Covert sexual symbolism and repressed desire is everywhere. Sometimes also known as "Paging Dr. Freud..."
Not only is [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory everyone in purgatory]] -- everything is about sex.
Two HeterosexualLifePartners who spend a lot of time together and enjoy each other's company? [[HoYay They're really gay]]. DamselInDistress being mentally tortured by a sadistic villain? He's really [[MindRape raping her]]. Two girls smile at each other? They're really [[SchoolgirlLesbians thinking about having sex]]. Some dude gives a pencil to an attractive young lady? WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic?! OverprotectiveDad has reservations about letting his daughter date? Instant ''{{Squick}}!'' Brother and sister hug? It's symbolic of [[BrotherSisterIncest incest]]. [[OedipusRex Biblical patriarchs, creepy father figures and guys who just don't get along with their dads]]? It's about sexual rivalry ''between sonny and daddy''.
WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic? You heard Freud.
It's annoying, but there is an up-side for the writers. A [[FanWank fan-fabricated]] {{Subtext}} can attract as large and loyal a PeripheryDemographic as real {{Subtext}} -- just ask the fans of ''KimPossible''.
The TropeNamer is Dr. Sigmund Freud, a Viennese doctor who proposed a theory of human behavior and development based on the idea that all our desires are ultimately expressions of instinctual, biological desires. Like, oh for instance, sex. Poor Freud has been [[{{Flanderization}} flanderized]] beyond belief, but such is the price of fame. Died of cancer from smoking cigars. There's also the matter of his having assumed that the issues felt by his [[SmallReferencePools Gilded Age upper-middle/upper class, mostly female Viennese clientele]] were universal to all humanity...
Some say Freud was right about [[EveryoneIsBi something else]], too. Not to be confused with AllPsychologyIsFreudian. Frequently leads to AccidentalInnuendo.

!!Examples
[[folder:General]]
* There's a sizable contingent of Christian critics in the United States who will automatically assume that virtually ''any'' story with a generic message of "accept others for who they are" or "be tolerant of people who are different from you" is attempting to promote acceptance of homosexuality.
* Any character with a {{BFS}}, {{BFG}} or a ReallyBigGun is CompensatingForSomething. It can be intentional (as with the {{Anvilicious}} Lesbian Deagle example on the ReallyBigGun page) or unintentional, but these days it's almost always {{lampshaded}}. If the characters don't notice, the fandom definitely will. Just ask any ''FinalFantasyVII'' fan about length versus girth and you'll find out.
** There's a mention of something to this effect in the ''{{Dragaera}}'' book ''Dzur''. After experiencing pleasant feelings from his new EmpathicWeapon, Vlad notes that he finally understands why his friends who possessed similar objects were always compulsively stroking them.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* ''OnePiece'' fans have probably realized that Franky's hair becomes flaccid when he runs out of juice. Quick refill and [[SomethingElseAlsoRises it jumps right back up]].
* Fans have frequently noted a similarity between the monsters in ''BlueGender'' and, um... well, ''[[http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/3002/ohmy.jpg see for yourself]]''.
** Kinda reminds me of the [[spoiler:[[strike:[[FanNickname GIANT SPACE CUNTS]]]]]] enemy ships in ''{{Vandread}}''...
* Referenced in ''WelcomeToTheNHK''. Misaki tries to psychoanalyze Satou's dreams. Satou purposely gives her... well, we'll just quote it:
-->'''Satou:''' There was a robust snake that dived into the sea, then, stabbed an apple with a broadsword, and shot it with a large, black imposing gun.
* On top of the usual StudioGainax {{mind screw}}ing, ''{{FLCL}}'' has more sexual symbolism and DoubleEntendre than you can shake a suspiciously phallic baseball bat at. At times, it's like WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic with sexual symbols instead of religious ones.
** Like the moment in episode 5 where a conspicuously phallic... gun hammer, forms in the back of Naota's head. Now, what makes this Freudian is the fact that there's a (nearly) naked Haruko on top of him, close enough for the little phallic... hammer in the back of his head to bring their lips together... [[OedipusRex in front of his father]]. Yeah, you decide.
* Continuing in the vein of Gainax and symbolism, ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' has [[ThisIsADrill drills]]. Epic, manly drills that will [[strike:penetrate]] pierce the heavens. Made the jump from subtext to text in the fight with Lord Genome, where he remarks that "your Spiral Energy is bigger than mine". Spiral Energy. [[FalseReassurance Right]].
** Well, we knew Simon was packin' from the HotSpringsEpisode. He needed his whole damn drilling tool to hide his package.
** In the manga, Kamina actually looks at it and comments [[HoYay "Drill Simon!"]]. Also, manga Leeron {{Lampshade}}s the drills' [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic symbolism]] by telling a frozen, blushing Simon "You thrust it in! How manly!".
** Anime Leeron does the same thing. "Just stick it in! Give it a big, manly twist!" Also, in one episode where Dai-Gurren is sinking, Simon pushes it back out of the water... by pushing it with his drill. Cut to Leeron inside the Dai-Gurren, who feels the impact in his ass.
** And not just drills. [[DarkActionGirl Adiane]]'s Gunmen talked through its crotch and had eyes right about where its nipples would be. Her Gunmen's teeth (used as cockpit displays) are also rotated 90 degrees from the usual orientation. And there was a scene where the Dai-Gurren (which is ''[[VisualInnuendo really, really]]'' [[GagPenis phallic]]) gets torpedo'd in the bridge... cut to the male crew members wincing.
** There's also the (definitely NSFW) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyjRlzZnGf0 fifth "Parallel Works" video]] [[spoiler:which is just a very weird dream of Gimmy's]].
* Done on purpose in ''{{Gintama}}'' with the "Neo-Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon" (It has a high quality finish).
* ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'', in spades. As if that wasn't enough, the [[TVTropesDrinkingGame egregious]] sexual symbolism is almost overshadowed by the ''even more'' [[TVTropesDrinkingGame egregious]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic religious symbolism]]. For example...
** Shamshel, the fourth angel, is suspiciously phallic-shaped. Ramiel, the fifth, penetrates NERV with a giant drill. Arael, the fifteenth, [[MindRape "rapes" Asuka's mind]]. Armisael, the sixteenth, literally physically penetrates Rei and her Eva while Rei arches her back and makes the sort of cute squeaky vocalizations than one might expect Rei to make during sex (if one were to spend time speculating about such things).
** NERV HQ itself is built around a central shaft that Angels are always trying to penetrate.
** Entry plugs might be phallic, but are inserted into the upper backs of the Evas; not many people have vaginas on their upper backs, so draw your own conclusions.
** Don't even get started on the mother thing. The souls in the Evas, Misato's relationship with Shinji, Ritsuko going after the same man that... look, just ''don't even get fucking started''.
** This quote, whether it actually be from the series or from some troper (but summarizing the events of ''End of Eva''), really shows how right Freud was...
---> [[spoiler: "Let me see if I've got this right: my mother's underage clone has gone into space to retrieve a giant two-pronged spear, and I have to impale her with it to save the world?"]]
* The Elric brothers in ''FullmetalAlchemist'' love their mommy waaaay too much. This subtext is so obvious that the third episode of ''Full Metal Alchemist the Abridged Series'' is appropriately dubbed ''[[http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=s_VsWYrW43M Motherf*cker]]''. In the anime, Al even develops a crush on Psyren precisely because she reminds him of his mother (and let's not even talk of the scene near the end of the anime where [[spoiler:Sloth]] practically seduces him). In the anime, [[spoiler:Wrath even ''fuses'' with his substitute mom]] and is [[spoiler:welcomed to the Gate by Loving Naked Izumi]] in the movie. Ed, Selim, and the Tringham brothers have [[{{OedipusRex}} daddy issues]] and so do [[spoiler:Greed]] in the manga and [[spoiler:Envy]] in the anime. And most of the homunculi have strange mommy or daddy issues in the anime and adore almost masochistically their terrifying father/God figure in the manga. Add some ReplacementGoldfish syndrome and {{Evil Counterpart}}s and stir.
** And let's not forget that in a healthy (??) display of Oedipal neurosis, [[spoiler:evil stepmom Dante]] in the anime explicitly tries to trick Ed into sleeping with her because [[spoiler:Hohenheim wouldn't]]. But this is nothing compared to how creeped ''Edward'' would've felt.
** Roy's repeated freezing when Riza Hawkeye tells him that he's "useless by rainy weather" is bound to make us think that this statement is actually not about his alchemy skills. The Japanese word used in this context, "munou" (with "mu" meaning "nothingness", as in TheNothingAfterDeath) also means [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean incompetent or inefficiency]] -- "impotent."
*** [[ShipTease One would wonder how she knows this, in that case.]]
* In ''[[DotHackSign .hack//SIGN]]'', Tsukasa, a player of a virtual reality [=MMORPG=] gets trapped in the game and is given amnesia. He is also given "the Guardian"; a giant pair of floating yellow balls that stab other players with tentacles. Shortly after Tsukasa rebels against the Guardian and it is destroyed, he regains his memory and realizes that [[spoiler:in the real world, "he" is really a girl.]]
* [[spoiler:Vash the Stampede]] in ''{{Trigun}}'' worships his adopted mother too much, which is particularly [[{{Squick}} disturbing]] in the light of his [[spoiler:hallucinations about her in the anime]] and apparent lack of 'adult' sexuality.
