Talking on the cross is honestly one of the sexiest things about crucifixion. The thing that stands out about crucifixion compared to nearly every other form of execution is the fact that the victims are still alive for a very long time (compared to other methods of execution anyway), are aware and able to speak. The only other form of execution that compares is the rack. And then talking becomes extremely difficult towards the end in the latter stages of tightening. Whereas crucifixion allows talking for as long as the victim can manage to do so, even right up to their final moments, if conscious. This, in addition to the nudity, stretched out position, and pain of whipping and nailing, all adds up to no doubt the sexiest execution method in existence. But it is the talking between victims on their crosses and between victim and executioner or victim and onlookers that is the sweetest aspect of crucifixion. It leaves me with a question. What would be the attitude of the executioners about the victims talking? Would they not care, just have the attitude that how victims expend their remaining strength doesn't matter as they are nailed in place and raised and are not going anywhere and will eventually succumb anyway? Or do they police it, caring more about certain forms of communication than others? For example, do they allow free reign of conversation between victims but monitor and control conversations between victims and onlookers? Is there any difference allowed between males and females who talk from their crosses? These are questions that interest
