According to health site Dr Ology, Sarmassophobia is a fear of dating and relationships, with people often experiencing anxiety in romantic and sexual situations.
Sarmassophobia can often occur after experiences of rejection, infidelity or discomfort with intimacy.
Khloe opened up to Kim about her fears of dating again and how she might have to seek professional help to manage it.
Asked by the SKIMS founder if she was dating, Khloe said: “It’s a tough world out there for me… You know what? Now I feel like I’ve gone so long now. It’s like so scary to get back in there.’

The 41-year-old was repeatedly cheated on by her most recent ex, Tristan Thompson, who is the father to her two children – daughter True, seven, and son Tatum, three.
The basketball player was first unfaithful to Khloe when she was nine months pregnant with their daughter in 2018.
A year later rumours circulated that Tristan had hooked up with her sister Kylie Jenner’s best friend Jordyn Woods – though Jordyn has always denied the claims.
Prior to Tristan, Khloe was married to LA Lakers star Lamar Odom from 2009 to 2013.
Khloe caught her then-husband with another woman in a motel in downtown L.A back in 2013, leading to the end of their relationship.
The couple finalised their divorce three years later, after Khloe helped Lamar recover from an overdose in 2015.
In the same episode, Khloe also quizzed Kim about whether she’s been on the dating scene.
“Honestly, no. Isn’t that crazy?” she replied. ‘I haven’t had time. And I’m okay with that.
The All’s Fair actor explained that her legal studies were also taking priority over any romance currently
“I thought, you know, I am going to be studying. I won’t have time.’
