To stand by doing nothing while something exciting is happening. Used frequently on Wall Street to denote someone missing out on a winning trade. Literally means holding one’s penis.

A move used in BDSM pornographic videos, B-list horror movies, and sometimes other cases involving a hostage. The hold renders the victim completely immobile and helpless. She (it's always a she) will make little or no attempt to break free and will allow herself to be bound, killed, or led around by the captor.
The patient was fucked by the doctor after he used The Paralyzing Hold on her.
The serial killer used The Paralyzing Hold on the female teenager to easily kill her.
The hostage, as she was subdued by The Paralyzing Hold, watched helplessly as her captor fired at the hero.
