I personally believe an anonymous poll would be a better way to ask this question as it would give you a rough Idea of the proportion of people affected with this affectation.

It seems that at least some of the individuals who are genophobic are vocal in their commentary whenever an image that is blatantly sexual is posted. Similarly it seems that when a piece of process containing other lesser followed fetishes (guro, vore, etc.) the general community is up in outrage.

While I'm sure such a poll would generate more responses, they wouldn't be verifiable in any way. I'm sure tons of people would vote just for the heck of it.

At the other people: people who visit the general section are already perfectly capable of expressing their feelings about sex. They're quite vocal. The people who are afraid of being on this site (for whatever reason, more likely underage than any actual sex hangups) don't actually post here in the general section.

At Sweeney Todd: genophobia has nothing to do with whether a person is genuinely ready to have sex or not. It is an aversion to sex usually generated from consistent and pervasive negative imagery or attitudes towards sex or sexual abuse as a child. My hypothesis here is that at least some of the people here are circumventing an ingrained aversion to sexuality through paraphilias that allow them to express themselves sexually and gain sexual release in the absence of the disturbing imagery of actual sex acts.

This isn't a bad thing. No, It's something you can't really decide to have, like natural hair color. You can get past this, given a supportive partner and therapy and whatnot.
