And what happened was, as the condemned carried out his dance of the cross, the wooden spike that was attached to the face of the post travelled in and out of the anus. It was, in a word, "sexual."

I'd worry over the actual effects and (if you will) trajectory so much, that even negating the horrible pain from the actual procedure, I'd probably put myself through hell with my imagination. Not to mention that at least starting out, you’d have the added psychological effect of feeling like you could very nearly get off the pole if you were only a bit taller. Finally, the exhaustion setting in would be awful. You want to pass out, but know you just can’t. The idea of crucifixion (even after watching Passion of the Christ as a teen with a zealot boyfriend) has never kept me thinking like this. Not that I don’t find it fascinating.WantingMemorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06810818708904697380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524039117682127217.post-43395790603467086062012-02-07T03:15:30.874+11:002012-02-07T03:15:30.874+11:00I don't think its accurate to say that crucifi...I don't think its accurate to say that crucifixion was the liberal soft hearted version, certainly by the time Jesus was allegedly executed the Romans had got it down to a fine art in pain and suffering (possibly worse than this one). <br /><br />Also it has to added that from everything I have read, there were many different ways this execution method could be administered, the more sofisticated (if you can describe anything this barbaric as such) being to make a small incision between the anus and genitals, thus allowing a smoother incision into the body cavity through to the the top of the sternum, the blunt end of the stake would then penetrate the sternum and be locked under the victims lower jaw.Malaidashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04318196447623177846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524039117682127217.post-13864975540684434072012-01-12T10:59:45.567+11:002012-01-12T10:59:45.567+11:00Alexander the Great is said to have had Darius III...Alexander the Great is said to have had Darius III's murderer, Bessus, executed in the Persian manner: mutilation and impalement.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07380693301039986035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524039117682127217.post-8972291422555034842012-01-10T22:46:01.660+11:002012-01-10T22:46:01.660+11:00But guess how many times it would have to happen b...But guess how many times it would have to happen before pedophilia drastically decreased.
