I think vaginas are like Mexicans—the more you meet and get to know, the more you like them.

Vagina-related fears in men are common. One of the most common is "vagina dentata". (Literally that the "vagina has teeth".) Equally common are performance-related fears.

Because it is deeply un-masculine to admit to such fear, the unconscious transfers that fear to vagina symbols such as elevators and tunnels.

A bit of therapy may be in order for you boys.


Fear of falling is more likely insecurity about one's position in life. Not feeling stable. Having the bottom drop out from under you.

It is easy to dream a falling feeling. The next time you have the dream consider that you can always push the stop button, even in your sleep.

This should alarm many w/ regard to elevators. How can someone be so evil.

Just read that and was going to post it here.
Hope they do the same thing to him.

I'm not afraid of elevators.
The thing I hate is getting on an elevator with a crowd of snot nosed, hacking, farting, smelly (both hygiene or perfume), slobbering, drunk , rude, etc. people. Luckily I don't have to ride in them often.

Under 10 stories most of the time I'd rather get the exercise and take the stairs.

My nightmare has the elevator shooting up through the top floor at high speed. Sometimes, I'm falling, but usually not. Some really interesting perspectives in this thread :)
