The Pear of Anguish


This one's a doozy. It's called the pear of anguish, and it kinda grosses me out. It's a device that is shaped like a pear (obviously...) and is made up of four door-like 'leaves.' A screw would be used to expanded and contract the leaves, and it would be used orally, rectally, and vaginally. It was used to punish anybody from homosexuals to witches, and I can't even imagine what it would be like. On the bright side, the pear of anguish did tend to be decorated nicely!

Oh my, that is scary! I hope that it is not used today.
