I'm a 25 y/o male and get more than a fair amount of attention from women. I've always found emotional intimacy difficult, however after watching this movie about a vagina with teeth with my (at the time) girlfriend I cannot bring myself to have any sort of a relationship, sexually and emotionally, with the opposite sex.
For those of who you haven't seen it or heard about it, here is the link to IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780622/
I found the movie disturbing, but the reaction of my ex-gf and her friends even more disturbing. Smug looks towards me during the castration scenes, "joking" threats afterwards. This seems to be common theme, looking through comments about the movie. Women find this empowering, and enjoy making their male partners uncomfortable and threatened. While I don't find this threatening, I do find this disturbing - that a woman can apparently love a man yet taking pleasure in the fantasy of castrating him, rendering him "not a man".
Am I alone in this problem? Do other guys feel the same way, or have women had problems getting their guy to perform or simply leaving them if joking threats were made?
All opinions/thoughts welcome.
twilight, I thought how badly done it was first was sort of funny but on reflection, I really can't admit I found it funny. What did you find funny?
PJ - vaginal dentata does not feature in Freud's theories. Others have taken his theories and modified them to include the idea of the castrating vagina.
naomi - this has nothing to do with kicking a man's ass for disrespecting for you...a man can respect a woman totally and will she will take pleasure in these sort of fantasies. are you telling me you don't feel powerful when giving your b.f a BJ because you have your teeth round his manhood? be honest now...
