Genophobia (also known as Cortophobia) is the fear of sexual intercourse. This phobia maybe caued by actual sexual trauma ( such as rape or molestation especially at an early age ) or by witnessing a tramatic sexual act in real life or the media. Not all instances of Genophobia are irrational. Some women may have once experienced Vaginismus, whicw results in pain during sex. Even after treatment some demonstrate a reluctance to engage in intercourse.

Genophobia is the physical or psychological fear of sexual relations or sexual intercourse. The word comes from the Greek terms genos, meaning “offspring,” and phobos, meaning “fear.” Genophobia can also be called coitophobia. This word is also formed from the Greek term phobos and the term coitus, referring to the act of copulation in which the male reproductive organ penetrates the female reproductive tract.[1] The term erotophobia can also be used when describing genophobia. It comes from the Greek term phobos and reference to the Greek god of erotic love, Eros. Genophobia can induce panic and fear in individuals, much like panic attacks. People who suffer from the phobia can be intensely affected by attempted sexual contact or just the thought of it. The extreme fear can lead to trouble in romantic relationships. Those afflicted by genophobia may stay away from getting involved in relationships to avoid the possibility of intimacy. This can lead to feelings of loneliness. Genophobic people may also feel lonely because they may feel embarrassed or ashamed of their personal fears.
