Vagina Dentata. The toothed vagina appears in the mythology of many and diverse cultures all over the world. In these myths, the story is always the same. The hero must do battle with the woman, the toothed creature, and break her power. The myth springs from a primitive masculine dread of the mysteries of women and sexual union. Fears of weakness, impotence. It is a nightmare image of the power and horror of female sexuality. The myth imagines sexual intercourse as an epic journey that every man must make back to the womb, the dark crucible that hatched him.
I never want you to feel like you have to make everything the thing.
Why can’t we put everything that we have into everything that we can?
Baby, if that’s true, then why put so much pressure on this one?
Because I…..I don’t know if I could do another one.
