Beware! Vagina Dentata

Sci-fi geeks will recognise Vagina Dentata featured in the novel Snowcrash by Neal Stephenson, and psych geeks will think of Freud and his personal al dente issues. Now a modern generation have been introduced to this age old fear, since the release of Teeth, a film about a girl who has grown a set of fangs in her lady parts so firmly falling into the horror genre. The original poster has alledgedly been banned, though can be found at Empire Magazine as reported by io9.The tagline? Every rose has its thorns. ...

From Technovology:

"Legends and stories surrounding the vaginus dentata or "toothed vagina" have been around for centuries in cultures all over the world. In the Middle Ages, some Christians believed that witches could grow fangs in their vaginas.

(Although very rare, teeth can actually be found in vaginas; dermoid cysts are formed from the outer layer of embryonic skin cells, and these cells are able to mature into teeth.)

The term vagina dentata was created by Sigmund Freud as a part of his theories concerning castration anxiety."

They also report that South Aftrican inventor Sonette Ehlers has invented an anti-rape device, similar to one mentioned in Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash. Sadly for some girls in some parts of the world this is an invention that needed to happen.

"...a very small hypodermic needle slipped imperceptibly into the engorged frontal vein of his penis, automatically shooting a cocktail of powerful narcotics and depressants into his bloodstream." From Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson.
