Castration complex

Japanese: 去勢コンプレクス - きょせいコンプレクス(英語表記)castration complex
Castration complex
A term coined by S. Freud. A psychological reaction to parents threatening or restricting their children's sexual activity, a complex centered on the fantasy of castration. Boys experience "castration anxiety" (fear of being castrated) during the phallic stage (ages 3-7) when infantile masturbation becomes common, and girls at this time fantasize that their mothers have taken away the penis they were born with. At the heart of castration anxiety carried over into adulthood is still the fantasy accompanied by the irrational fear of being castrated.
