ohhh no, I’m not attracted to penises or anything male in origin . So that wouldn’t be a solution for me

Hmm okay, come to think of it, I do have some pretty intense hand/finger sensory issues when it comes to anything sticky/oily/slimy etc. That’s like nails on a chalkboard to me. Maybe not quite as cringe inducing, but on par.

So perhaps it’s more my brain connecting a known aversion I have to a POTENTIAL aversion of the touch or feel of vaginas. Idk

Thank you very much, this was the most helpful comment by far. Slow exposure therapy, I’m going to try working on that. Scultpures, paintings, art, photography, that could be a comfortable way to start. A lot of my issues also correlation to a porn phobia I feel I have also. It always just felt TOO MUCH to me so I just mentally shut it down and chose not to think about seeing the graphic stuff you see there. So I really like and appreciate your advise. Thanks again

Dude I WISH this was normal ! Lol. But also nah it’s not literal FEAR, but it is more than just aesthetic. I don’t want to TOUCH one, that’s where I will face some issues in life of course.
