Alternate Definition of castration??[Updated]

[bigal40]

I am taking an "Age Specific Competency Test" so that I can volunteer at the hospital. I was reading over the packet they gave out and under "Fears" for preschooler(Age 4-6) is the following:
"Boys have a real fear of castration as punishment for real or imagined misdeeds."

Is there an alternate definition of castration that means being cut off from other people or are preschoolers fearing a castration in the medical snse of the term?

I personally don't ever remember having a fear of castration.


EDIT:

The next sentence reads:

Therefore, urinary catheterization or other procedures near the genital are may cause them a great deal of anxiety, provoking frantic resistance."

what a question.

At that age I didn't really know what *that* was down there, much less did I fear losing it...

What the hell kind of environment does one have to grow up in to fear that?

The thought never would have crossed my mind.
