I think my crucifixion fantasies started when I was a teenager some years ago. I attended a very conservative high school. Its your typical catholic school with crosses seemingly put everywhere. In fact, they were so common that it would be rather strange not to see those small wooden crosses somewhere. Young me always wondered what it would be like to be tied up to one, although I just viewed it with an innocent curiosity at the time.
I think it was during one of the school's foundation week celebrations that I started to associate crucifixions with a sexual undertone. Every year, students set up booths as a way to fundraise for school supplies. One of these booths is called a prison booth.The way the booth works is that someone will announce on the loudspeakers the students who will be imprisoned (for example if they're wearing red clothes, or if they're wearing glasses), and the wardens will try to chase those students down and put them in a makeshift prison cage (not really a cage, just an area enclosed by metal fences) where they were bound together by the waist using plastic ropes. To get out, you have to either pay, escape, or do something that will make you look silly (like make faces, or act like a monkey).
Anyways, one time I was one of the students who was captured. I was of course unwilling to pay "bail" because I'm a cheapskate
. The cage was nearly full at the time so the wardens decided to let us out but only after parading us prisoners in the schoolyard. Of course teenage me found the whole experience very much erotic, something about being bound with the other prisoners and being publicly humiliated just turned me on. I mentioned earlier that there were crosses everywhere in that school and I started fantasizing about what it would be like to be punished in that way and what it would feel like to hang on a cross. I fantasized about our "parade" actually ending with all of us condemned crucified side-by-side to be gawked and taunted at by the other students.
I went home and started to google for images of erotic crucifixions specifically ones where a lot of people are crucified. On one of my searches i stumbled upon this lovely community and discovered that im not the only one with this niche fantasy. I eventually got into BDSM stuff as a whole and the rest is history
p.s. it's always funny when conservative/religious schools inadvertently shape students to be the opposite of what they intended XD
