Explanation

Venustraphobia (also known as caligynephobia) is indeed the fear of beautiful women. The name derives from Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty and love. This is distinct from other listed fears - isolation (autophobia), public speaking (glossophobia), and punishment (poinephobia) are all separate conditions.