** To be fair, though, he's perfectly normal compared to Knives, who seems more interested in going after [[spoiler:[[{{Twincest}} his own twin]]]] and is into slicing people (with ''giant blades'', no less... ahem). Also note that he [[spoiler:absolutely hates Rem]] and thus doesn't share in the 'ordinary' Oedipal schema of the manga (we might even wonder if, in Nightow's logic, it doesn't explain why he's so batshit insane).
*** The end of the first ''{{Trigun}}'' manga dares you to see Knives 'rebirth' scene and ''not'' [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything to think of anything involving gynaecology or rape]]. It actually seems to involve DeathByChildbirth. Then [[ItGotWorse it gets worse]] when [[spoiler:Knives grabs Vash and forces him to deploy his Angel Arm]]. ''[[{{Squick}} While standing nude behind him and obviously enjoying his pain very, very much]]'' -- which, by the way, isn't the only time he goes [[FullFrontalAssault full frontal]]. It's even more [[NightmareFuel disturbing]] when you know that [[spoiler:men who get raped anally by other men get an erection]]. And that it's [[spoiler:his effing twin brother]], of course.
*** Let's not forget the overtones of sexual rivalry that his feud with Vash tends to take, especially when [[spoiler:Dr. Conrad]] teaches him that "Vash's gate is larger than [his]". His face is priceless when he [[spoiler:nearly gets overpowered by the "size" of said "gate"]] and, much later, when Vash calls him "a wimp with a bulldozer" once he [[spoiler:has fused with thousands of plants, which makes him without a normal lower body but also a guy "fused" with thousands of girls. Who are all his "sisters"...]] Also, note that Knives's "power" tends to disturb everyone in the area (notably Wolfwood). For the sake of the argument, let's just say that pretty much everything Knives does and thinks has a Freudian subtext.
*** Oh yeah, in the anime, [[spoiler:as a one-year-old boy/the rough equivalent of a twelve-year-old human boy, he induced in one of the crew women an illusion that she was being raped by one of her fellow crew members]].
*** There's also the fact that [[PsychoSupporter Legato seems very obsessed with him]]. And [[spoiler:got raped by a {{Gonk}} when he was a teenager]]. And [[{{FoeYay}} is so jealous of Vash (or rather, of Knives's twisted love for Vash) and obsessed with killing him that Vash is the only one who manages to break his composure]]. {{Ho Yay}}yyyy! Also, don't put Elendira's explicit love for Knives in the hands of a Freudian, they hate {{Transsexual}}s and might develop crazy theories involving "psychosexual inversion", fetishism and Elendira's mom (or lack thereof).
** In the manga, [[spoiler:Nicholas D. Wolfwood]] sounds creepy when he has an imaginary conversation with [[spoiler:Auntie Melanie]] about [[spoiler:what an amazing guy Vash is]]. Also fits into {{HoYay}}, oddly enough. Also, he has obvious [[OedipusRex daddy issues]] too, both in the anime and in the manga.
*** Speaking of Vash and Wolfwood, the amount of disproportionately huge weapons in the show is truly mind-boggling. And let's not even get into the details of [[HoYay the relationship between our two favourite, erh, gunmen]].
* The whole deal with the Humpty Lock and the Dumpty Key in ''ShugoChara''. One time during the series, he attempts to put his Key in her Lock. While doing so, Ikuto hilariously comments: "[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar It looks tight, would it fit?]]"
* In ''ZettaiKarenChildren'', when The Children are singing at a karaoke bar, the Chief's camera lens zooms in and out in a very suggestive way. Definite {{lolicon}} subtext there.
* In a scene in the ''AhMyGoddess'' manga, a dimensional door vaguely shaped like a malicious girl falls in love with Keiichi and accepts to open herself... provided ''he'' is the one who puts the key into her keyhole. Yeah, that's subtlety for you. The subtext becomes explicit when he slowly inserts the key into her, she moans, and Belldandy very nearly goes into [[BewareTheNiceOnes a destructive fit of jealousy]].
* ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena''. Phallic symbols abound, from swords to the tower, and Akio makes it pretty obvious we're not just imagining it.
** Not to mention that the activity in which the series mainly concentrates is people sticking ''swords'' in ''roses'' on their opponents' lapels. Can you say "deflowering"? And then there's that time Shiori ''polished'' Ruka's sword, or the one when [[spoiler:Akio]] ''breaks'' his sword (ouch)...
* Studio Ghibli's ''TalesFromEarthsea'' had some of the most laughable FreudWasRight moments ever seen in anime --which makes sense, given the main character manages to [[OedipusRex kill his dad]] in the first few minutes of the movie. [[spoiler:Arren's shadow]] gives the sword to Therru and rubs it very suggestively while it is in her arms. Therru [[spoiler:gives Arren his sword and his 'manliness' by the same token]]. Therru looks moved to tears when [[spoiler:Arren draws his 'sword of light' before her for the first time]]. Sword of light... ''right''.
* [[{{Digimon}} Mimi's giant cactus mirage.]] Then, later that same episode, a ''real'' giant cactus gives her her Crest. Are we sure she's only 10?
** Yes, I know that the real cactus opening up to give her the crest is supposed to evoke the beginning of Togemon's Digivolution sequence to Lillymon, but Togemon was never ''that'' big.
*** Not that it should matter with that Digivolution. Anyone else see "Poison Ivy" as a plant-based NaughtyTentacles? Then, of course, there's the FetishFuel factor of the Ultimate [[spoiler:and Mega]] form...
** ''{{Digimon}}'' is full of those moments. Girls always squee in awe when they are attacked by anything with... "[[NaughtyTentacles vines]]".
* The character William Will Wo in ''GunXSword'' is one gigantic walking Oedipus complex. He spends most of the episodes that center on him walking around his family's mansion in nothing but a sheet held over his naughty bits wailing about his mother, [[spoiler:whom he killed accidentally while trying to kill his father as a child]]. At one point, as he's thinking about her, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything his collapsable sword (which he is holding over his crotch) extends]]. [[spoiler:When Van finally gets over his HeroicBSOD and kills him, it's a relief.]]
* Do I even have to start with ''{{Gundam}}''? Let's just throw in some examples...
** Wing Zero's {{BFG}}
** Gundam Exia's and later, Gundam 00's {{BFS}}
** ZZ's {{BFG}}
** Shining Gundam's {{BFS}}
** The [[GundamSEED Strike]]'s Launcher Striker equipment pack. Just tell me what the {{BFG}} looks like when it's being aimed.
** Also, the Cybernewtypes of UC were pretty much {{Mind Rape}}d into submission. And Zeta's Scirocco wasn't just 'nice' to all the girls he talked into working for him. Amd Dorothy's admiration towards Relena is not even a little sexual. Or Treize attitude towards Milliardo and Wu Fei. Or the Tallgeese (GWING TAS is right). Let's don't even start with Domon's admiration towards Master Asia (canon's wrong anyway) or Tieria's attitude towards [[StupidSexyFlanders stupid, sexy Lockon]]. (Yeah, not much of an order here but Gundam's just so full of them I can't get them organized by any means not even talking about them being close to complete).
** Let's not forget the most obvious example. In ''GundamWing'', Duo, in his Gundam, heads on down in the ocean to Wing Gundam. How does he shut off Wing's self destruct mechanism? By switching his scythe to a more phallic shape and sticking it into Wing's ass, that's how.
* This poster once read a line by line analysis of the ''LuckyStar'' opening song which concluded that it was all about the main girls losing their virginity. He's never been able to listen to said song in the same way again.
** And let's not even get started on [[LesYay Konata and Kagami's "friendship." Or Yuutaka and Minami's.]]
* If you thought all the drills in ''GurrenLagann'' were suspicious, you should watch the also Hiroyuki Imaishi-directed work ''DeadLeaves'', where a dude has a similar looking giant drill ''[[GagPenis for a penis]]''!
* [[MoralGuardians One guy]] tried to prove that ''[[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]]'' should be banned because he ranted about Jigglypuff being the ''Pokémon'' representation of breasts. Oh, yeah, he tried to prove that there was an [[PantyShot upskirt]] shot and that it should be banned. The scene is ''so fast'', he could only have noticed it if he was looking for it.
** "Maximum hardness, Metapod!" Oh come on, do I really have to spell it out for you? "Metapod, harden like his." "maximum hardness, Metapod!" They aren't having a battle, folks, they are having a masturbation race. The ending proves it, they both fall backwards in defeat when interrupted. Another weird battle later, Swellow, glowing gold, using Quick Attack, piercing right through a Light Screen.
*** That may have been less a subtext in Pokemon and more the translators trying to screw with you, which the translators have been known to do.
* Freud would have a field day with [[JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]]. His very reason for being evil stems from his daddy issues. Later on in Part 1, he literally wants his adoptive brother's body in order to "live gorgeously forever". The creepy obsessions many of his servants have with him in Part 3 (extending well beyond his mind control over some of them). And let's not get started on the creepy subtext in Enrico Pucci's flashbacks.
** "Do you believe in ''gravity'', Enrico?"
** And let's not forget Gyro Zeppeli, who literally fights with a pair of balls.
*** [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/chaospaladin4/JJBA/Balls.jpg Joseph]] did it a few times, too.
* One name: [[YuGiOh Zorc Necrophades]]. Really, that dragon head on his crotch has to be the most phallic-resembling thing in existence and how the hell did it get past the radar is what I'll never know.
** [[YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries "Oh, that's just my willy."]]
* Both subverted and played straight in ''HanaYoriDango''. Akira is a CakeEater because his mother's extreme childishness has turned him off of younger women, but one of the initial things that attracts Tsukasa to Tsukushi is that [[BrotherSisterIncest she reminds him of his older sister]].
