I hate penises!

I'm not gonna hang myself or rape little kids or anything.
Im just, a little traumatized is all...

My only sexual encounter was with him,
And I will be thirty in four months.

I've had plenty of opportunities for sex.

But I haven't done it, because I am afraid of penis.

I've seen them in the flesh before. When I do, I get really nauseous.
I have watched porn movies to try to get over my fear of penis,
Which has only made it worse!
Ewww!

One time I tried to have sex. When I was nineteen, with my boyfriend. I closed my eyes, I couldn't bare to see it.
But when it touched me, I broke down into tears. I cried for days. Whenever I saw him, I started to cry.

So obviously I've never been in any successful relationships.
I've had three since my boyfriend when I was nineteen, two of them cheated on me.
They couldn't handle more than one vagina-less month.

And before you say "So why don't you just go lesbian?"

Gross… other women's vaginas disgust me, too, nearly as much as PENIS!

I am attracted to men, but,
I HATE PENISES!

Normal? Doubt it.

    Penises are just about the ugliest things ever... but you shouldn't be afraid of them. You should probably look into therapy.

      Umm... Its one thing to be uncomfortable about ones body, but quite another thing to literally fear any portion of your body. I honestly think you need to get help. I don't mean that in a cruel way, I'm just trying to help out. You need help.

      Seeing as how your fear of penises would indicate that you are heterosexual, that 'icky vagina' is something you will spend the rest of your life trying to get close enough to to touch.

      Men come out of a vagina when they're born, and spend the rest of their lives trying to get back in one.

    Not normal, but lets face it penises are pretty damn ugly.

    Im a guy, I like porn, (though I do try to stop watching it with mixed success), and when I see a girl giving blow jobs I always just think "how the hell can u do that?"

    If you dont like either sexes genetals then you dont like sex and are an a-sexual just like me. A-sexuals are people who simply dont enjoy sex with other people its perfectly normal dont worry about it and find a person you can be with that is the same or doesnt mind a sexless relationship.

    I hate them too! Maybe your an asexual! Just because society tells you to have sex and you don't want to doesn't make you a freak! I don't see why you care if its normal, just be who you are and don't force yourself to live by "civilizations" standards!

    Get a dildo and practice your reaction to a real penis, I was afraid too. When I first saw my boyfriends penis, I screamed, but I got over it

    1. masturbating is the best way to become more in touch with your own sexuality.

    2. you need to get to the bottom of why penises are so distressing to you. maybe you were molested as a child? maybe you associate penises with something (power, being tied down by marriage, having babies, etc) that freaks you out? You need to do some soul searching/see a counselor and get to the bottom of what's going on. I am very confident that you can and that you will eventually not be so disturbed by penises. Hang in there girl!

    Also...if you never do end up being ok about penises...NOTHING wrong with a penis free life, I'm sure a girl out there could make you happy!

    I have had a fase like this, but it turned out that it's a lot less scary when you have the guy wash it first. Then you don't have to feel dirty or anything. It'll help you get over. And it is very normal to ask a guy to wash before you touch.

    Good luck!

  • "Phallophobia" is the name given to the fear of a penis particularly an erect penis. This phobia can develop in both males and females. The fear may have developed during childhood if the person was raped, if they were raised in an environment that taught that sex is somehow wrong and even sexual thoughts are a form of sin. A person may be embarrassed about an erection and want to get away from it. When early anxiety attaches to a person’s unconscious a phobia can develop. A person with this phobia may avoid social situations which can interfere with healthy relationships. The phobia may continue long after the person is away from the original cause.

    The Phallophobia can trigger when the person sees, thinks about or has an erect penis. The anxiety symptoms triggered can include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, shaking, shortness of breath, heart palpitations and panic attacks. Sometimes the person has symptoms severe enough to need medical treatment. The person will maintain phobic responses even if they are aware that the fear is basically unrealistic unless they are able to make a commitment to change.

    It should be known that Phalloophobia is an anxiety disorder that can respond to a variety of treatments depending on what will seem to meet the patient’s needs. This phobia can be treated in a clinic which deals with anxiety disorders, by psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and hypnotherapy. There are even short term online programs for treatment of Phallophobia. During treatment, a person will learn to understand the fear, and develop coping methods to deal with and perhaps eradicate the anxiety related to the fear of an erect penis.

