Definitely!
I still remember the nuns instructing us third graders to meditate on Jesus's wounds. I think that was the beginning of my crux fetish. BTW, I have long since discovered that those instructions are peculiarly unique to the Catholic church. Of course, most other Christian religions don't display the corpse of their god, preferring the empty cross as a more positive image of redemption.
Ye gads, don't get me started on Catholicism!
Sorry! To get back to the topic of this thread. . .
Remember to turn on the sound!
It was the moment during Stations of the Cross when the priest said, “He stood naked, ready to die on the cross.”
12 year-old me pictured what that would be like, then looked at my “girlfriend” (middle school relationships were so serious!) next to me and pictured her naked and crucified with me...
It was the beginning of a long and beautiful fetish.