* ''SoraWoKakeruShoujo'''s Leopard, a living space colony, needs a pair of golden orbs (and in Japanese, golden balls also means "testicles") so that he can successfully fire his WaveMotionGun. In the first episode, he tells Akiha, his new lady friend, to use his "golden gun". Oh yes.
** And in the third episode he looks decidedly... ''pleased'' after she does. There's really no mistaking that one.
* ''Venus Versus Virus'''s [[TheBerserker Sumire]] is "attracted" to [[ElegantGothicLolita Lucia]]'s [[TheyHaveTheScent scent]] while in her [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Berserker]] mode. Of course,we know the real reason to this, but still, the manga/[[AdaptationDecay anime]] ''is'' [[http://gomanga.com/news/features_vvv_01.php yuri]], [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship subtext only]] but still yuri.
** Her dialogue and reactions during her trial to overcome her superpowered Berseker side in Volume 2 of the manga counts.
** Lucia dislikes Sumire's boyfriend. '''[[ClingyJealousGirl A LOT]]'''. [[spoiler:So much that she [[MurderTheHypotenuse kills]] him with a giant log object to "[[PsychoLesbian protect]]" Sumire. Of course, she does that due to the fact he is [[TheHeartless a]] [[TheVirus virus]].]]
* Lelouch from ''CodeGeass''. He ''hates'' his father, has ridiculously saint-like memories of his mother, and the only women in all of his UnwantedHarem that he openly admits his love for were both his [[BrotherSisterIncest sisters]].
** And in the GrandFinale [[spoiler:Lelouch is impaled on the long, thin sword of Suzaku, with whom he has been the subject of ''much'' HoYay[=/=]FoeYay. Which he ''asks'' Suzaku to do to him (admittedly for the purpose of killing him).]] This has been {{Lampshaded}} by fans.
* In ''KatekyoHitmanReborn'', Tsuna is attracted to and has a crush on [[ExtremeDoormat Kyoko]], despite hardly even talking to her or knowing her. But there's one thing that stands out as being extremely suspicious: [[http://www.onemanga.com/Katekyo_Hitman_Reborn/123/15/ she looks]] ''exactly'' [[http://www.onemanga.com/Katekyo_Hitman_Reborn/123/12/ like his mother]]. Of course, if you start analyzing and looking deeper into the ArtEvolution where they both start looking exactly like ''[[http://www.onemanga.com/Katekyo_Hitman_Reborn/237/15/ each other]]'', the possible explanations can be rather [[{{Selfcest}} disturbing]]...
** It also seems to be the fact that their eyes are nowadays drawn exactly the same... Now why would the [[MostFanFicWritersAreGirls mangaka]] do [[LampshadeHanging that]]?
* Halibel's [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/bleach/en/images/1/1f/Halibeltiburon.png release form]] in ''{{Bleach}}''. Considering that it looks like a giant vagina, it could have been avoided had her [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean sword]] been held another way.
* ''FullMetalPanic''. Season 1's showdown between Gauron and Sousuke. Gauron's sudden grappling of Sousuke's mecha starts looking ''suspiciously'' like he's raping him and they're having [[FoeYay hatesex]]. And please don't say that the thick white liquid that starts dripping down on Gauron while he's grinning doesn't represent anything at all. If one were to look deeper into it, in the novels, a very probable explanation is that [[spoiler:Gauron was subliminally (or maybe not so subliminally) enacting out exactly what he wanted to do - fucking Sousuke up the ass. Only, he was in his mecha while he was doing it]].
* Why isn't ''GunsmithCats'' on this list? Or is it that two rather affectionate females working together in a male-dominated enterprise with a gun shop as a front is just too blatant?
** Oh, the kicker here is while Minnie-May has Ken, Rally might have Bean (it's complicated...). Paraphrasing Minnie, Rally compensates "... with those big 'ol guns..."
** A rather blatant example: in the manga, Goldie drugs Rally with a halllucination-inducing drug. Her first halllucination? A xenomorph-looking monster popping out the hammer of her gun...
* ''MahouSenseiNegima'' has [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/c025/15.html this]]. Talk about your VisualInnuendo...
** Ahem..."winding". Because it would be too blatant if they referred to it as "screwing".
* ''AlienNine'' is essentially made of sexual metaphor. [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel Very disturbing sexual metaphor]].
* ''TheMelancholyOfHaruhiSuzumiya VI'' invokes this in the second half (even [[ShownTheirWork showing their work]] to set it up). Once Kyon realizes he's been dreaming about Haruhi, his almost immediate reaction is that "Sigmund Freud must be laughing at me!".
* ''{{Hellsing}}''. Vampirism as a substitute for sex is at the very least OlderThanRadio, but Alucard takes to a new level entirely. Manages to achieve BeyondTheImpossible status in his "fight" with Rip Van Winkle, which was probably the closest thing to rape without involving genitalia in all fiction.
* In ''{{Naruto}}'', [[spoiler:the true form of Kisame's [[EmpathicWeapon sword Samehada]]]] manages to be both phallic (the shape of most of it, grows in size when excited, which is described as a "way to show happiness") and a case of VaginaDentata (at the end of it) at the same time. Then [[spoiler:Killer Bee]] rams a hole through it with his horns.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Comics]]
* During the much reviled ''One More Day'' story arc in ''SpiderMan'', many fans claimed that Peter Parker must have an Oedipus Complex to choose Aunt May over Mary Jane. Keep in mind, Peter is not choosing to ''date'' Aunt May over M.J, he's choosing to save her life rather than stay married.
* Pretty much any death involving a female character getting run through by a male character with some type of long, sharp weapon, it will usually end up going right through her body, for added effect, of course. Elektra and Phantom Lady both suffered this one.
* [[ZigzaggingTrope Something like this]] happens in ''Comicbook/CanonFodder''. Fodder, Deacon Blue, and Sigmund Freud go through a portal into the dark matter universe, which is shaped by human psyches. They see a whole lot of statues of Greek gods and mythological figures, and Freud is aghast - because this means ''Jung'' was right all along!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Film]]
* The ''Tremors'' series is basically all about this trope -- giant phallic-shaped monsters that burst out at people, wiggling long slimy muscular tongues that are constantly creeping towards their victims.
** This was actually worse in preproduction, according to the DVD featurette. At one time the graboids were supposed to extrude sticky white innards to capture people, but apparently the producers (and their giggling officemates) thought it was too blatant.
* In the MadeForTVMovie, ''{{Highlander}}: The Source'', it's revealed that "ThereCanBeOnlyOne" ''really'' means that [[spoiler:only one Immortal can have a child, so all the running around cutting people's heads off really is overcompensating for their self-perceived lack of sexual potency.]] I wish I could say this came out of nowhere, but the movies and TV series have mentioned this occasionally. Still, it's enough for many fans to drop it down the DisContinuity hole.
* ''Film/{{Alien}}''. Even besides the alleged [[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong male rape allegories]] or the [[DeathByChildbirth grotesque perversion of childbirth]], [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory according to some Film Studies scholars]], it's all about a homicidal penis-headed monster chasing a strong, independent woman through the womblike tunnels of a spacecraft controlled by a computer called MU-TH-R. Clearly, FreudWasRight. And H.R. Giger was [[MadArtist mental]].
** Gee, ya think? Just go to any website that hosts the man's artwork...
** Incidentally, the same [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory critiques]] also said that the sequel, ''Film/{{Alien}}s'', was about the VietnamWar and the strength of [[MamaBear mothers defending their children]].
** A late scene in the first movie has the Alien's tail sliding up a woman's leg, to the sound of her moaning and crying in terror. WordOfGod in the audio commentary is this was actually intended to be perceived as the Alien raping her.
*** Which makes sense, as, being the only only other female character, Lambert serves as a {{foil}} to Ripley. Ripley is the [[ActionGirl strong female character]] who can stand up to domination, by males or by symbolic monsters. Lambert, on the other hand, has done nothing but [[ScreamingWoman scream]] and [[TheChick dither inefficently]] for the entire movie. Too bad about her fate, though.
** Apparently the monster was taken from his ''chronic night terrors'', which also inspired HPLovecraft.
** One should also mention that Giger's original design for the alien was to include a grotesquely overlarge penis: he was talked out of it. Fortunately.
** Also, the original design for the alien egg -- from which hatches the ultimate VaginaDentata, facehuggers -- had a single slit in the top, but it was changed because it was just. Too. Fucking. Obvious.
** Taking the VaginaDentata one step further -- [[http://www.starstore.com/acatalog/Face-Hugger-Extreme-Head-Knocker.jpg notice anything about the facehugger's belly?]]
** Don't forget [[http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/images/alien02.jpg the pose]] of the alien pilot in whose ship the eggs were found.
* In Jiri Menzel's adaptation of ''Closely Watched Trains'', the dispatcher invites women over to the station house to have sex with them on the station-master's couch. Menzel has a nice suggestive shot of the ripped oilcloth of the couch with its filling coming out that looks remarkably like an unshaved vagina.
** Don't forget the scene where the main character talks to a woman who's stroking a chicken.
** Trains, of course, are phallic symbols (just imagine one going into a tunnel).
* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in TheMovie ''StarTrek: First Contact'': Data and Picard are musing about the repurposed nuclear missile that later becomes the first Warp-capable Earth vessel, and stroke it in awe-- whereupon Troi throws out, "Would you three like to be alone?"
