History Main / FreudianThreat

* During the opening scene of the ''ComicBook/SinCity'' story "The Big Fat Kill," Dwight [=McCarthy=], having dropped in on an asshole by the name of Jackie-Boy who's been abusing his ex, issues this vicious threat:

* The Morrigan's WarGoddess aspect Badb in ''ComicBook/TheWickedAndTheDivine'' is unsettlingly fond of these, once threatening to rip a man's shinbone out to use as a dildo. (This man being her boyfriend, for added {{Squick}} or {{Fetish}}).

* A fic in Creator/AAPessimal's Literature/{{Discworld}} has two young Assassin students, spending school hols on a farm run by one girl's parents, discovering what a handy working tool a set of bloodless castrators can be. In the opinion of male farm workers watching, they are enjoying this necessary task of animal husbandry (gelding surplus males) ''far too much'', and [[ShareTheMalePain lots of male thighs clang shut in self-protection]]. They the take souvenir castrators back to school with them, where their (female) teachers approve of them as useful tools in the Assassin armoury. Although only to be used if the contract calls for ''extreme prejudice''.

* In the ''Fanfic/AlternateTailSeries'', Mira order Kage to dispell the Wind Barrier surrounding Oshibana Station or she'll personally remove his family jewels. Her male teammates [[ShareTheMalePain wince in sympathy]].

* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'' heavily implied this once happened to the protagonist on a previous adventure:

* In the manga version of ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', as part of his InsultFriendlyFire, Guts replies to [[StrawMisogynist General Adon's]] threats of capturing Casca and making her his troop's SexSlave by warning him that she would "bite it right off". Casca elbows Guts in the back of the head.
* In ''Manga/AkameGaKill'', Chelsea catches Tatsumi attempting to peep at her bathing. She says she'll forgive him, but if he ever tries it again, she won't hesitate to cut it off, much to Tatsumi's horror.
-->'''Tatsumi:''' "Uhh, Did you say ''cut it off''? Cut what off?"
* Ange in ''Anime/CrossAnge'' threatens Tusk with this when she bites a mushroom so violently that he cringed.
* In ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'', Shirou's mother Irisviel playfully threatens to do this to him, making scissor motions with her fingers, if she catches him trying to make a move on his sisters Illya and Kuro/Chloe. He repeatedly protests that he would never do that to his own sisters, to no avail.
* A rare female vs. female example in ''Manga/MagicalGirlSpecOpsAsuka'': in the final episode during a flashback scene, Francine makes a joking ([[LovableSexManiac or not so joking]]) advance on [[TortureTechnician Kurumi]]. She retorts that she'll inject Francine with a drug that will destroy her sex drive.
* In the English Dub of ''Manga/FairyTail'', [[CatFolk Happy]] -- who has [[LoveAtFirstSight just met Carla]] -- goes over to Lucy and tells her that she'll give her his fish if she tells the female cat that he's not neutered. Since Happy is grabbing her leg, Lucy warns him to stop looking up her skirt, or he ''will'' be neutered.

** In the manga, Senshumaru tells Renji to cooperate with her or she'll cut off "[[ICallHimMisterHappy little Renji]]" if he doesn't.

* A well-known part in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' where Cloud, Aeris, and Tifa threaten the resident pimp Don Corneo while likewise interrogating him by telling him they'll "cut 'em off", "rip 'em off", and "smash 'em" in turn. The remake keeps this intact, with the bonus of hearing Corneo squirm every time a threat is issued.

* ''Series/{{Arrow}}''. In "The Fallen", [[ComicBook/{{Katana}} Tatsu]] holds a soldier at sword point and tries to force him to talk with it at his throat. He won't talk. She moves it lower to his chest and he still won't. Then she aims it at his groin. He sings like a canary.

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': In "[[Recap/HelluvaBossS2E6Oops Oops]]", {{Asmodeus}} is confident that none of his subordinates will blab about his [[OpenSecret not-so]]-SecretRelationship with Fizzarolli. After all, he can retaliate in the most freudian of ways; he demonstrates this by punching a statue's dick into rubble. The demons present quickly take the hint ([[ShareTheMalePain some of them even reflexively cover their groins]]) and leave the room.

* ''Blog/ThingsMrWelchIsNoLongerAllowedToDoInAnRPG'': Mr. Welch "can't make anyone Jewish with a called shot."

* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'': Chi-Chi has done this twice. In episode 3, she casually threatens to castrate Krillin for [[ShootTheMessenger telling her that Goku is dead and that Gohan has been kidnapped by Piccolo]]. In episode 59, she threatens to "[[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon tie Goku to a chair, gag him with a radish and castrate him with a butter knife]]" for making Gohan fight Cell.

* ''Series/CriminalMinds''. Elle has the [=UnSub=] at gunpoint while he's lying on the floor, and demands to know where he's keeping his kidnapping victim. He refuses to say, so she puts one foot on his crotch and starts putting her weight on it. Cut to the girl being rescued shortly thereafter.

* In one episode of ''Series/CriminalMinds'', Elle has the UnSub at gunpoint while he's lying on the floor, and demands to know where he's keeping his kidnapping victim.

* ''Series/CowboyBebop2021''. A member of TheSyndicate is infamous for having once cut off the testicles of an enemy and ate them. While negotiating with Vicious, he makes a point of using his knife to dine on juicy tomatoes. Small red ones the size of human testicles.
