  Venustraphobia


“Yamc ha, you’ve described breathlessness, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, shaking, heart palpitations, inability to speak or think clearly, and a sensation of detachment from reality.  These are classic symptoms of Venustraphobia -- fear of beautiful women.  You don’t hate women, but have an inability to deal with them.”

“Right,” Yamcha agreed.  “I want a girlfriend, but I have anxiety attacks every time I see a pretty girl!”

“Do you remember the first time you experienced these symptoms?”

“It was my first day of middle school,” Yamcha recalled.  “I went to a boys’ school before that.  Since it was just me and my dad at home, I didn’t really have experience with girls.  As soon as I walked into my classroom, all I could see was short skirts and long, white legs and . . .”

“It’s all right, Yamcha.  You’re safe here.  Just take a few deep breaths and relax.  Your inexperience with females as a youth left you without the coping tools at that critical stage of puberty.  Now, you have a few options you can pursue.  We can begin intense sessions in hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming, acupuncture, or energy psychology.  These require a great deal of commitment on your part in participation and finance.”

“I can’t afford that!  Do you have any other suggestions?”

“You could accept your condition and live your life without female contact.  Join a monastery, become a hermit, or adopt an alternative lifestyle with a male companion.”

“I’ll get the money somehow!!” Yamcha vowed, storming from the doctor’s office.
