Would it be okay to add a term to asexuality which I coined? This is it:

  • Phobosexuality: An aversion, discomfort, or hatred towards the topic, idea, cultural influence, or other aspects of sexuality

@Otvm: a quick Google search tells me that phobosexuals are "People excited by the idea of having dark secrets, who enjoy being frightened by their desire" (http://www.hypocritereader.com/2/gross-afterthoughts).
