Isn't it funny how hard it is to convince some people that the human race really have come very far over the last few hundred years.

If I had to pick one of these this might be the one that I would prefer. I imagine at some point you just reach exhaustion and don't really know or feel where you are.
I don't know. Think of it like this, while there's nothing really designed to inflict pain, imagine being out in the elements like that and totally immobilized. You can' even scratch your nose. And on top of that you're out in the sun so thus you'd be getting cooked with a nasty sunburn. Add in things like biting gnats, mosquitoes, flies, and lord knows what other sorts of biting bugs that you have no way of swatting away. But the real kicker to all this is that it would go on for days until you finally die from probably dehydration/exposure.

The torturer would then separate the devices four leaves using a screw mechanism, resulting in mutilation but rarely death.

some of them seem to have an infatuation with using genitals for torture
It's the most important and protected thing men have that we can lose without dying.
Cut off my fingers? Im not telling you shite!

Nothing compares to scaphism:
quote:
Scaphism, also known as the boats,[1] was an ancient Persian method of execution designed to inflict torturous death that was described by the Persians' archenemies, the Greeks. The name comes from the Greek s??f?, skáphe, meaning "anything scooped (or hollowed) out".
The intended victim was stripped naked and then firmly fastened within the interior space of two narrow rowing boats (or hollowed-out tree trunks) joined together one on top of the other with the head, hands and feet protruding. The condemned was forced to ingest milk and honey to the point of developing a severe bowel movement and diarrhea, and more honey would be poured on him to attract insects, with special attention devoted to the eyes, ears, mouth, genitals, and anus. In some cases, the executioner would mix milk and honey and pour that mixture all over the victim. He would then be left to float on a stagnant pond or be exposed to the sun. The defenseless individual's feces accumulated within the container, attracting more insects which would eat and breed within his exposed flesh, which—pursuant to interruption of the blood supply by burrowing insects—became increasingly gangrenous. The individual would lie naked, covered from head to toe in milk, honey, and their own feces. The feeding would be repeated each day in some cases to prolong the torture, so that fatal dehydration or starvation did not occur. Death, when it eventually occurred, was probably due to a combination of dehydration, starvation and septic shock. Delirium would typically set in after a few days.
In other recorded versions, the insects did not eat the person; biting and stinging insects such as wasps, which were attracted by the honey on the body, acted as the torture.

It was a prominent plot device in an episode of Bones.

Yea, you tell that to the people who had to live for days in that shite. It's takes the Iron Maiden to a whole new level.

I'm not saying it sounds like fun. I'm just saying it seems slightly less horrible than those other things on the list.

Back in the day, they were doing it right.
