Well yesterday was the big day, I was crucified for the first time, and I learned something that I'm sure those of you who have been crucified already know. Crucifixion HURTS. I managed to last 22 minutes according to my boyfriend, and believe me, when I finally safeworded, I was totally and completely wiped. I didn't have any real cramps though, and I'm glad of that as I"m sure that would have ruined the experience. I learned something about the dance as well. I had no trouble at all breathing as I imagine you must be on your cross for much longer that I was before that begins to occur, but I was constantly seeking a position where things hurt less, or to change which muscles etc. were being strained, but never could find any position that provided any real relief. I can only imagine what it was like in Roman times for people being crucified for real in Roman times.
All in all, I found it a positive experience, and I definitely will try again in the future; I can see how it might become addicting and I am so glad I joined this group and met like minded people to share experiences and give advice.
I probably overdid it with the whipping prior to the crucifixion, I really didn't realize just how much my back rubbing on the wood after the whipping would hurt, but again, its part of the experience and now that I'm done, I'm glad that things played out the way that they did. I don't think I'll be sleeping on my back or having missionary position sex for a while though.
My boyfriend said he was incredibly turned on by it all, and frankly so was I. He took some pictures (no, I am not going to share them) and Jesus did I look HOT. But I've been spending a lot of time in this forum going through some old posts so I know just how beautiful a crucified woman can look. I was horny as hell too. Something we took care of afterward, but perhaps in the future we'll take care of that while I'm crucified. Plenty of time to try new things.
So all in all that was my experience. Thanks so much to all who gave me advice and ideas and just wanted to help me with the experience. I think I'm going to make some good friends here and I know I have found the perfect place for me to be.
