Ever experienced a St Andrew's Cross?

One of the advantages where I live is I am guaranteed privacy because I own 70 acres woods in which I have had much fun, mostly with Gerry my long standing friend but also with some other guys over the years. One thing I built years ago was a St Andrew's Cross that has been used many times and during winter the cross is removed inside for storage and then setup again in late March for the spring and summer.

I always look forward to the first day of spring when I will phone Gerry up and tell him that its happening today and to come over in the afternoon at 2ish. I will then prepare myself by undressing to my underwear and vest and wait patiently for Gerry to arrive when he will then take over for some fun times.

Have used St Andrews cross several times at venues when I was a member of local kink group. Very versatile piece of equipment. I would have one in my apartment if I had the room.

I have never used a St. Andrew’s Cross. @Sexy_Librarian has never experienced being on a St. Andrew’s Cross. We have seen pictures of them with some lovely ladies restrained to them, and some without. She has asked me to figure out how to build one for us to use, but have it disguised, or hidden in plain site. She wants us to “play” with her restrained to one. Guess I need to get busy designing.

If the sub can stand for long periods of time, they are a good bondage point for flogging and impact play. They are plans out there for making furniture grade crosses that fold for displaying the cross in plain sight.

For safety have a chair near by and either use snap links or have a rope cutting tool on your person when playing.

St. Andrew's cross also referred as X-cross is definitely great pieces of bondage furniture. Looks are impressive, too. However it is just 4 restraints points. Great fun though.

I have experienced the cross several times. Very erotic tied up leaving all the parts available to mistress. Love being tied up on it, flogged and played with. Such a simple design.

Yes....a number of times totally at the mercy of the Domme....100% expose.

Wife and I had one in the basement of our old house, we had to leave it there when we moved.

Ever find out what the new owners did with it???

@Rigel we're renting out to semi-kinky friends of ours. They know its there (its obvious) but they haven't mentioned using it. Wouldn't surprise me if they have a few times.

I've been on both sides of a St Andrews cross. I enjoyed it very much. The one I was attached to was my former Dom, he designed and built it. It tilted so you could lay flat on your back, have to say it was amazing. When flat you can rest, and be tortured with other implements then brought upright again, he builds bondage and dungeon furniture professionally and it's all very beautiful. When he's in town I'll have to go for a visit, 😀😉

Laying face down with the cross tilted to a flat position it gives great access to the bottom and vagina, nicely exposed to be used as a Dom desires!

If the sub has ample breasts they hang and swing freely and can be nipple clamped with weights for added pleasure!

Mmmm, I think the X is indeed great Fun!!

I have seen the Saint Andrew's Cross but never used one.

Used many times in the local dungeon we used to have. I’d bind the nurse to the cross and flog her. Great for those type scenes.

I had a few visits to a great dom who was semi-retired and divided her time between our fair city and some distance relatives villa in Italy. My sessions with her included some great enema sessions, she in a sexy nurses outfit, which became skimpier as the session progressed-but in the enema room there was a St. Andrew’s Cross, I never did experience it -she did have a submissive female friend and I nearly put together a session with her, where I’d be dominant and would secure her to the cross, taking directions from our hostess. Unfortunately our “hostess “ made Italy her permanent home, and I missed a couple of very interesting sessions!

Yes I have, back when I was in college. Part of a role play.

Hubby made one that could be broken down and stored under the bed. We tossed it when we moved - I was concerned about the grands finding it. It was fun though. I’ve been floggged on it and it’s good for being immobilized and groped etc. I prefer tied to the bed spread eagle though.

Yup! Strapped down and have all sorts of nasty things done to me. My favourite is to be put on it upside down. Being explored and bum plumbed in this position is the best.

Those who have been on one, what does it facilitate other than spanking and groping?

@XR171 How often did you and your wife use it? was it used on anyone else? I wonder if the people that bought the home tried it

@William5 We used our exam table a lot more often and it was used on others here and there when we hosted. The people renting our house who are also friends of ours have probably use it but we haven't asked.

@XR171 I would ask. Enquiring minds want to know.

Used it at local playroom and dungeon I use sometimes. Some of my previous partners have been open to being tied down, oiled and teased while getting spanked or whipped on the cross. The beauty of the St.Andrews cross is how versatile you can use it and certainly not restricted to just one person. You can take turns switching places with your Partner on a fun kinky night. Your body feel so exposed especially in a spread eagle position lol

I had my first experience on one about a month ago. My Domme and her sub/junior Domme (Liza) took me (their "novice sub") to a community event back in June. It was at a house out in the country with a dungeon with several rooms in the basement. There were maybe 20-25 people at the party - Dommes & Doms with single or multiple subs.

Anyway, upon arrival I was immediately told to strip and and was escorted to one of the dungeon rooms that had a medical exam table, a St Andrew's cross (with leather padding), and several chairs and a folding table with stuff on it covered with a sheet. There were 4 subs in the room, two women and two men (including me) - all of us naked. After meeting the dungeon master and discussing safety protocols, the dungeon master directed the two female subs to fasten me to the cross. My ankles and wrists were strapped in accordingly. Then the cross was tilted back (maybe 15-20 degrees) and a blindfold was put over my eyes. I heard, but did not see, someone direct one of the other subs to to put on a hospital gown and sit on the exam table. The other two were told to stand against the wall and await commands.

After a bit, a voice said "is this one your's?" And I heard my Domme reply. They spoke softly and then I heard a female voice purr in my ear "Comfy" and when I started to reply both of my nipples were twisted hard and I was told to "STFU!" and the evening progressed from there.

I remained blindfolded the entire time. I was ignored, fondled, licked, slapped, tickled, hit with what felt like a riding crop, verbally praised and subsequently degraded (all stuff i had agreed to previously - although not in detail - no one ever encroached on my "no-go" areas/activities).... At one point I was fondled & stimulated to erection only to then be doused with ice water. There was liberal use of e-stim, ice, and heat (and it was excruciatingly wonderful).

At one point, I listened while the medical exam took place on one of the female subs in front of an audience - it sounded humiliating, a little painful, and alternating wonderful - judging from the intensity of her orgasms. During the exam, one or more people would fondle me or stroke me, and then leave me alone.

After the exam was done it was time for orgasm denial with me - with plenty of humiliation, derogatory statements, and suitable punishments. I never knew the size or make up of the audience - and that was one of the things my Domme knew that I wanted.

Overall, I thought it was a great experience. I was sore and bruised the next day (as I expected). My Domme & junior Domme were both pleased and rewarded me appropriately.

Everyone is different, so make sure you discuss limits & desires before getting strapped in - and make sure that there is someone you trust completely present.