* ''{{Ghostbusters}}''. "I am the gatekeeper." "I am the keymaster." Yup, nothing symbolic there.
** Goo goo g'joob.
* In the ending of ''NorthByNorthwest'', there is a love scene aboard a train, and the very last shot shows the train entering a tunnel. Alfred Hitchcock actually once said that this was a phallic symbol.
** Good old Alfred did this a lot. Just watch ''Strangers on a Train.'' You gotta be sneaky to get around those censorship laws!
* Played for humor in ''{{Shrek}}''; when they first see Farquaad's castle, Shrek slyly asks Donkey, "Do you think he's CompensatingForSomething?" Sure, Farquaad is TheNapoleon, but Shrek didn't know it at that moment so it's more of a ParentalBonus than anything else.
-->'''Donkey:''' ... Which I think means he has a really small--''(Shrek stomps on his hoof)''
* A lot of critics have pointed out that an alien character's head in the animated kids' movie ''Space Chimps'' looks a lot like a boob.
* There are several IMDB posts speculating that Maxwell "Wizard" Wallace, the [[OliverTwist Fagin-type]] character from ''AugustRush'', was a pedophile.
* In case the ''{{X-Men}}'' movies didn't have enough issues, has anyone looked carefully at Xavier's platform in the "big round room"?
* ''{{Idiocracy}}'' {{lampshade}}s this by having weaponized monster trucks blatantly phallic in design. To punctuate it, Joe's small truck has a rubber, flaccid penis attatched to the hood.
* Parodied in ''[[BillandTedsExcellentAdventure Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure]]''. During the scene at the mall, Freud himself is seen holding a corndog. As he meets young (hot) women, it rises, but when he gets shot down, it flops over in his hand.....
* Beautifully parodied in ''{{Pirates of the Caribbean}}: At World's End'', when Captain Barbossa in full, picture-perfect "captain of the ship" pose extends a telescope. Jack Sparrow imitates him and then shamefully slinks away when his telescope turns out to be noticably smaller. About half an hour later the scene repeats, only this time Jack managed to come up with a telescope of almost a yard in length.
** And again sort of, later in the movie. During Jack and Davy Jones' sword-fight, Jack's sword breaks without him notices, resulting in Davy Jones brandishing his sword at Jack, while smiling, who then tries to threaten him with his broken sword, now a quarter its original length.
* ''The Descent'': Chicks with picks probing tight, wet tunnels.
* [[StarWars Death Star trench run]]. And the obvious [[LukeIAmYourFather Oedipal implications]].
** [[MemeticMutation But his mother is DEEAAAAAAAAAAAD]].
* Lampshaded in ''Naked Gun 2˝: The Smell of Fear''. When the main characters start doing the horizontal lambada, they cut away to scenes of girders being raised, trains going into tunnels, hot dogs getting placed in hot dog buns, rocket launches, and eventually a Roman fountain.
* ''DrStrangelove'' is full of these, including various characters names (such as...well, Strangelove), Kong [[spoiler: riding a bomb when they drop it]] and the way the plane in the very first scene is being fueled.
* Kia decides to invoke this on Freddy during ''{{Freddy vs Jason}}'', comparing his tiny knives to Jason's great big machete. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, she wasn't paying attention and promptly meets said machete.]]
* Flat out lampshaded in the film ''Titanic'':
-->'''Molly Brown:''' Hey, uh, who thought of the name "Titanic"? Was it you, Bruce?
-->'''J. Bruce Ismay:''' Yes, actually. I wanted to convey sheer size; and size means stability, luxury and, above all, strength.
-->'''Rose De Witt Bukater:''' Do you know of Dr. Freud, Mr Ismay? His ideas about the male preoccupation with size might be of particular interest to you.

* Large swathes of the works of D.H. Lawrence. Hell, he wrote a short story where a rocking horse has Freudian overtones. His novel Sons and Lovers is pretty much a treatise on the Oedipus complex, and there's a very, very sexual nude wrestling scene in ''Women in Love.''
* Parodied in Sharon Creech's YoungAdult novel ''Walk Two Moons''. A teacher reads a student submission complaining about the endless {{subtext}} analysis of poetry in school, and concludes TheLongList with "Maybe the forest doesn't represent sex. Maybe the forest is just a forest."
* The [[SoBadItsHorrible otherwise awful]] {{high fantasy}} ''Kingdoms of Light'' by AlanDeanFoster deserves special mention for a truly brilliant [[LampShade lampshading]]. Each main character has a different magical power, and the self-consciously macho [[TheRival Rival]] can make his sword double in length. The first time he uses it in combat, the ShallowLoveInterest thanks him for saving the group, and he responds that he's always happy to extend his sword for her.
* In Golding's ''LordOfTheFlies'', the scene in which Jack and Roger kill the pig is written exactly like a rape scene, complete with very phallic descriptions of the boys' spears.
* Brian Jacques' ''{{Redwall}}'' fits this trope perfectly. {{The hero}} of the first book is a thirteen-year-old mouseboy, who is told in cryptic messages and the odd bizarre dream sequence, including one involving a really big snake and a rose bearing swords instead of thorns, to go hunting for a very famous Sword (with a capital S). When he has it and has finished using it to defeat the villain, his [[MentorOccupationalHazard dying mentor]] gives him permission to marry the girl he's been chasing for most of the book. The villains are all [[CompensatingForSomething insanely jealous of this Sword and spend half their time trying to steal it]]. At one point in the prequel ''Mossflower'', the female BigBad Tsarmina breaks the sword and locks up its owner in a very obvious case of castration symbolism. If one wants to read it this way, Cluny's recurring nightmare about being chased by the Abbey Warrior and stabbed to death takes on [[FoeYay a whole new and deeply disturbing meaning]].
** If we're going to go this route with the weaponry, Russa Nodrey's song about "me liddle stick o' wood" could be read as involving gender-confusion issues.
** Oh, and a couple of people have claimed that Slagar the Cruel comes across as a paedophile, particularly in the Nelvana cartoon. He had perfectly good reasons for choosing child captives (they last longer, they can't fight back as well, and in the case of the Abbey kids it was "revenge" on their parents), but ... [[VillainousCrossdresser And then there's Ublaz's pink pearl fixation.]]
** In ''Doomwyte'', a very large blind snake gets trapped in a cave.
** As Russa Nodrey and Tammo are journeying to Redwall, the first words out of her mouth before they leave are "I hope my pancakes aren't getting squished in there." SoYeah...
* The Spenser novel ''Crimson Joy'' by Robert B. Parker (which draws its name from William Blake's poem) features a man who kills black women in a particularly "symbolic" way and leaves a red rose at each scene. [[spoiler:His mother's name was Rose Black, and she had molested him.]]
* ''HarryPotter'' is full of this. The second book is called ''{{Harry Potter and the CHAMBER OF SECRETS}}'', for God's sake. Harry travels down a long slimy tube into a mysterious, dangerous chamber in which he finds a giant snake. He uses a big shiny sword to kill this giant snake, thereby saving his friend's sister, [[spoiler:who he later marries]].
** You missed Harry stabbing the open diary with a fang that's squirting venom.
** Also, in the first ''and'' third books, everyone is jealous of Harry's new broomstick. It's so much better than all the others. Everyone congratulates him on it and wants to stroke it. Ron can't wait to ride it. Malfoy is jealous until he gets [[CompensatingForSomething super-brooms for all the Slytherin team]]. Hermione buys Harry a "Broomstick polishing kit". In contrast, Ron's wand breaks in two in the second book and won't work properly. He also only gets crappy broomsticks. Prof. Umbridge has an "unusually short" wand, and she punishes Harry, Ron and Fred by locking up their broomsticks. In general, Harry likes anything phallic (towers, brooms, wands) and hates anything resembling a womb or vagina (chambers, tunnels, dungeons, lakes, eggs, baths).
** In ''The Tales of Beedle The Bard'', WordOfGod says that No witch (i.e. woman) has ever been known to claim the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Elder Wand]].
** Not to mention Harry spends his childhood in a closet under the stairs, forced to stay their by his intolerant family. Then, he is rescued and taken to a magical land where everyone is just like him. JK Rowling has denied that ''Harry Potter'' is an allegory for homosexuality -- but come on, he was living IN THE CLOSET. Plus, [[spoiler:Dumbledore's Gay]].
** In ''HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'', the movie, the broomstick allegories are ''visual.'' When the characters are depressed and playing Quidditch badly, they slump over their broomsticks which point downward. When they're confident and playing well, the broomsticks are long, sticking out rather suggestively, and the characters sit mightily upon them.
**The entire game of Quiddich. There are balls, brooms, and hoops. Any proffessional Quidditch player with a grain of intelligence will be able to hit on any witch or wizard with enourmous ease. Come on, they're really asking for it.
*** Done spectacularly in a particular [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/358637/1/Quidditch_Anyone fanfic]]
* Pick a story about [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]]. ''Any'' story. In fact, start with the classic: ''{{Dracula}}'' forces a young woman to drink his blood, after quietly invading her bedroom. And consider the two violent stakings of female [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]].
* In Stevenson's ''{{The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde}}'', Hyde is often interpreted (by ''{{The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen}}'', most notoriously) as a metaphor for Jekyll's repressed homosexuality. Because we all know that "gay" is synonymous with "[[HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster murderous gremlin-thing]]".
