Caligynephobia (or Venustraphobia) is the persistent and unwarranted fear or phobia of beautiful women, often experienced when physically interacting with an attractive female.
Defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of beautiful women", each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress.

To add insult to an already distressing condition, most caligynephobia therapies take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear. We believe that not only is this totally unnecessary, it will often make the condition worse. And it is particularly cruel as caligynephobia can be eliminated with the right methods and just 24 hours of commitment by the phobic individual.

Known by a number of names - Caligynephobia, Venustraphobia, and Fear of Beautiful Women being the most common - the problem often significantly impacts the quality of life. It can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates.

Effects and Symptoms

Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone experiences caligynephobia in their own way and may have different symptoms. Caligynephobia is estimated to effect approximately 0.47% of males in Britain, and 0.61% in America. Its effects ultimately lead to a decrease in social and business activities, as communication with alluring women is generally attempted to be avoided where possible.
