalia. (Happy Centovulation!)
Erotophobia- Fear of sexual love or sexual questions. (Thank you Marta for your Women's Health knowledge. We will proudly ask you any question.)
Well you're all welcome. And what's funny is that I worked with a crazy lady that had the phobia of hair, and she would literally pluck every hair off her body. She was completely bald and I'm assuming hair-free (I never had the opportunity to see her naked, so I can only assume, thank goodness). Crazy!
