According to Freud, when the infant male becomes aware of differences between male and female genitalia, he assumes that the female's penis has been removed and becomes anxious that his penis will be cut off by his rival, the father figure, as punishment for desiring the mother figure. (Remember that Freud also believed that the sexual development of a male child results in him wanting to have sex with with the mother and, as a result, kill the father - the Oedipus complex.)
Castration anxiety also can refer to being castrated symbolically - the fear of being degraded, dominated or made insignificant, fearing the loss of virility.
Jeez! Here I thought it was a male’s fear of teeth during a blow job.
