vagina dentata:

Or: vagina-dententa , Latin for vagina with teeth or toothed vagina . In psychoanalytic theory, the unconscious fantasy that the vagina contains teeth that can castrate a male during coition ; this fantasy is said to be based, in males, on castration anxiety, and in females, on penis-envy and a subconscious desire to castrate the males out of revenge. The image of a toothed vagina may also represent a man's fear of sex and/or women.
