venustraphobia

noun

  1. Fear of beautiful women.

    rare, uncountable

    I'm working, however, on instilling a case of venustraphobia (fear of beautiful women—another use for Vicks) in my partner, and my daughter could use a little ataxophobia (fear of disorder or untidiness).

Where it comes from

From Latin venustus + -phobia, from Venus (“the goddess of love”).
