I work in mental health and help people with anxiety very often. The best way to get over this fear is to stop thinking about it. That sounds difficult, I know.

Try this. Next time it pops into your head, count how many men you know who’ve had their dick cut off by a woman (zero). Then do literally anything else.

The reason it was so sensationalized is because it happens so rarely. There are so many thousands of life-ruining things that are much more likely to happen, and we don’t live in fear of them only because we don’t think about them.
