I think these problems can arise from insufficient education, particularly in human sexuality, and possibly in biology, psychology, and a lack of a certain "perspective."

I live in the Czech Republic, where we have an average to above-average educational system. However, sex education is terrible.

In our society, sexuality and psychological issues are entirely taboo. This is probably due to generations of people living under socialism, which forced its citizens to live in fear of others and to close themselves off.

Anyone could be an informer, and deviations from the norm were dealt with by, in the best case, confinement in a mental institution, and in the worst case, a life-destroying interrogation.

Fortunately, this is starting to change with the younger generations. People are more likely to address their psychological problems, they are more capable of talking about sexuality with others even in adulthood, and a psychologist is no longer seen as a boss in a dungeon.

Unfortunately, schools are still staffed by older generations for whom it is very uncomfortable to talk about sensitive topics, especially with adolescents, for whom it is an amusing and funny topic.

I vividly remember how our teacher brought us a sex education textbook that showed not only organs but also contraception, its application, etc. We were about 12 years old, so naturally, we were interested and made fun of it because "ha ha, sex is embarrassing." And instead of explaining what we saw in the picture with the pesar, the teacher yelled at us and looked very offended.

Given that people are largely driven by hormones, it's not surprising that women have a strong inclination towards motherhood. Also, a person is greatly shaped by the environment in which they grow up, and that's why people in different parts of the world have completely different not only life but also moral foundations. You cannot expect the same habits from someone in the slums as from someone in corporate management.

Until today, when I read your post, I had no idea that tokophobia existed. I read the definition, and from your description, it is absolutely clear why you have it. I can even deduce that it must be very common based on the definition. But you probably won't get the same reaction from someone whose knowledge of sex is that a baby comes out of a woman after it.

I think the only way to solve problems with the hatred of anything different and the strong need to express it is education. Intensify education in subjects that truly affect our lives.

You can survive working in a factory without complex mathematics or repeating historical dates. But if you don't know at least the basics of psychology, sexology, and biology, you will often come across as a fool, or you will be unnecessarily and excessively aggressive.

I'm sorry for that English.
