Hi, all! First post here. Joined about a year ago, have lurked until now. In my own fantasy life, I more or less go with Jedakk's theory outlined above. Pre-crucifixion torture should synergize with the later crucifixion, but it should be lethal on its own.
Responding to a post Yupar made. The
parent thread is the one where Eulalia asked how people would humiliate her before crucifixion.
My own fantasies settled down to this approach:
1) In cell, victim is stripped naked, or stripped to a loincloth. About half the time, I've fantasized about two women being crucified opposite one another, so substitute singular or plural nouns as needed.
2) Victim(s) are led to a public arena to be gang raped. If not nude, then each victim strips nude, or the executioners strip them nude, or the victims strip each other nude.
3) 2-4 executioners take their turns with each woman. Usually one guy comes inside her, rest finish on her. As Yupar noted, you want the victim to have to give oral, but you also want to be careful that she doesn't injure the guys, so it's either drug the victim before step 1, some sort of psychic compulsion, or some other hand-waving.
4) Raise victims to a whipping post. Let them hang for 5-10 minutes for display. They're usually sobbing, or trying not to sob.
4a) In the earlier forms of
hanging, drawing, and quartering, men were fastened to a hurdle and drawn by horse to the gallows (it was a rough ride), then hanged but cut down before death, then emasculated, disemboweled, beheaded, then body chopped into quarters. As an alternative, after rape, you could hang the victims by the neck, cut them down before death, allow them to recover, then go to step 4.
5) Whip them on the back and buttocks.
6) They carry their patibulum/ae to the crosses.
7) After that, I like Jedakk's and Quoom's style of: Force victim down, nail her wrists, then raise patibulum on stipes. Let her hang and writhe a bit, then nail feet. Cornu optional. I hadn't fantasized about them until I read Sabina's story.
7a) I did used to have the executioners fasten the stipes to the patibulum on the ground, then add a spreader bar, then nail victim(s) by the wrists, then through the ankles while on the ground. Then raise cross. The victims will wind up like Skating Jesus' portrait of Cecilia, but with her arms outstretched.
In retrospect, through ankles or through the heel bones isn't as realistic. Tearing through bone will increase the pain but shorten the survival time, and you risk their feet pulling out. Jedakk mentioned this in other threads. Prefer them to die slowly.
8) After that, just let them hang until dead, or administer a coup de grace (e.g. break legs) They're already naked, legs spread out, struggling for breath, and recovering from a gang rape and possibly a hanging. So, enough torture already.
