gynecological twin.

In reference to this heeelarious bit from The Daily Show, my chatbox status lately has been “vagina dentata american,” with the attendant avatar being a rather convincing image of the same (NSFW).

As expected, the only reaction I’ve gotten so far has been “Eesh” and “Oof” from chat buddies of the male gender.  “I don’t like that very much,” said one, and “Vagina dentata is NEVER funny if you have a penis. Trust me on this,” from another. This is so interesting to me. OBVIOUSLY it’s a myth, folklore, legend, what have you. So what is it about the concept that frightens men so much? Are they that attached (wokka) to their penises that any mention of harm sends them running? Is it honestly a fear of castration (read: threat to their masculinity)? I can’t think of an analogous situation for women, but if you can, please share. I just don’t understand why it’s such a sore (again, wokka) subject.

  1. Analogous? How about getting your vahjeen chopped off? Would that be a risk to your feminininininty?

  2. I meant something more comparable to the actual vagina dentata leitmotif, silly. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN, so why does it strike such a nerve?

  3. You’re totally right. It’s a super silly phobia. An analogous sitch would be… a penis that gives you vaginal leprosy? Or how about a penis with razor blades sticking out?

    Regardless, I’m a little surprised at your male friends’ reactions. Huge reaction to a small myth. Plus, wouldn’t they notice something like TEETH before sticking it in? I sure as hell wouldn’t hop on a rotting razor cock.

  4. Yes, it’s a myth, but the imagery is so vivid that it takes control of the imagination, and before you know it, you’re thinking about vulvic incisors severing your manhood. Just the mere thought of that horrible scenario can send shivers down any guy’s shaft. It’s a real phallus-shriveler. So, in the name of all that is holy and profane, stop perpetuating this vagina dentata meme. Thx.

  5. [...] No more posts about certain lady parts: [...]

  6. i say bring it on. i’ll brush and floss ‘em for that special someone.

  7. Oooo! This is a point mentioned. I like when everything in place while it is understandable to mere mortals.
