There are many aspects of crucifixion that excite me. The brutal beatdown pre-crucifixion, carrying the cross, the climactic nailing, and so much more. However, one important detail about any of the aforementioned scenarios is who shall the executioner be? There are many contexts which are all erotic, such as a rebel being crucified by a powerful government, a slave being punished by a master, or a criminal being subjugated to the rule of law. In all of the previous scenarios we see the executioner being embodied by something powerful, but above all by something that deeply hates the victim and wants to exact as much pain and suffering as possible. The executioner can be a governor, a military leader, a master, an angry crowd, etc. But one aspect that is extremely erotic to me is how closely did the executioner and the victim knew each other. This aspect is everything for me.
The closer the relationship between the executioner(s) and victim(s), the more erotic it becomes. One particular scenario that we can all imagine is being crucified by our coworkers. Just imagine an angry crowd made up of all the people you work with. Some of them don't know you well, some do, and others hate you. You know that the ones that hate you will be the ones taking over your execution. And if they know you well enough, they might know what to do to you to inflict the most humiliation. There is a level of dread that one feels when the executioner is someone that the victim knows well, especially if the executioner is someone who despises the victim. The reason being that if you are sentenced to crucifixion but the executioners are just the morning shift soldiers, then you know they will just follow procedure. But if you are crucified by an angry mob that is made up of people that really want you to suffer at a deep personal level, then you know that there is no limit to what will be done to you. Also, there is the added humiliation of your personal enemies getting full command of your fate. That last part is what I love.