    You need to find out why you are scared of penises, as it may be due to an incedent you went through. I wouldn't say I'm scared of them but they disgust me, I can't look at one or stroke one without feeling slightly sick or weird.

    Take one step at a time

    you hate penises. and now, you're telling us this in the hope that ONE of us will know how to slip through your well established neurotic defenses and convince you to take that first step and see a therapist. But the first step isn't the hardest. The hardest step is THE SECOND STEP.

    But you have to take the first step to get there. Me, I don't think you were molested. At least not physically. I think this is an attitude thing that PROBABLY came from your mother. Let me ask you something. Do you have a phobia against spiders?

    It's normal if women don't like penises, but phobia is not normal though. There's plenty of straight women that don't like penises so no need to worry, same with straight men and vaginas (speaking for myself). But having a phobia towards it may not be so normal and there might need to be some help for it. Since there's a difference between not liking penises and having "phallophobia" in general.

    The problem is the penis , not the people !
    This was written 8 years ago and sorry to let us know the world has not changed yet, men still have a cucumber inbetween their legs.
    I hate them ,
    Because seriously between a vagina and something HANGING , the choice is easy.
    Because they got just ONE HOLE to pee and the sperm exit. While urethra and vagina allow two exits for two different things.
    Because not only they got to stand something hanging from their birth but also without a doubt it is ugly.
    Because there are rapes owing to them and women can get pregnants from a rape.
    Because most men did not think once in their life , is it ugly or not , and imagine it as a king.
    Because it does not make men SMART people.
    Because many men cannot even put on condoms.
    Because men surely peed on their faces as babies , and it did not wait puberty to erect. Again why they never reflect on the prettiness .
    Because women who would not get pregnant should simply not open their legs , but instead they take pills which is not good for their health and most women do not push for condoms and if they are lucky enough to know their period time , they will not end with an unwanted baby with years of pills helping but with sexual disease.

    FYI , I was not raped , I have a boyfriend who know things perfectly , I do not hate men but the world would be more perfect without penises which could have stayed as hidden and cute as clitoris , balls could have stayed inside the body as for cocks roosters , there should not be rapes , nor prostitutions , men should think twice when they see it as beautiful even if we do not have all the same opinions , clearly it is ugly.

    I know your struggle , the world is not perfect , this is why not need to support a creator.

    You are probably, very most likely, asexual. I am too. I am attracted to men in a romantic way, but I can't ever be sexually attracted to men. I don't have feelings for women, and I also think vaginas are just as disgusting as a penis is. I like to kiss and cuddle, things above the waist. I don't want anything genitals related, which is common for the orientation of asexuality. Mine is called heteroromantic asexuality, and I think you are just as I am. For more info about asexuality, here's a good link where you can read all about it: www.asexuality.org

    And, poster, obviously something traumatic occurred in that one sexual experience you had. Possibly try seeking therapy, or an outlet of some sort...

    You may just have pent up emotions, or something deeper, that you haven't truly overcome.

    You might just look into trying to pinpoint the cause... And working through it, once you have.

    I used to be afraid of the penis too... I was like "stick it in but don't let me see it" lol. But, I mean - porno penises are intimidating and very above average! You just need to take it one encounter at a time - express how you feel. If the guy is into you he will take it slow as well. And they come in all different shapes and sizes - I finally got COMPLETELY over my fear of penises when I got to meet the perfect one haha. It's like meant for me. Anyway, you'll get over it.

And I certainly never realised that there were that many women out there with issues about penis's either. Jesus, what are mothers teaching their daughters these days? Are we still living in the frikking middle ages? Girl, get help, you are the problem, not the penis. I'm sad that you have this issue about something so natural.

    I love penises. My husband's penis turns me on more than anything. I'm not sure if maybe it's something in your past that's specifically traumatized you or what, but like some others have said, try using dildos. They don't have to actually look like a penis, dildos are manufactured in all kids of fashions nowadays, believe me. And then, if/when you feel comfortable with it, you could progress to one that looks more like an actual penis, and then a little more, and then a little more, and so on and so forth.

    Honestly sex is just a part of your relationship with your partner. I don't care what anyone says, sex is necessary and it's a beautiful thing. And so are penises. Embrace the penis and you will discover the happiness in brings!

    Best of luck to you.
