Venustraphobia is described as the fear of beautiful women.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (60/100).
The claim that Venustraphobia is the fear of beautiful women is supported by multiple sources, which describe it as a specific phobia characterized by an irrational fear of beautiful women. However, it is not recognized in the DSM-5, and there is little evidence-based research confirming it as a real condition. The term is derived from Greek words and is also known as Caligynephobia. Despite the lack of formal recognition, the consistent description across sources supports the claim's factual basis.
