I
I was raised Catholic in the 60s. There was a somewhat pornographic tinge to the Suffering of the Martyrs. The tale that got my pre-pubescent hard on going was the martyrdom of St. Agnes. She was stripped naked and clapped in prison for her faith, at the age of 12. She was remanded to a brothel, but all the horny young Romans who tried to fuck her were struck blind. You'd think the authorities would take the hint and let her go, but no, they finally got around to cutting off her head.
There was another martyr I remember from reading about the saints as a young boy. She was thrown into prison and among other tortures they cut off her breasts before finally killing her. Don't recall her name but obviously the story stuck with me for 60 years. And the nuns thought I was never listening...
