I have wondered what CruxForums members might think on the subject of which is more painful, the strappado or crucifixion. Now, understand we are talking about bondage roll playing, and not state sanctioned torture and executions. Crux members who have actually experienced both forms of punishment please join in the discussion, as yours would be the most valuable of opinions. For the sake of comparison, we would be talking "classic" styles, with feet off the ground fo the strappado, and the "T" or tau cross with arms at 45-degree angle, toes pointed down attached to the stipes, and no seat. We might want to put a time limit on how long the victim would be hanging there, let's say one hour. Having experienced both these torments, I would have to say the strappado would be the most painful, under the conditions I've described.
