Hi.
In another thread of mine (CRUCIFIXION as an EXPERIENCE of LIFE and DEATH) I recalled a great crucifixion story by skilled BDSM author Iphigenia-at-Aulis.
Most of her work is still available here: https://www.bdsmlibrary.com/stories/author.php?authorid=437
However, her single crucifixion story can only be found here now:
Iphigenia's email is deactivated ( I had a correspondence with her like... 15 years ago! She's a most sweet and interesting person ) and, as you can see, someone else (this COLEEN person) already published her work in her name.
So overall I think it is okay if I repost her great crucifixion story here.
All the merit for this great story go to Iphigenia.
Here's a summary.
Hope you enjoy it.

PART 1
“What if the Christian deity had been thought to have sent his daughter instead of his son to save humankind?” Those words, which I had heard spoken from a feminist perspective in a class discussion an hour earlier, kept echoing through my mind. Yes, what if?
I was walking past a drab storefront area on East University Avenue, making my way to an interview. An interview for a temporary part-time job supposedly with ‘good compensation’. But I hadn’t applied for the job, they had called me. The guy on the phone said that he had heard ‘great things’ about me from one of my high school friends, Steve, also now here at the University. …It’s weird though. Me, only a second-year student here. I haven’t done any ‘great things’, anywhere, ever.
Abruptly, here it was, 1107 East University Avenue, with the words “New Perspective Films, Inc.” hand-lettered on the door. Before coming I had done some checking. They are a legitimate outfit, but they have a reputation for doing some strange and imaginative stuff.
Well, here I was. I took a deep breath, and opened the door. …Just a staircase leading up. Reaching the top of the stairs, another door, ajar. As I peeped in, a young man called out, “Come on in.”
“You must be Jenny,” said his companion as I entered.
“Um. Yes, I’m Jenny, here for the interview.”
“I’m Nick. This is Will. We are two of the three principals that make up New Perspective Films. …Won’t you sit down?” he asked.
“Could I get you some tea? …Herbal? Or green?” asked Will.
“Um. Maybe not.” Why was I so nervous? I had nothing at stake here. I didn’t even know that I wanted this job. …Then I realized that I was concerned about their expectations. They probably had unrealistic expectations that I could not fulfill. It’s funny, all the different ways you can worry about what other people might be thinking.
“Well… Perhaps we should get down to business then,” said Nick. “We’ve been commissioned, by a rather generous film patron, to produce what might be called an Easter passion play. You have an image of what an Easter passion play is? …Well, in this case our project sponsor wants this story to have …a heroine. The lead role would be female rather than male. Um…”
“We’re considering you for the role of …the daughter of god,” said Will. “You would undergo the kind of …um …events that are conventionally part of an Easter passion play. You have a friend, Steve, who sometimes does a little part time work with us, and he says that you’d be really good for the part.”
Now the pieces were falling into place. In recommending me, Steve must have had in mind some high school incidents that I need not discuss here; I’ve written about at least one of them elsewhere. “Are you saying that I would have the role of being… um… like, whipped and crucified?”
“Yes. Yes, that’s it exactly. You would have the lead role,” replied Will. Both guys seemed appreciative that I had provided the needed graphic description.
I wondered why it should happen that such an unconventional idea as a female in such a role should have come up twice on the same day in completely unrelated contexts. Are such things really random coincidences, or is there more to it? Notwithstanding what little I’ve read about quantum mechanics and cosmology, is anything actually random? Some religions, Eastern and Western, think not.
“We intend to place the situation in contemporary times, but the idea is the same as a traditional Easter passion play,” said Nick.
“But people don’t get crucified now-a-days,” I answered.
“Hey, whatever. On film anything can happen. And besides, a while ago I read that there was a death-row inmate in Florida who was having delusions of being Jesus Christ. Since they don’t execute crazy people, they had to postpone his execution. So one of the state legislators, annoyed by the delay, suggested that they crucify him instead.”