** [[BrainBleach You've scarred me for the rest of my life]]
* The ''{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Discworld/EqualRites'' really is full of this stuff. From the magic manifesting itself as "hot dreams", to the wizard reincarnated as an apple tree "innocently" commenting that the heroine likes apples, to the phallic broomstick on the cover. The Annotated Pratchett Guide gives the details [[http://www.lspace.org/books/apf/equal-rites.html here]]. (In a later novel, however, a footnote dismisses the idea that the broomstick is a Freudian symbol as a "[[FreudianSlip phallusy]]".)
** Within the Discworld novels Nanny Ogg has written a recipe book, a book of traditional folk tales, and a book of etiquette and household management. All of them are really about sex (although the third one, which exists in the real world as ''Nanny Ogg's Cookbook'' isn't ''quite'' as much about sex as the first two, since the publishers had to recall them).
--->'''Granny Weatherwax:''' Maids of Honour?\\
'''Nanny Ogg:''' ''Weeelll'', they starts ''out'' as Maids of Honour... but they ends up Tarts.
** Not to mention the first and foremost of ''Discworld'' sexual innuendoes, the wizard's staff. And the various jokes surrounding it, such as the famous Ankh-Morpork song, "A Wizard's Staff has a Knob on the End". (Jokes that the wizards themselves, being mostly old fat academics traditionally not allowed to dally with women, never get. So what, they say, if a wizard is very proud of his staff and gives it a good polish and charges it with mystical energy every day? And the fact that the knobs on the ends of their [usually wooden] staffs grow there by magic, and by mystical resonance take on a shape symbolical of their owner? We really don't know what you laymen find so funny about it.)
** Not to mention that the female witches ride broomsticks, but the wizards seldom ride their staffs (although technically they could get them up in the air...). And it's considered bad taste for a wizard to handle another wizard's staff.
** And Lord Vetinari, Ankh-Morpork's Patrician (and iron bachelor), ''Does Not Have Balls''. In fact, there's even a famous saying about it in Ankh-Morpork. And a humorous song. Ankh-Morpork's citizens take their amusement where they can find it. Only not during state balls because there aren't any. Obviously.
*** Neither do the wizards. They do not have balls. They do have their annual Excuse Me, though.
** ''Discworld/MonstrousRegiment'' and ''socks''. The only moments in Pratchett's masterworks
*** Not really an example of this trope, since there's no ambiguity or innuendo concerning the role of the socks. The socks of ''Monstrous Regiment'' were used by women masquerading as men to make themselves look more convincing; they were explicitly stated as being stand-ins for penises.
* In the novel ''ThingsFallApart'', the staple crop of the igbo village is yams, they're long, cylindrical and the more you have, the more manly you are percieved. You can probably figure out the symbolism here.
* ''TheInheritanceCycle''. Big [[http://eragon-sporkings.wikispaces.com/Brisingr_Four time]].
* ''WarriorCats'' has Jayfeather, and roughly teen-aged male protagonist who is forcibly sworn to a [[CelibateHero life-long vow of celibacy]] and spends a lot of time [[ADateWithRosiePalms playing with a stick]] whenever he feels anxious. Yeah.
** And [[spoiler:Honeyfern]] talking about having kits with [[spoiler:Berrynose]] just before being killed by a ''snake''.
** And ''The Fourth Apprentice'', which features ''beavers'', and a character named ''Woody''. Seriously.
* ''TheDaVinciCode''. If DanBrown sees as many phallic symbols everywhere as his AuthorAvatar Robert Langdon does, he surely has a problem.
* Most likely an accident ([[EpilepticTrees unless Stephenie Meyer is writing the world's biggest]] TrollFic), but the apple on the front of ''Twilight'' is totally a clitoris (the hands are the hood pilled back, the wrists and arms... You get the picture).

[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* Deliciously satirized in a sketch from the first season of ''SaturdayNightLive'' with Laraine Newman as a young Anna Freud (Sigmund's daughter) innocently describing to her father (Dan Aykroyd) a series of dreams she had about him that are fraught with increasingly obvious "Freudian" symbolism and content. Meanwhile, Freud practically goes into seizures as he reacts to the implications he's reading into them; at the end, when she inquires what it all means, he reassures her that "sometimes a banana is just a banana".
* In a similar vein, Wolf's tail in ''TheTenthKingdom.'' The scene in the beanstalk forest, where he practically dares Virginia to touch it, she asks why he keeps it hidden, and especially the positively orgasmic look on his face when she brushes against the fur rather than with it, is extremely Freudian in nature. In a bizarre twist, however, the size of his tail apparently changes due to the time of the month, suggesting a connection to the female menstrual cycle. (Werewolves, after all, are tied to the typically feminine moon...) The fact it is hanging out of his pants following his 'hide-and-seek' in the forest with Virginia near Wendell's castle, and that this lets Tony disapprovingly know what they were up to, doesn't help.
** And leaving aside monthly-transformation-into-a-monster cracks, the connection between menarche and the onset of lycanthropy is explored in a short story called "Boobs" where a schoolgirl deals with bullies picking on her for developing by ''tearing them to shreds'' when she turns into a werewolf. The movie ''GingerSnaps'' covers similar ground.
* The ''DoctorWho'' MadeForTVMovie has the Master take the form of a snake, overtaking the mind of a man by slithering down his gullet, then proceeding to kill the man's wife, (not long after the two had sex, no less), make a naive young man his servant, fire acid semen at an unsuspecting female, and attempt to steal the lives of his [[FoeYay long-time arch-nemesis]] by tying him to a rack (in a crossover with WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic) and forcing him to stare into the gaping hole at the heart of the TARDIS while screaming "I'm alive!" at the top of his lungs. And he does all this clad entirely in black leather. ''Damn''.
** The Master's pretty awesome when it comes to stuff like this. His ''name'', Ainley!Master's Tissue Compression Eliminator being shaped like a dildo (and DVD commentaries rife with mentions of the cast joking about this at the time), and everything about the Simm!Master, ever, TOMTIT and phallic crystals, the HADRON web, [[TheBeard beard jokes]]... really, the Master ''owns'' this trope.
*** On the subject of the Tissue Compression Eliminator, let the record show that the Master invented a device whose sole purpose is to make people smaller. Nope, not CompensatingForSomething at ''all''.
** The actors themselves once noted that, when hiding undercover as a human, the Master had a desire to be chauffered around in very large limousines, whereas the Doctor was happy enough to drive around in his humble little car "Bessie". It was suggested that maybe the Master was compensating for something the Doctor didn't need to...
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vbIZl1lfqU Sonic]] [[http://i34.tinypic.com/4ktu0h.jpg screwdrivers]].
*** Oh god, can I just say the above video is the funniest thing I have ever seen?
** The little rivalry that Captain Jack and the Doctor have about their respective sonic devices in "The Doctor Dances" (Jack's big, flashy sonic blaster versus the Doctor's humble little sonic screwdriver) also seemed to be a little competitive in... ''other'' ways. Amusingly, however, Jack's flashy device is revealed to be completely useless when the 'extra features' end up draining the battery, whilst the Doctor's humble little thing is a bit more... durable.
*** Don't forget that while they had to {{Nerf}} the Doctor's, [[AnythingThatMoves Jack's]] [[DoubleEntendre still works on wood]].
* Faith of ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' describes her dreams seriously, then adds with her tongue (probably) firmly in her cheek, "That, and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel."
** The ''{{Buffy}}'' episode "Doublemeat Palace", already a not-so-satisfactory venture in its own right, became downright ludicrous when the monster of the week was revealed to be... a phallic demon-thing that emerged from the back of an old woman's head and which ate people. And then it shot paralyzing gunk all over Buffy. And then Willow, a lesbian, cut it off with a meat cleaver.
** In a later episode, Willow starts to describe the monster "Well, if I wasn't already a lesbian..."
** The FreudWasRight moment the writers cite is in "Reptile Boy" where frat boys feed teenage girls to their giant snake demon that they worship. It gives them power!
* ''{{Frasier}}'' has an erotic dream about a male co-worker and tries desperately and implausibly to interpret it any way but sexually. Eventually he comes to the conclusion that his subconscious created a dream that defied interpretation just to give him a challenge. The following night Sigmund Freud appears in his sleep to congratulate him for figuring this out. Frasier is pleased until Siggy sprays breath freshener in his mouth and climbs into bed with him, arms held out expectantly.
* On ''{{Wings}}'' Lowell comes to Brian with a baffling dream about riding a train speeding into a tunnel with a cigar in one hand and a snake in the other. When a thoroughly creeped out Brian informs him that it means he is afraid of heights, Lowell agrees saying that that would explain the one about sitting atop the Washington Monument.
* ''MurphyBrown'': Miles spends the episode worrying he is gay after dreaming about shooting out the top of the Washington Monument with a male friend and then frolicing in the reflection pool. Eventually he realizes that sometimes a long, pointy monument is just a long, pointy monument.
** In another episode, Frank mentions to Murphy how he's afraid to touch his [[MidLifeCrisisCar Corvette]] since the therapist he's dating said it was a phallic symbol while Frank was waxing it. [[BrickJoke Later on]], when she's annoyed at Frank, she tells him to "[[IfYouKnowWhatIMean Go wax [his] car!]]"
* {{Lampshaded}} in an episode of ''[[{{MASH}} M*A*S*H]]'', when Hawkeye asks the psychiatrist, Dr. Friedman, what the rationale for gambling is during a poker game. "Sex," he replies, and when pushed on why it's always sex, he responds, "They told me to say that. Sex is why we gamble, sex is why we drink, sex is why we give birth."
