Phobia of clowns
June 12, 2013 at 4:04 pm
Does anyone have a phobia of clowns?
How would you react if we dressed you as a clown and then held a mirror in front of you?
Always been interested in that specifically for some reason, maybe because i'm studying phobias as part of my psychology course.

Even the ones that are meant to be scary in horror films I find endearing to be honest. Sorry I'm of no help

Not sure if you are joking or not but just in case:
Phobias have got nothing to do with sex or sexuality. Its nothing to do with being a scaredy cat

Be careful if someone offers to sell you a poodle for cheap. Could be a big black sewer rat with a perm.

It becomes a phobia when you have never seen one in real life and they haunt your nightmares.

Well... phobias can be rational too, phobia of knives, cars, snakes etc. They are afraid of them for obvious reasons
