Philemaphobia or Philematophobia- Fear of kissing
The first kiss might be a scary venture; it may be rejected or reciprocated. You never know what will happen and this constant fear may delay your token of affection and finally it might turn a nightmare for you. This phobia might not interfere with one’s day to day life but might affect one’s personal and social relationships. Some people might be scared of the first kiss but the case is different in Philemphobia. Seeing people kiss on TV or in movies can disgust the patient. It might be caused by cultural beliefs (the act is sinful) or victims of rape, sexual assaults can be instrumental for developing this phobia. Talking it out with your partner, deep breathing might be of help to counter this phobia.
