Poll--Were you raised Catholic?

Yes, this is a ploy to smoke out responses from the majority of our 155 members who don't post.

It's also a semi-scientific way to find out what percentage of people with this fetish were raised in a faith whose central image is a vaguely effeminate, mostly naked guy hanging from a cross.

You need only answer yes or no. Further comments are at your discretion.

My answer: Yes. Attended parochial school until 9th grade to boot.

Did anyone get a screen capture of the brief crucifixion scene in last night's Rome Episode 02/04/07? The second victim appeared to be a woman. The camera angle was from the rear and to the right of the victims.

The Cross is Calling Me - Part 1
by Cycle

It was almost two years ago.

The cross remains in pieces under my bed. Five pieces of wood. A purple Crown Royal bag holds the bolts needed to hold the cross together. I don’t think about it often, but it’s strangely always in the back of my mind. Like stopping by the Crux Forums to see what people are saying. To see what pictures have been posted. And to reread the story I wrote about my first time on the cross.

It’s easy to find it. Search for...

Okay once upon there was a mighty Empire and its fall in the West at least ushered in a period of lost records and chaos popularly known as the Dark Ages. Well recently Crux Forums has suffered its own Dark Ages Weeks and among the great monuments lost (blowing of own trumpets ;) ) was certain thread called Roman Resources.

The object of this thread is to help the many would be writers and other artist who desperately want their tales of Rome to be near accurate as can be humanly...

Every Shadow Burns My Face

[ a little fairytale of a story which will twist its way to the kind of end such tales have. The ingredients are all in the pot, such as kings and quens and knights and frogs, good and bad but it still needs some stirring. Though no dwarves or dragons - but fire, and, of course crosses. That might take a while because sometimes it's a long journey for someone until they learn to accept and appreciate the cross...]

Colonia Patricia Corduba, Baetica, c. 120 AD

Iunia Latina

Comes Crispus could well have drank more wine from Asta Regia, yet on that scorching summer day in Corduba he, a Roman eques and a new member of the staff of the provincial governor, wanted to keep his head clear. Proconsul Dolabella was expecting him for dinner later, and the comes didn’t want to wake up the next day feeling as if a Roman cohort had been...

I haven't posted a story in a while. This is a short one I wrote some time ago, and just recently got around to editing. I wrote it following a discussion here (somewhere) on what it might be like, being a family member of a condemned person, say the father of a crucified girl.

She was his daughter, Ninian, his pretty, vivacious 19 year old beauty. The girl that all the boys came to see. He remembered her as a little girl, a toddler,...

"No! Just a few more minutes," gasped the girl. She could feel the tight stretching of the muscles of her arms. Her shoulders ached. Actually they almost burned with the pain. They were stretched out on the crosspiece of a large French oak cross.

She was having trouble breathing now, especially since she was so tired that her legs were trembling where they were bound to the stipes. She could only gasp.

The cross was standing at...

Did Archaeologists Find the Last Maccabean King?

Crucified remains and a broken jaw have confused scientists for decades. But it could well be that the last Hasmonean king has been found under a private house in Jerusalem.

In 1970, a rock-cut tomb called »Abba Cave« was discovered - not far from the tomb of »Jehohanan«, the famous »crucified man«, discovered in 1968 - by workers building a private house in Jerusalem’s Givat Hamivtar neighborhood. The cave...

My Reactions After My Cross Was Raised...

I was just looking at my own avatar and wondering to myself what I might be doing, feeling, saying, etc once my cross was raised after I had been nailed to it. So I just decided to jot them down kind of randomly in a post.

Initially there would be screams of agony and the instant realization that I would be dying on this cross. I would want so badly to be free of my pain and anguish that my struggling would begin immediately. Squirming, writhing, hoping to somehow free myself from my...

This night the carpentry of my cross
By myself
My lovely cross
From rough timber
And musty smell

I prepare my mind
In meditation
I kneel
I bow
Some tears

Three man in black suit with blackened face come in
They undress me
One flog my back, the other my breast and belly and the third my legs left and right
They laugh and cry

They they lay my cross on the ground
They smash me on the wood
Sharp splinters
They tie my wrists with flat leather ribbons
One circling, again, three, four and five...

My husband's birthday is comming up (Aug 20th) and I have offered myself to be crucified as a gift for him on that date. This will be my second crucifixion experience and I would like to have the members of this forum to have some input as to how the scene could develop.

The first time I did this for him it was pretty much a standard crux procedure. Confinement, trial, flagellation, crucifixion. The only departure from tradition was a bit of electro-torture while I was being affixes to my...

I’m lying on his bed. On his smooth white sheets. I’m staring at the ceiling, which is painted white, as are the walls and the shutters over the window which cast parallel lines of shadow over the walls and the white-painted floorboards.

I listen to my breathing. There is no other sound in the room. I don’t think that I have ever felt so calm. I remember myself paddling in the sea when I was a child. Sand between my toes and green strands wrapping around my ankles as water drifted...

Following my earlier thread, asking how many of us get naked to get in the mood when visiting our favourite BDSM site, I've been fantasising about my browsing activities being discovered while I'm mid-surf.

Of course, there can only be one possible outcome. But would I learn my lesson?

I think that would be very unlikely!

After a few moments, I opened my eyes. My face was inches from the bloody dirt on the hill west of town. I was resting on my knees and elbows after carrying the heavy plank from the town prison, through the streets of my home up to the hill of execution.

Suddenly, the air was pierced with the shriek of pain. One of my fellow condemned prisoners had just felt the sting of the nail going into his wrist. The guards had their work cut out for them today. Almost twenty of us had been...

Nailed on Hard Wood

1.


It was a sunny day in the Mediterranean. It was always sunny and the island of Cassini was no different than a lot of the out of the way Italian islands that dot the water off the mainland. I was of two minds on the subject. I don’t object to sunshine, or warm weather, but I can’t say I was happy with the circumstances of my arrival on this little island paradise, a visit that would...

It was this post from My 3d Rendering that got me thinking about how a crucified woman -- such as myself -- might become friends with a stranger crucified next to her. Hey, it could happen!:D

So, here is my first serious, original post. It incorporates many of my fantasies and is probably way too long, but I just felt I had to say what is in it. Hopefully you will find something in it you like. Feel free to send me your critical appraisal. It'll help me in the...
