Hung On The Cross – Nico Nova
In keeping with the nature of our Sacred Sex series, here is a young man wrapping his body in sacred self-pleasure. Notice that he gets his whole body into the pleasure, not just his penis. His pleasure embraces every sense and every part of your body, building a full-body orgasm. But wait… his note includes a crucifix hanging on the wall, not an unusual decoration in some Catholic homes. Does he bother with his presence? Does it make him feel guilty? Or does he welcome his presence in a way that truly blesses this sacred time he has set aside for himself? The body carved into the cross is strangely beautiful and detailed in its representation. Maybe he’s even a little excited about it. Maybe there’s something transgressive about what he’s doing that turns him on even more.
In retrospect, perhaps he sees himself as an erotic partner to the man on the cross. Is this so different from nuns who consider themselves “Brides of Christ”? Or a direct interpretation of all those biblical quotes in which God’s relationship with his people is like a “divine marriage”? These references strongly suggest not just a “spiritual” union, but an erotic and physical union with the Divine, as expressed in the writings of saints such as John of the Cross or Teresa of Avila. Enjoying the erotic pleasure that our body can give us is definitely a divine gift. Celebrate it.
