Nailing Feet

I wouldn't be so sure of that. I think a lot of it depends on how they've nailed the feet. If your feet at nailed either side I would imagine you'd have stability so you could push upwards..... Where as, if your feet are nailed one over the top of the other, your feet would pivot on the nail causing your feet to rotate inwards making harder to hold your weight on already mega agonised feet.

Feet nailed to either side of the post would be the lesser of the two.....

Are you talking A) feet pressed soles flat against the side (legs spread open) of the stipes, or B) the sides of the feet against the stipes and the nail driven in from the side of the foot? (Damn, it sounds like I'm asking if this is an African or European Swallow, sorry.) Because if the nail is driven from the side through the heel or ankle, it would rotate on the nail every time you pushed up.

I was wondering as i read a story a bit ago. Which would be worse when having feet nailed? Feet nailed one on top of the other with a long nail, feeling it tear through one foot as it begins to tear through the other. Or one nailed individually knowing that you have one more and as they grab it you pull and kick because of the pain you know is awaiting you.

Tree wonders why you would be concerned about anything more than the price of spikes...

I think your (A) would be the best way to nail a girl, on a curved or bevelled stipes,
it would force my legs wide apart so I'm accessible for 'other' tortures,
and they'd be able to keep alternately flexing or forcing for a long-drawn-out agony.
I'm not sure that my feet would be in any less pain than in (B),
the nails would be driven through the small bones,
forcing sharp fragments of bone into the flesh,
and tearing and breaking them more and more
every time I push down on them with my body-weight...

It's a point (no pun intended) certainly.
 
The question is, whether the feet, nailed like (A), can hold the body weight, which exerts pressure parallel to the metarsal bones (the same objection as nailing through the hand palm). The feet could be ripped open or torn off? Nailed like (B) , the nail goes through a more massive bone structure, than carries better the body weight (I have always been told).

I suspect that in the case of (A), one would have to place the nail high enough up the foot so that the bones would support the person on the nail without tearing the foot. I suspect Eul is right that it would be necessary to nail through some bones to achieve that. Extremely nasty however you do it.

Fortunately, in writing crux fantasy, one relies on the tautology of "whatever happens, happens", which is to say, if I as the storyteller say that the feet are nailed effectively in either position A, B, or C (one foot on top of the other), then they are. ;):D
 
It would also suck if they selected nails by inches according to your shoe size. I'm a mens 8.5 thats long enough. Some other guys out there would really be in for some pain.

Pp has no interest in being nailed but, if he can speak as someone who has broken many small bones in his feet thanks to handling heavy livestock, broken an ankle badly and also experienced extensive surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon then he would doubt you would notice any difference whatsoever in the pain you would experience from the variations in nailing.
All would be excruciatingly painful. Beyond 10 on the scale. And the continuing pain through your dance would be little different - excruciatingly painful with every movement of shattered bones on flesh and nerves whether in your feet or ankles.
In Pp's experience the only relief comes from elevation of damaged feet and ankles to reduce the hellish throbbing and that, clearly, is not going to happen.
The difference would be much more, as Eulalia says, in the way the different nailing methods open your legs and thighs to other torment and humiliation.

This is one of the harher aspects of crucifixion with nails, the feet. Damage is almost unavoidable, if the nails are a major point of fixing the crucified victim to their cross. Flesh sinew and bone must suffer, and as the ordeal drags on the constant trauma and movement can only make things worse.
Crucifixion stories in the old Crux group used to refer to "standing on" your nail, when the weight was taken off the tortured wrists arms and shoulders and the body was supported by the nailed feet. That nail, hard and unforgiving, would be a lightining rod of almost unbelievable agony for anyone.
Conclusion, there is no "good" way to be nailed to a cross !
 
Thanks to Sed's latest wonderful image for reminding me of this old manip of mine. Note the feet, legs tucked up high and feet nailed between the bones of the ankle (I don't know the correct terminology).
It looks excruciatingly unpleasant.

Mmm I wonder whether death would be hastened in that position with the nails through the ankles. Can't see the victim getting much leverage with the legs to alleviate the constriction on the chest.
 
Siss wrote a segment over a year ago in our story "A day in the arena" in which she had my feet nailed to the stipe one higher than and above the other. I think that is an interesting variation on the nailing of feet that must have created an awkward twisting strain on how I would have performed that painful and exhausting dance of death.
 
When SkatingJesus wanted to crucified me, I was asking , for this pic, to have my feet nailed apart ...

I think that in my fantasy, I love this position and could not do without nails !

More, it permits to you (viewers) to caress my intimate parts, or perhaps to introduce one or two fingers or something else like dildo or even some red iron .... obviously to your pleasure !:rolleyes: ....... and mine !!!
