Many men experience fear of women: they fear total control from their side and their inadequate behavior towards them. There is also men's fear of sex and of their partners.
This is reported by the Dr. Evin website.
Fear of women and sexual intimacy occurs in men due to low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. The origins of mental health problems, in turn, come from deep childhood. In many families, children are raised by a single mother. In such a situation, children are emotionally and physically dependent on her. If the mother does not care, does not participate in the child's life or simply does not respond to the child, the child feels unhappy and lonely.
Often children are faced with the experience of subordinating their desires to their mother's interests in order to earn her love. Therefore, men's childhood experiences of feeling responsible for taking care of their mothers can lead them to be overly focused on any emotions of their partners as adults.
Such men constantly feel that women are dissatisfied with them for various reasons. To prove his point, he cited studies showing that in most couples, a woman's happiness is a major factor in determining a man's life satisfaction. Eight out of ten of men's top anxieties have to do with thinking as if they are not good enough for their partners or families. A different man can tell his wife's mood without even seeing her as soon as he opens the front door of the house.
When getting rid of the fear of intimacy helps couples therapy, during which the man will overcome his anxiety and learn to show more emotion to the partner, and the woman will become more understanding and patient with the chosen one.
