[wnieyjqi] Phobia of being labeled a slut

What proportion of the population has a phobia -- as in a clinically diagnosable mental disorder -- of becoming labeled a slut? Is there a word for it?

Possibly some uncertainty about whether it is a rational or irrational fear, given society's harsh punishment mechanisms against sluts, though that could be resolved by examining the thought process surrounding the fear.

If it's a phobia, it can be powerfully used to manipulate people.