** Then he takes $5 from the pot and explains, "That was a house call."
*** Which is even worse considering that Freud classified money as a [[CompensatingForSomething phallic]].
* Queenie in ''{{Blackadder}} II'' is a parody of Queen Elizabeth the First, AKA the Virgin Queen. So it's not too surprising that she has dreams about being a sausage roll or sitting in this ''enormous'' tree...
** The Blackadder writers have a bit of a thing about sausage. See Season 3 and the Dictionary episode.
--->'''Dr. Johnson:''' Sausage? SAUSAGE?! Oh blast your eyes!
*** The joke in that instance was that Johnson, who had just compiled his "complete" dictionary of the English Language, had forgotten to include the word sausage.
*** And Aardvark...
** Or the Scarlet Pimpernel episode.
--->'''Comte de Frou Frou:''' This huge sausage is [[ForeignQueasine very suspicious]].
** Baldrick's obsession with turnips would like to be this but falls flat. This is due, according to Tony Robinson anyway, to Ben Elton thinking turnips were penis-shaped and gleefully writing them in. He was actually thinking of ''parsnips''.
*** On the other hand one could imagine that Baldrick's own appendage might be turnip shaped...
* During the poker game in the "An Echolls Family Christmas" episode of ''VeronicaMars'', Weevil comments on how comfortable Logan looks with a cigar in his mouth. As if they didn't have enough FoeYay already... Logan, for his part, shoots back with a racist remark.
* ''MadanSenkiRyukendo'' has a bizarre example. The town is, in one episode, forced into worshiping a UFO {{cult}} whose leader takes the form of a little girl who puts collars around people's necks. Then it gets freakier when her [[MonsterOfTheWeek true form]] resembles, by all means, a giant golden phallus.
* In ''HowIMetYourMother'', a famous architect in Ted's firm (who also happens to be his boss) designs a building consisting of a tower of pink marble with rounded top, with two domes at the bottom.
** Not to mention he asks Ted to make sure there are a lot of trees and vegetation around the base. Specifically, brown and ''leafy'' trees. He apparently had no idea what it looked like.
* Second season finale of ''TheSarahConnorChronicles''. John, after being told that he needs to "understand this body", is lying on top of a shirtless Cameron, their faces centimetres apart while he's panting and exploring the inside of her with his hand. He is, of course, checking her power supply for leaks.
* One episode of ''TopGear'' featured a discussion on the relationship between the flashness of one's car and the size of it's engine and the "endowment" of its owner. When called out on the fact that he himself had a Mercedes SL Black (huge engine, swollen wheel-arches, the lot) Jeremy Clarkson simply countered by pointing out that Richard Hammond dives a Ford Mustang, causing an extremely abrupt insistence that the subject be changed.

[[folder:Music]]
* Just look at the list of examples on the IntercourseWithYou page.
* Is it just me or does the second verse of the Kool & The Gang song "Jungle Boogie" sound suspiciously like the bass singer is masturbating? (Note all the grunting and the sudden wail at the end.)
* In PinkFloyd's ''TheWall'', most of the female symbols are depicted as twisted, horrific, carnivorous or a [[NightmareFuel combination of all three]]. This is due to the main character Pink having a warped view of women and sexuality in general.
** Also, he has a scary possessive mom, a father complex due to [[{{DisappearedDad}} his father's death]], he's turning schizo and [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic THE DEAD RAT REPRESENTS HIM!]]
* The lyrics to the theme tune of ''Denver The Last Dinosaur''. [[HoYay "He's my friend and a whole lot more / ... Showed me a world I never saw before / ... Everywhere we go, / We don't really care / If people stop and stare ... "]].
** Similarly, the kids' show ''Big Wolf on Campus'' theme tune included the following ...Do you think/ It's just a phase I'm going through?...
* Christine's increasingly high cadenza at the end of ''[[ThePhantomOfTheOpera Phantom of the Opera's]]'' title song sounds suspiciously...''orgasmic''.
** As does the Phantom's high note during "The Music of the Night" ("Let your soul take you/Where you long to BEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!").
* Listen to "[[{{Disney/Aladdin}} A Whole New World]]" and tell me it isn't about losing one's virginity.
-->"''Over, sideways, and under on a magic carpet ride... A dazzling place I never knew... Indescribable feeling; soaring, tumbling, freewheeling... Don't you dare close your eyes... Hold your breath, it gets better... I can't go back to where I used to be... A thrilling chase, a wondrous place, for you and me.''"
* Adam Duritz of CountingCrows recounted in a [=VH1=] interview how a fan came up to him after a performance to proudly announce that he'd figured out the meaning of "Mr. Jones", their first single. "Mr. Jones is your ''penis''!" That wasn't it, but FreudWasRight about the fan, at least.
** This idea actually constitutes MindRape, not least of which is the implication that the singer character is ''competing'' with his own penis. (Then there's the ICallHimMisterHappy angle, which also hurts).

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''{{Warhammer 40000}}''. Dark Eldar. Sweet merciful crap, Dark Eldar. Their entire society is based around captured slaves (they're even used as currency) and torturing them so they can consume their soul energy... except ''every single thing they say'' makes them appear more like an entire society of [[MemeticMolester serial rapists]] instead, the Haemonculi in particular continually referring to their victims as "playthings". Every single piece of their vehicles, equipment and weapons are incredibly jagged and pointy, with as many blades attached in as many places as possible. As oppossed to their mostly female Craftworld Eldar counterparts their leaders and soldiers are mostly male (the leaders having the largest and pointiest headwear), while their main female units (Wyches) wear about three scraps of clothing and prefer to [[WhipItGood fight with whips]] that cause extreme pain with even a single touch (Agonisers).
** Every single servant of Slaanesh lives on Freud Was Right and NightmareFetishist. When one of the Renegade Chapters devoted to it call themselves the Violaters and one of the Dark Eldar Cabals is named the Emasculators, it's sort of inevitable. Then there's Lucius the Eternal and his [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean Lash of Torment]]...
** ''Slightly'' less blatant are the [[AmazonBrigade Sisters of Battle]], the all-female militant portion of the resident ChurchMilitant that use equipment (PoweredArmor, bolters etc.) otherwise used exclusively by the all-male Space Marines. Then the [[BeyondTheImpossible usual level]] of [=WH40K=] absurdity appears with the Sisters Repentia, mobs of near-naked penitent young women equipped with [[{{BFS}} two-metre long]] [[ChainsawGood chainswords]] driven into a combat frenzy by their whip-wielding "mistresses".
** Space marines are all men, and they live on space-rocks with other big burly marines. They've got no lives outside of training with each other, eating, sleeping, bathing, and fighting alongside other giant bald supermen. Space marines then go to feral worlds looking for young boys to indoctrine into their chapters. They're like the army, the navy, and the clergy combined.
*** Also, Space Marine [[ShouldersOfDoom pauldrons]]. Seriously, those things are ''huge''. Of course The Emperor, being the bestest human of all time and a paragon of sheer manliness, has the largest pauldrons of all.

[[folder:Theater]]
* Once upon a time, some guy decided to do a production of {{Shakespeare}}'s classic play ''Hamlet'' with some seriously Oedipal subtext thrown in. Through a combination of AdaptationDecay, PopculturalOsmosis, and Mel Gibson, this is [[LostInImitation now frequently considered]] to be the official, canonical "true meaning" of ''Hamlet''. A careful examination of the script will not yield a single quote to support this interpretation. In fact, Hamlet shows more signs of an Electra Complex. Now ''that'' would be an interesting production...

[[folder:Video Games]]
* This is half of what makes the undead enemies of ''{{The Legend of Zelda}}'' -- the {{mummy}} Gibdo and zombie [=ReDead=] -- major sources of NightmareFuel. Their attacks involve paralyzing, grabbing, and biting you, but most people think it looks and most of all ''sounds'' like '''they're raping you. To ''death''.'''
** [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=74 Ewww]].
** In fact, many of the enemies and even the bosses seem to be giant, [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean one-eyed monsters...]]
** [[spoiler: Vaati]] Reborn in ''MinishCap''. It's a narrow cylinder with a head and shoulders at the top (although the shoulders could just be part of the cape), and its one giant leg opens up vertically to reveal a giant eye between the "knees", above the ankle and below the hip-level.
* In ''{{Earthbound}}'', the dialogue of the EldritchAbomination at the end of the game was taken from the writer's traumatic memories of seeing what he thought was a rape scene in a movie as a child.
* It's [[FanWank said]] that Pyramid Head from ''SilentHill 2'' is the living incarnation of James Sunderland's repressed lust, among other emotions. PH is famous for raping the town's monsters and carrying a {{BFS}} so huge that he literally has to drag it behind him (and later an enormous spear). Subtle. The [[WordOfGod official interpretation]] is that he's a [[TheScourgeOfGod supernatural executioner]] out to make James realize that he [[spoiler:{{Mercy Kill}}ed his wife]]. Note that a second one appears after [[spoiler:James kills someone else]].
** The whole game ''Silent Hill 2'' can be seen as James having to face that his own repressed sexuality during his wives illness [[spoiler:was the primary reason why he killed her]].
** For the more explicit sexual elements of the game, the Mannequins are a pair of sexy legs attached to another pair of sexy legs, the Bubble Head Nurses are incredibly busty women in skimpy nurse outfits with [[FanDisservice horribly deformed heads]], the Abstract Daddy/Doorman resembles two figures bent over a table or a bed and attacks by swallowing James' head, the Flesh Lips grab James with a tentacle and pulls him towards its vagina-mouth, and then there's the continual attention paid to holes, several of which James must jump down in order to reach the next area of the game.
