This would also explain why basically a shortcut in horror monster/alien/scenery/set design is to start with genitalia as a style guide, and then distort it and/or apply it to objects that do not normally come even close to that.
Monster zombie dog?
Make dog naked, furless, and veiny, throbbing, skin where you can see it isn’t bleeding, but theres tons of blood right at the surface of the skin, also its mouth/head is now basically a vaginal opening with teeth, but uh, opening horizontally instead of vertically.
The design of the Xenomorph from Alien is famously like that. It has feminine curves, but a phallic head. And facehugger is basically raping the victims to impregnate them. All of these design choices were intentional to evoke the disgust/fear of the audience, I remember reading about this

See how easy this is?