I laughed. …I had to admit that this whole thing was captivatingly offbeat. But was it something I actually could do? “What kind of acting experience do you think I have? Do you know I’ve only had minor parts in a couple of high school plays?”
“Not to worry. You won’t have all that many lines. This is an action film. This isn’t gonna be My Dinner with Andre.”
“Well… Yes, I’m interested.” When they described the pay, I got even more interested. It was a lot more than I had gotten in any of the little grunt-level jobs that are the whole of my job experience. It was flattering that someone could think I was worth that much. And this was professional experience, not clerical experience, even if it was in a profession I was not necessarily interested in pursuing.
“Um…. There is one more item of concern, for us to evaluate whether you’re the right person for the job,” said Nick, glancing down at my body. “Steve thought you were in good shape, physically. And obviously that’s really important in this role. Um… But… Uh… It’s sort of hard for us to tell for sure. Um… well… You know, I hate to impose on you like this. But, uh… would you mind, like… uh…”
Finally I said, “You need me to take some clothes off? Is that what you’re getting at?”
“Yeah. That’s it exactly. Thanks for understanding.”
I hesitated. Clearly this job was going to involve being scantily dressed …if that much. Did I really want to do that? Could I bring myself to do that? Hung on a cross that way. …The whipping was worrisome too. It might be done symbolically. Or it might be done realistically …and hurt. Something in me was saying no, no, no. …But something else in me was saying yes, give this opportunity a try.
I glanced at Nick and Will. They kept silent, seeming to understand that I needed to work this through, and giving me the space to do so. They weren’t aggressive or controlling. Quite the opposite. …I basically trusted them. It seemed like it might be fun working with them.
Finally, I replied, “Okay,” and stood up. I knew I was in fairly good shape. I regularly do some running and tai chi. Two summers ago I even participated in a triathlon (although I don’t know that I’ll ever do it again). I have always been into dance. And since I don’t have a car, I put a lot of milage on bike or on foot. Also I’m careful about what I eat… er, well, I try to be careful.
Good physical condition notwithstanding, I wondered if my overall build would fit their preferences. …But they could already see what my body type was. Women don’t have to take their clothes off to tell that.
“Could you move in front of the blank screen background over here? Will is going to videotape this. We need to see you from the film perspective. And please understand that this is not for our amusement. It’s simply one of the tasks needed to evaluate a person for this kind of role.”
Will added, “We’re also trying to get a feeling for how you move, how your body language can mesh with the role. So think of yourself as your film character. You’d have the grace and power of someone who will be revered forever, somebody like Joan of Arc. That’s the kind of person you are now.”
Although I had a lump in my throat and butterflies in my stomach, I took a deep breath and tried to center myself, placing my concentration at the body’s center of gravity, a little below the belly button. It seemed fortuitous that most of what I was wearing could be slipped out of gracefully: a zippered sweater, buttoned blouse, short skirt, panties, and Birkenstock sandals.
I stepped to the screen, and turned to face them. In retrospect, I suspect that I didn’t look as shaky as I felt. Flicking my hair back with a toss of my head, I unzipped my sweater, slipped it off, paused, and dropped it to the floor.
I wore no bra under my blouse, so the next step involved some uncertainty. I wasn’t sure how much they felt they needed to see. I didn’t want to do something in bad taste. And I’ll freely admit that I really didn’t want to have to bare myself in front of them. But I didn’t want to say anything that revealed how much anxiety I had about taking my clothes off either.
I resolved this by slowly unbuttoning my blouse, opening it enough to reveal that I wore no bra, but not enough to reveal my breasts. As if in some performance, I asked with a bold aloofness that I didn’t actually feel, “Do you wish me to proceed?”
Immediately catching the spirit, and relishing an opportunity to ham it up, Nick replied in an outlandishly imperious manner, “I command you to proceed.”
Trying to maintain a composed and aloof demeanor, I slipped off my blouse and dropped it to the floor. I could hear Will breathe, “My god, you’re super.”