** In the third game meanwhile, the Closers have vaginas for faces and penises for arms (out of which a blade extends), the Numb Bodies heavily resemble sperm, the Slurpers knock down the player character and climb on top of her in an act of quasi-rape, the Split Worm is an enourmous penis that burrows through various holes and whose head splits open vertically in a vulgar representation of childbirth, and in the latter part of the game there are pulsating walls and vertical holes ''everywhere'', in particular the enourmous hole that leads to the "birthplace" of the FinalBoss.
** The fourth game has relatively subtle examples regarding Walter and his "mother" (actually the protagonist's apartment). The entrances and exits to Walter's otherworld are long tunnels with a light at the end (more childbirth symbolism), giant worms connect the different sections of the otherworld, umbilical cords connecting him to "mother", and the first step in defeating Walter in the FinalBoss fight is to use the remains of his actual umbilical cord.
** Not to be left out from the party, ''Homecoming'' has its own contributions to this trope: the Lurkers have VaginaDentata for a face, the Needler has its head between its legs, another symbol of childbirth, the Bubble Head Nurses make a reappearance, the Schisms' head is a giant penis split down the middle, Asphyxia is a mass of female bodies fused together to resemble a centipede with arms for legs, several of which are always groping it, and as for the Siam... well, just ''[[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/silent/images/e/e1/Siam_creature.jpg look]]'' at the damn thing. Hilariously, there are ''[[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic absolutely no sexual elements in the game's plot whatsoever]]'', meaning all of this was apparently added for the lulz.
* At least one intepretation of ''{{Portal}}'' brings up the fact you're [[LesYay a woman fighting an alternately caring and lashing female-voiced overmind with a weapon that opens passages through space. Oval passages]]. [[http://www.heroine-sheik.com/2007/10/17/portal-is-for-lesbians/ 'Portal' is for Lesbians]] indeed.
** And let's not forget, she even [[MurderTheHypotenuse arranges the murder]] of [[CompanionCube her *perceived* rival for the player's affection]]. PsychoLesbian in more ways than one.
*** "If you love it so much, why don't you marry it? Well, ''I won't let you!''"
** An invisible lesbian StalkerWithACrush? [[FetishFuel Hmmmm...]]
* According to [[MetalGearSolid Psycho Mantis]], the reason he hates all of humanity is because ''everytime'' he looks into someone's mind, he finds the same "disgusting" desire to reproduce at the heart of their motivation for every single thing they do.
** ''MetalGearSolid'' also has a lot of sexual imagery mixed in with violence, [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory to symbolise how killing arouses Snake more than sex]] (which is canon, if ''MetalGear 2: Solid Snake'' is to be believed). Snake, who is [[EstrogenBrigadeBait hot]], [[SmokingHotSex smokes a cigarette]] after every boss battle. He punches a sadomasochistic zombie ninja to orgasm at one point. He fights the beautiful Sniper Wolf through the sniper scope of a MaleGaze, twice. Metal Gear REX has a penis that shoots lasers. The final battle is a boxing match between him and his sexy twin, both dressed only in very tight trousers with their waxed muscled chests on full display. I could go on but I won't.
*** Speaking of REX, one of his combo attacks [[spoiler:as he fights the slender, almost feminine RAY in ''Metal Gear Solid 4'']] involves [[spoiler:biting the latter's neck and ejaculating onto its torso]]. There's also the ''Shagohod'', which aside from a possible DoubleEntendre name which makes sense when you consider who's [[AnythingThatMoves piloting it]] has an enormous phallic rocket launcher on its back and... well, look how it moves.
** Should I point out that the most horrific scene in the series involves a man, previously named Solid Snake, now known as Old Snake, crawling down a tunnel, having to use all his might to avoid going limp? Or the BB Corp members draining Snake's health when they hug him for no readily apparent reason?
** The whole plot is basically about men named after penises fighting over a fortress named after a clitoris. Solid Snake ("erect penis") destroys Outer Heaven (clitoris); let's point out that his two vague female romantic attachments both ended in him leaving them (in one case without a goodbye) and he ends up in a close relationship with a [[HoYay man]], wanting ''nothing except'' that (and, [[IncrediblyLamePun to boot]], all his outfits throughout the series draw specific attention to his buttocks). Big Boss ("[[BiggusDickus large penis]]") builds Outer Heaven and had a female lover who he saved when she was in trouble and who was dedicated to him until the end of her life (and all his outfits throughout the series draw specific attention to his crotch). The series casts Snake in the right, and Big Boss in the wrong. I really am worried about HideoKojima's marriage.
** Revolver Ocelot could practically WRITE this trope.
*** ''"There's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long, silver bullet into a well-greased chamber"''.
* Koishi Komeji, the BonusBoss in ''[[{{Touhou}} Subterranean Animism]]'', has a whole arsenal of spellcards based off of Freudian concepts... but then you get to "[[http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Subterranean_Animism:_Extra_Stage_Spell_Cards#Spell_Card_172 The Embers of Love]]" and then your brain just sort of shuts down. Seriously, ZUN, phallic heart bullets?
* Many, ''many'' moments in the ''DevilMayCry'' games, not to mention that every weapon and use thereof is some sort of phallic metaphor.
** Vergil's prologue in ''DevilMayCry 3'' provides us the image of Arkham very... suggestively stroking Vergil's sword.
** Two words: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pWvKx1x1pk Lucifer scene]] (does it count if it's obviously intentional?)
** Not to mention that Trish is the spitting image of Dante's mother[[spoiler: although she was created by Mundus that way on purpose.]]
* ''{{Pokemon}}''. Diglett? Cloyster? Palkia? Beedrill in particular had a rather suggestive entrance in the Pokémon Stadium game that involved [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything thrusting its stinger...]]
** Two guys in Sootopolis ask you to bring them big Barboach and Shroomish. ''[[http://images.google.com.ph/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=Barboach&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2 Barboach]] and [[http://images.google.com.ph/images?gbv=2&hl=en&safe=off&sa=1&q=shroomish&btnG=Search+images&aq=f&oq= Shroomish]]''.
** There's ''something'' about steel type Gym Leader, Jasmine, from the Generation II games and her choice of Pokemon. Her team consists of nothing more than two Magnemites and a Steelix.[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything 2 steel balls and a giant metal snake.]]
* In the first episode of ''{{Sam and Max}}: Season One'', Sam has a dream and the player can choose what he does in his dream. It is possible to make a hot dog appear in a rat hole. The therapist then says, "A weenie in a rat hole... ''nothing'' symbolic there."
* It's probably cheating considering [[{{Eroge}} the nature of the game]] but ''FateStayNight'' has tons of Freudian undertones. I mean, the entire "stabbing the Holy Grail" thing...
** and don't forget, [[TheDaVinciCode Holy Grail also metaphor of....Virgin mary....]]
* In ''KatamariDamacy'', one of the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters many Royal Cousins]] is Odeko, whose most striking feature is his long head. While most cousins have cute little pill-shaped heads, his extends straight up. He's explicitly very ''proud'' of his height, and is even prone to exaggerating its size. This has been the subject of many, many jokes.
* In ''KingdomHearts II'', there's a heartless comprised of a small body and a golden beak which repeatedly stabs Sora if he doesn't kill them. Think that's bad enough? The name of it is ''Rapid Thruster''.
* Wesker from ''ResidentEvil''... especially the fifth game. Lord, what to say about [[FoeYay him and Chris]]? It gets to the point where, at the final battle, Wesker ends up sweaty, [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]], and growing a bunch of tentacles. He uses these tentacles to grab ahold of Chris (which can only be described as looking like very violent [[NaughtyTentacles tentacle rape]]). And each time he has a hold on Chris, he transforms his other arm into a very phallic tentacle drill that will... impale Chris if he doesn't break free. And all of this while he [[SayMyName screams Chris' name]]. Wesker has issues...
* ''HauntingGround''. The entire game's plot was pretty much about proving that FreudWasRight. Let's see here - so it turns out that Lorenzo [[spoiler:wanted to screw his son and clone, Urgo, because he was his preferred child and contained the Azoth. However, Urgo ended up running away and marrying Ayla, Fiona's mother. Lorenzo ends up harboring a bunch of hate towards Ayla for it. But then he finds Fiona, who inherited the Azoth, so now he wants to screw his granddaughter]]. And then there's Riccardo, who apparently hates Lorenzo, since [[spoiler:he's also Lorenzo's son and clone. Except he didn't have the Azoth, so Lorenzo thinks of him as a useless and troublesome son]]. He also feels competitive towards Lorenzo, and wants to assert his domination and possession over Fiona, who is [[spoiler:his niece]]. Riccardo's goal is to, quite simply, rape and impregnate Fiona so he can have the Azoth. This is made all the worse when one realizes that he's pretty much her [[spoiler:father's ''clone'', meaning that he has the exact same DNA as her father]]. So to put it simply - all of Fiona's [[spoiler:remaining relatives]] want to screw her.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''CodeLyoko'': In the penultimate episode, Jeremie's Cannot-Fail-Kill-XANA-Real-Dead program is visually represented by an army of sperm. You ''really'' have to wonder what goes on in that boys head...
** Some of XANA's monsters fall into this category as well, such as the flying Manta rays that poop mines. And the Scipozoa, with its mighty CombatTentacles. [[NaughtyTentacles Suuuure...]]
