It's not a stupid question. Some months ago, it was really what I wanted, and worse, I wanted to be nailed to the cross.
I truly wanted, for personal and religious reasons that I don't want to explain here, to be crucified, to suffer on the cross, not to die but suffer like Christ, to clean me, to erase some horrors of my past from my mind.
I don't want to tell more because now I understand that it was a sort of suicide, for I needed the help of others through crucifixion.
I began to look for people who would accept to nail me on a cross on DFN, and I had many serious offers from... more than sick people.
First, they nearly all wanted to rape me, whip me, and torture me before, while or after, not understanding what I was really looking for. It was their condition to accept to crucify me.
Secondly, fortunately, a member warned me that I could lose the normal usage of my hands and/or feet and that all these people just wanted to torture and rape me as much as they could and nothing else.
The same one gave me this forum link, and I met Erin, who convinced me that it was completely mad to ask to be nailed, as she had gone through it herself, and that I had to do it only with ropes and find someone to help me do it.
And then, as you have been able to read in my second story, which is, in fact, all real, not finding anybody I could trust, I self-crucified and nearly died asphyxiated and was saved by my now love, Sylvia.
So, yes, girls and guys who would voluntarily ask to be crucified are real and not only in fiction; I was one of them.