I felt a bit more confident. To draw out the moment, I brought my hands up behind my neck and combed my fingers out through my hair. It was so weird. In front of this camera, maybe I didn’t feel like the docile and unassuming Jenny. Maybe here I could be someone else entirely.
I kicked off my sandals, then loosened my skirt, and let it drop to the floor. My panties followed, although perhaps not so gracefully. I stood before them naked. Feeling a little awkward, and not knowing quite what to do with my hands, I raised my arms as if in a ballet, brought them straight out to the sides, tipped my head slightly back, closed my eyes, and held this crucified pose for a few moments.
“You’re the right person for the job,” Nick spoke up.
“I agree,” said Will, grinning. “She’s got it all. You know, I think this is going to be a project where you get paid well for having a lot of fun. And…”
He paused listening to the sound of someone bounding up the stairs. I was completely naked. Panic! As this barrel-shaped guy burst in, I tried as best I could to cover my breasts with one hand and pussy with the other.
“Am I late? …Oh, excuse me. Are you Jenny? I’m Karl, one of the principals of this firm.” He held out a hand to me. I stared at it dumbly for a moment, before uncovering my breasts so that I could offer my hand in return.
“Hey, it’s okay Jenny. He’s making the film with us, right?” said Will, and to Karl he said, “Just check out the tape. She’s actually not in the least awkward – except when charged by a bull.”
Karl laughed and went over to play the tape. I quickly put my panties on. I was putting my skirt on when Nick said, “Well, now that you’ve got the job, there’s one more thing we ought to try to do today, before you leave. This is a physically demanding role, and we need to start right away getting you in shape for it, as well as getting our techniques in order. For you, the toughest parts will probably be the whippings. So we’d like to spend an hour or so today working on that. So maybe there’s no need to get dressed any further.”
“So let’s see what we’ve got here,” said Will, going over to a long box on the floor, and beginning to open it. “This is the stuff we ordered off the Internet. Just arrived this noon. Let’s check out the goodies.”

Magnetic sexuality? Me? That is most certainly not an image I go around trying to project. I glanced down at my bare top, nipples pinched erect in Passion.

On Easter, the commander bobbed the clothes pins back and forth. But my nipples were beginning to numb to the sensation. He released them. I gasped anew.

All the merit for this great story go to Iphigenia.
Here's a summary.
The 'Jenny' character is also the protagonist of all Iphigenia's stories that you can find on her bdsmlibrary profile.The narrative explores the unconventional premise of a modern-day "Easter Passion Play" where the protagonist, Jenny, is cast as the daughter of God, experiencing the trials traditionally associated with Christ, including whipping and crucifixion. The story begins with Jenny reluctantly accepting the role in a small, quirky film production. Though initially hesitant, she agrees to endure physical challenges like nudity and simulated punishments, driven by curiosity, flattery, and the lure of payment.
The filmmakers, a mix of artistic ambition and fetishistic intrigue, rehearse scenes involving Jenny's whipping, bondage, and crucifixion. Through these sessions, Jenny experiences a mix of pain, vulnerability, and erotic discovery, with the filmmakers oscillating between professional detachment and indulgence in their desires. As she becomes immersed in the role, Jenny contemplates themes of sacrifice, suffering, and her familial connection to divine lineage, presenting a blend of humor, philosophical musings, and sensual exploration.
The climax occurs during the public crucifixion scene, where Jenny, exposed and bound, becomes a spectacle for an enraptured crowd. Amid her suffering and the crowd's mixed reactions—ranging from reverence to lewd fascination—Jenny reaches a profound emotional and physical catharsis, symbolizing both her character's sacrifice and her personal transformation. The story concludes with Jenny’s symbolic "resurrection," leaving the crowd awed and the filmmakers satisfied with their provocative production.
This blend of dark humor, sensuality, and philosophical reflection forms the backbone of the story, challenging conventional notions of suffering, art, and devotion.
Hope you enjoy it.
