Male or Female? (Out of curiosity)

[SnugglePuff]

I had a realization today that all of the Emetophobes I've met online (and that's quite a few) were female.

I don't recall ever talking to a male phobic. Now, I know there have got to be some of you out there, so let's have a little roll call.

Reply with your gender!

[gumdropper1]

Male. And I'm not the only one.

[SnugglePuff]

Probably because of morning sickness, haha. That's strange that you don't see too many male sufferers.

Boys don't talk about emetophobia. ;P

[KaydeeJayde]

I agree. Males are less likely to talk about or seek help for emetophobia. That said, Doug isn't the only male on the boards, there've been many come and go over the time I've been a member.

Me, I'm female.

Female. I agree with the others that it's probably because women are more inclined to seek help in a community whereas men suffer in silence. As for women v* more often, well we do have more triggers pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations, and we are more prone to stress and anxiety as a rule.

Female, and I have to agree, there are much more women here than men, but they'll find you. And btw, we are not a bad company, if you ever need help

[hairyfairy]

I`m female, someone once answered one of my threads calling me "dude", I don`t know how they got the impression that I was male!

[stopthissong]

Female... I have met males on here though haha.

[arora]

Female right here!

[Erica1649]

Female, but yea we are good to talk to

[KaydeeJayde]

Oh my gosh, please! I explained, 'dude' is actually something I call everyone, no matter whether they're male or female.

[Murder-my-soul]

I am female. I think that males try to be manly about it and ignore it as much as possible and never seek help.

I used to be like that.

[socitycourty]

female here!!

[FearNoStorm]

Female! And apparently in the majority.

[RosieRoo]

Female here, and I've heard that emetophobia is fairly rare to find in men, which is why there are seemingly way more women online here than there are guys. Interesting to know. It also said the reason most women are emetophobic is because of morning sickness, they're afraid of getting sick from being pregnant.... I know it certainly makes me wanna keep my legs shut!! lol

[Jack Wheatley]

Male, first forum I have joined but in my experience it is usually females. I know my fear stems from a young age, my mum has Krones desease and was constantly ill when I was growing up. I have only (In living memory) been sick 3 separate times in 26 years, the last time 9 years ago. I will do literally anything to avoid being sick, i hate this phobia. The women I have dated have mostly understood my fear but it really has effected so much of my life

[sparkles65]

Male from the UK .

Newbie poster but been using this site for a couple of years to try and get some support.

Have to agree with Jack , it has affected a lot of my life and has gotten worse the past few years .

[DeadxxInside92]

Fixxxer is a dude! lol but yeah, I get whatchya mean. Anywhoooo I'm a female

It would make sense that women vomit more....morning sickness, hormones, PMS, etc.

[MissieJ0322]

Female. Honestly, any men that I have tried to talk to about this think I am completely crazy.

[KaydeeJayde]

Aw, really? For me, men have been the most supportive save from my father. My bosses at work are SO nice about it, and my make co-worker takes care of any customers who are ill for me so I don't have to... It's funny how people's experiences differ.

[twinmom73]

I was a male....until the operation....


Just kidding! I'm a female (and was born as one!)

[teh folder]

Male, though currently I am doing very well. I no longer feel very phobic.
I was phobic for as long as I could remember until I entered my late teens early 20's. Since then each year I seem to get a little better.

[Valen]

I Am A Lady ((: & twinmom, tht made me laugh so hard! i didnt expect that..lol..

[JustHannah]

I'm proud to be a female

[SabreRed]

Female. I think women talk about it more

[roup455]

I'm a female.

[KaydeeJayde]

I'm a male, im not scared of anything (could let a snake or lizard or mouse crawl on my arm) except of emet, really badly

Whether you're male or female doesn't dictate whether you're afraid of anything, I'm a female and I could handle snakes, lizards, mice, rats as well

[Aspie Grrrl]

Female, but my dad and grandpa are emets too. It just presents differently in males sometimes (often with anger/avoidance rather than outward anxiety).

[Jay417]

I'm the transgender person that was mentioned. I'm a male.