* In ''{{Futurama}}'', 31st century Washington D.C. has, right next to the phallic Washington monument, a similar but taller Clinton monument. One episode even had an alien spaceship cutting its tip off with a giant claw.
** Space aliens ''with Yiddish accents'', nonetheless.
* Roxy Rocket from ''BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', an stunt-themed jewel thief whose gimmick is riding a rocket clutched between her legs like a broom... or, ah...
** Or how ''excited'' she got after Batman tackled her that the rocket starts going out of control.
* A literal example, PlayedForLaughs in ''CloneHigh''. Right after Joan's [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible completely incomprehensible]] LeFilmArtistique has finished at the film festival, we see a shot of the auditorium, in complete silence. ''Until'' the boy sitting next to Joan -- a clone of Sigmund Freud himself -- starts singing "Joan loves Abe! Joan loves Abe!"
* Used in ''BromwellHigh'', when Keisha is making a speech about the school. She begins quoting Martin Luther King's speech, and then goes on to say "[[ReallyGetsAround Latrina]] has a dream about a tunnel and a series of bigger and bigger trains! Let's make those dreams come true!"
* In ''InvaderZim'', all Irkens are judged and placed in society based on on their ''height''. So the largest guys are the unquestioned leaders, despite being incompetent, and the main character will never amount to anything because he's "very small...he's a tiny thing." Right.
* [[TropeOverdosed Obligatory]] ''{{Avatar the Last Airbender}}'' example: In the episode where Aang has trouble standing his ground and being an earthbender, Toph steals a bag of [[http://iroh.org/screencaps/ep29/ep29-252.png nuts]] from his satchel, and then uses his [[http://iroh.org/screencaps/ep29/ep29-256.png staff]] to [[http://iroh.org/screencaps/ep29/ep29-257.png crack them]], finally commenting how Aang's staff "isn't the only delicate instrument around here".
* In ''{{Phineas and Ferb}}'', it appears that Dr. Doofenshmirtz was an excellent hand puppeteer, so much so that it impressed a girl. Said girl eventually left him for a guy who was a sucky puppeteer but had huge "fingers". Real subtle, Disney.
* The thousand foot cliff in ''TotalDramaIsland''. The cliff in TDA might be larger.
** An episode of ''TotalDramaAction'' is based off of fairy tales, and one part of the chalange involves the three males getting wooden swords. And Harold, the geek, gets one notably smaller than the rest.
* In ''TheSimpsons'' episode 'That 90's Show', Marge's college professor/boyfriend view on lighthouses.
* [[DuckTales Scrooge]] gives a whole new meaning to the term "MoneyFetish." He has his giant money bin (penis shaped phallic symbol), which is hollow (womb symbol), filled with money (representative phallic symbol). Further, his greatest fears are the destruction of his money bin or the loss of his money (castration fear). His favorite pass time is to swim around in the money bin. His female ArchEnemy is obsessed with stealing his NumberOneDime. He met his first (and presumably only) sexual partner after she stole his first gold nugget. Not to mention he has a rival who constantly competes with him over the "size of their wealth."
* In one ''JusticeLeague'' episode, a [[PlayingWithFire pyromancer]] villain talks of a fellow bad guy's flamethrower-size symbolically. He insists that he makes up for size with skill, only to get quickly beaten and she pats his head sympathetically.
** She immediately emerges from cover and burninates everything in sight. His flamethrower discharges as he declares, "I'm in looooove."
* ''TimeSquad'' meets up with the actual Sigmund Freud, whom they have to convince that psychoanalysis works better than hypnotising people into acting like animals. While there's little sexual subtext, Freud notes that Buck and Larry [[HoYay act like a married couple]] with Otto as their son.
* ''VentureBrothers'' unveiled Jonas, Jr.'s "late 60's ultra death ray"... a gigantic and blatantly phallic engine of destruction. Every man in the room desperately wants to use it.
-->"If that thing were a woman, I'd marry it."\\
"And I'd jeopardize our friendship by nailing your hot wife."
** Following in the footsteps of his father's phallic rock ship, and the DrillTank which Rusty calls "a monument to his repressed sexuality".
* 90% of the humor and 50% of the violence on ''ThePowerpuffGirls'' is disturbingly Freudian. Just try to watch the episodes "Members Only" and "The Boys Are Back in Town" without wanting to take a cold shower. Seriously -- "Whenever their masculinity is threatened, they shrink in size." Apparently, this is what happens when an action series stars little girls.

* The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tallahassee_Capitol_Complex_pr11224.jpg Florida State Capitol Building]] in Tallahassee, Florida, is one immensely tall center building, flanked on both sides by smaller domed wings, giving the entire capitol complex the look of an erect penis and a pair of testicles when seen straight-on (and in order to prevent people from seeing it straight on, strategically placed trees were planted all around its base... giving it green pubic hair, unfortunately). In Florida, the building is often referred to as "Askew's Erection", after the governor who authorized the capital building's construction.
** The film "Manfast", set at the University of Central Florida in Tallahassee, is a sex comedy about a group of college-age women who dare each other to abstain from sex. The film opens with a long helicopter shot over the Florida Capitol Building that emphasizes its phallic nature.
** Geographically, the state of Florida does somewhat resemble a you know what.
*** [[TheSimpsons "Florida? But that's America's wang!" "They prefer the Sunshine State."]]
* Spoof interview on radio with the supposed architect who designed Toronto's CN Tower.
-->"What did you have in mind when you were designing it?" "A big dick!"
** For reference, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CN_Tower this is the CN Tower]]. Why, that hardly looks suggestive at all. Incidentally, it was preceded by about 10 years by the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylon_Tower Skylon Tower]], which is much shorter, but also much closer to the Canada/US border. I'm sure this is all purely coincidence, of course.
* The clock tower in a particular New England town is a bit too [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Willimantic_townhall_tower.gk.jpg suggestive]] to be an accident. It has a ''frenulum'', I tell you!
** And it's called ''Willi''mantic.
* [[http://s3.amazonaws.com/findagrave/photos/2001/258/440_1000655378.jpg John Hancock's Grave]].
** He must have thought his name was too good not to make this joke.
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chords_Bridge This bridge]].
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebraska_State_Capitol The Nebraska State Capitol]]. So blatant it's actually been called "The penis of the plains." [[http://farm1.static.flickr.com/9/13995633_db363f0441.jpg The statue on top]] doesn't help matters at all.
* Take a look at [[http://www.emporis.com/en/il/im/?id=451915 One Mellon Bank Center]] in Pittsburgh. It's the world's largest dildo!
* How about [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:30_St_Mary_Axe,_%27Gherkin%27.JPG 30 St Mary Axe]] in London? Its nicknames include the Erotic Gherkin, the Towering Innuendo and the Crystal Phallus.
* The Washington Monument doesn't look like the guy.
** It looks more like a tribute to [[JeffDunham Bill Clinton]].
* One word: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Scandinavia.TMO2003050.jpg Scandinavia]].
** The two euro coin used to look [[http://euromuenzen.com/eurocoins/2-euro/details/2-euro.jpg like this]]. Newer versions [[http://www.harrimantravelbooks.com/2_Euro_coin.jpg added Norway]] for the sake of ending the penis jokes.
*** Unsuccessful; it looks even more phallic now. ''Doubly'' phallic, actually, as the land part looks like a head-on view of a dick and the water looks like a side view of an erection.
* [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/YpsilantiWaterTower.jpg This particular water tower]] in Ypsilanti, Michigan. It's like the architects were trying as hard (no pun intended) as possible to make it look phallic.
* The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mull_of_Kintyre_test Mull of Kintyre test]] used as an unofficial guideline as to whether a depiction of a penis was acceptable to the British Board of Film Classification or not. Anything that stuck out at a greater angle than this outcropping of land was unfit for release in the UK.
* Obelisks.
** Entirely intentional. In Egyptian mythology Geb and Nut, the earth and the sky respectively, were lovers and were constantly, er, together. Ra was understandably annoyed at this because it prevented anything from living and so commanded Shu, the air, to separate them. Therefore, obelisks were built to represent the earth's constant desire to rejoin the sky. Clearly, we can all learn many things from the Egyptians.
***The earth and the sky, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic coming]] [[IncrediblyLamePun together]]? Indeed.
** In the same vein, Karen Armstrong's book ''A Short History of Myth'' supports the thesis that farming--the union of sky and earth--represented sex and seeds represent semen. This made tenth grade English very fun.
* At the main entrance to Converse College, an all-women's school in Spartanburg, SC, is a monument to the founder, a Mr. Dexter Edgar Converse. You would have to see it to believe it. It is nothing less than the frontal silhouette of a 20' erect penis.
* Go look at an advertisement. Chances are decent you'll be able to find some sexual symbolism, although some are easier than others. Heck, there's an ad on this very site featuring a sword (held by someone offscreen) pointing directly at a woman's ample cleavage. You'd never know it was a fantasy game and not eroge.
** "Five dollar foot longs," indeed.
** And Quizno's ''Toasty Torpedo''. "Put it in me, Scott."
* Nokia. "Connecting People".
* [[http://www.ryu.titech.ac.jp/~ysep/student/ysep2003/present/sydney/images/64c-big.jpg This is what ANZ Stadium in Sydney used to look like.]] The jokes went on for the entire Sydney 2000 Olympics.
* Even God's getting in on the suggestive imagery. [[http://snowgrouse.livejournal.com/1584391.html#cutid1 This is a real photo of the Orion nebulae]]
