The Aesthetic Component

Go to CruxDreams.com
In that first one, you really fee them HANGING on those crosses. They’re not contorting much, just hanging. Waiting. Dying. So utterly exposed.

I expect that’s what most crucifixions turned into after the first few minutes of the victim thrashing, screaming, and squirming. They would tire out pretty fast. They’ll live a good while (the human body is stubborn) hanging like that, so I imagine your typical roadside crucifixion featured the condemned hanging fairly still as they waited to die.

I’d like to say Amber retired from BDSM


but the sad truth is there were rumors of illness and financial troubles, and she simply disappeared.

Bummer.

She posted some of the first crux pics I ever saw

and I used to have a collection of her more conventionally posed crux pics

A602538D-9E40-4730-BBCF-B049E3AF894D.jpeg

taken over a considerable length of time, reflecting noticeable changes in her body. If anybody has more of them, this is an excellent place to post them. ;)
 
I encountered the pensive lady in the first picture a few years back, and others from the same shoot a few minutes ago. To my regret she elected to wear her panties, rather than a loincloth or just go bare ass naked, as God and Pontus Pilate intended.

I don’t do contemporary crucifixions; my crux fantasies are embedded firmly in the Roman Empire.

The pictures below are exceptions. :eek: :babeando: :very_hot:

and an invitation to anybody to post here the crux images that turn them on, and share with us the reasons why.

Hi Apostate. I'm going to take that as an invitation to post images that are beautiful, or involve beautiful poses, although these things are as ever subjective.

This first set all go back a decade or more

Consider, Phlebas, that is precisely why I started this thread. :rolleyes:

For instance, I’m not particularly interested in imitation-of-Christ loincloths.

Makar's Marina is another of my exceptions. :babeando:

As some others have said, the aesthetics are important if your fetish began when you were a child seeing depictions of Jesus hung on the cross. The body was seldom depicted as that of a strong man. I think the artists emphasized the thin, weak look to feminize his look. This was done, I believe, not to create any homoerotic image (although I am sure that was the result for many gay men), but to emphasize the vulnerability and innocence of the victim. I suppose that as puberty hit and my heterosexual nature emerged I transferred the feelings I had to women. I was titillated by the front covers of the old pulp men's magazines with images such as Nazis whipping young, beautiful women. The fact that the Nazis actually did things like this added to the excitement even though I found the true stories repugnant and wanted every one of those bastards hunted down and killed.

So therein lies the conundrum that many of us have faced-- appalled by the actual use of torture and crucifixion, but still enthralled by the fantasy. I am not one of those who enjoys seeing all the rough stuff and sexual violation being done to the women. Perhaps because of my youthful experience with all those Rennaissance and Baroque works of art I am more pleased by seeing a young, innocent girl on the cross. I can think of her as a saint and martyr.

Blood also plays a role in my crux fantasies. I don't like it overdone with blood all over, though. Again, the aesthetics I developed require just a little blood at certain points, those being the hands and feet if they have been pierced by nails, the forehead if the woman has a crown of thorns, and the back and front ribs where the whip's tail wrapped around and left a bloody welt. In the photos of girls crucified in a European forest (Russia?) the victims generally have a clean and innocent appearance. You can see them suffer as time on the cross goes on. It would be nice to see a video of the entire experience. I have only seen a few where the girls were whipped a little before being tied to the cross. There are also a few, perhaps from a different source, with fake nails and blood that sometimes look a bit too fake, but still have a nice aesthetic with the red blood on the white skin.

It is also interesting how they are tied, with the hands firmly secured on the cross beam above and the feet placed flat against the beam with the feet inserted, toes down, into the loop of rope that has been tied around the beam. The pressure on the front of the feet must be painful when they try to move up to relieve the strain on their arms and shoulders. I would be tempted to place some small spike or rough area on the beam at that point so that the bottoms of the feet would rub against something painful as well.

Having said all that about my aesthetic fantasy, I take comfort morally in the idea that these women were all volunteers. Some may be masochists who enjoy this experience and some may do it for pay. Best of all would be if they are both drawn to it by their own erotic nature and get paid as well. I am also assuming that someone is looking after their safety to prevent any serious injuries and to treat them, if needed, after they come down from the cross.
 
I am drawn to images that emphasize the phallic symbolism of the cross. It’s an unyielding, untiring lover upon which victims writhe and exhaust themselves. The sexual symbolism adds to the whole point of the punishment: the punisher’s complete power over the victim.

I think it is best demonstrated when the victim (particularly a woman) faces the cross. Ladies so horribly unfortunate as to be crucified in this position are forced to embrace the cross like a lover. I’ve seen some claims (without any evidence) that women were crucified facing the cross to lessen the shame for them and/or their families. It seems patently ridiculous; I can’t imagine anything more shameful than my ass hanging out for the crowd while I dry-hump a wooden post.

And a couple more, from the History Channel. She’s clothed, but still has the cross between her legs.

I like the idea of having the victim up against the post, plus her back is open to further whipping.

Woman at saltire (28mm wargame miniature, female, pinup, bdsm, crucified, nude, naked woman

is the only crux figurine Brother Vinni makes. Dammit. Because a.) she’s one of the few crucified, nude, naked woman sculptures in existence and b.) whether he realizes it or not, he gets this kink. :babeando:

I've just got this model....needs painting obviously. 28mm equivalent to 1/48 scale I'd guess....
Sadly though,this other model is no longer available, apparently.... :( :(

Another of the first crux images I ever saw. No sweat or blood or nails, just evocatively lit nudity, a pretty young blonde seemingly suspended in space.

Y'know. Artsy-fartsy. Along with an ill-considered enlargement. :rolleyes:

Some CF prehistory.

When I first googled "crucified women" back in ‘02 I got this

4F85DDCE-D956-4702-A18E-21BE1817ACF5.jpeg

which was on the precursor to this website


which was and is run by Hufkens, who despite some problematic behavior back then really is one of the founders of crux as we know it. His own artwork as seen below is, well, primitive, but represents his conception of crux as he explained to me.

No nails, no blood, no pain. Just beautiful naked female bodies on display, often in ecstasy, like the orgasmic Madonna clone in #4, which really is an effective example of erotic crux. :babeando:

Hufkens was a founder of this forum, though I would argue the old Crux group was more the precursor than the Crucified Women website, which came well after that was founded. An odd fellow, I wonder what he's up to now? He had a site before Crucified Women, as far as I remember, and it was there that I first saw his manips, before I ever did my own.

As for the Makar b&w, when I found these it was as if I had found the motherload, this was what I had been looking for, and his work has never been surpassed.

Here's another selection of aesthetic cruxees

I assured him I would steal her, and I have. ;)
 
Spookiie65's specialty over on DeviantArt is erotic hanging, but this cool, atmospheric effort at crux makes me wish he or she would do more.

Lots more. :babeando:

Red Feline's pictures and vids were really just kinda/sorta crux, and held little appeal for me. But in hindsight I realize that golden firelight color palette is just plain gorgeous.
