Torture: The Pear
 

1.
Quite a versatile tool, the pear, it is used upon those of foul tounge or sexual practice. For those who speak heresy, it is inserted
deep into their mouth, for the male homosexual, their anus, and for the woman who would have sexual relations with that which is
not holy, their vagina. Once the pear has been inserted, it will then be opened with the twisting mechanism, and the segments
will be spread to their full capacity. Pay special heed also to the pointed tips themselves, for they are what will bring the victim
even more grief. These points, when opened, tear into the soft tissue of their throat, intestines, or cervix, depending on their
crime and gender. The damage done is beyond repair. It is because of this mauling that they will not suffer for long, but rather be
dropped into the realm that we fragile mortals cannot comprehend. And there they will be judged.

Such a lovely ornate piece. Well, the Pear was used by inserting it into the mouth, anus or vagina of the victim and then the pear
was expanded by use of the screw until the insides are ripped, stretched and mutilated, almost always causing death. The
pointed ends of the 'leaves' were good for ripping the throat, intestines or cervix open. There were three different type pears. The
vaginal pear was used on woman who had sex with the Devil or his familiars. The rectal was used on passive male homosexuals
and the oral pear was used on heretical preachers or lay persons found guilty of unorthodox practices.

This instrument was used in oral, as well as rectal and vaginal formats. The pear is forced into these parts of the body of the
victims and there expanded by force of the screw to the maximum opening. The inside of the cavity in question is mutilated
(beyond repair), usually resulting in death. The pointed prongs at the end of the segments rip into the throat, the intestines, or
the cervix. The oral pear was often inflicted upon heretical preachers, but also on people guilty of unorthodox tendancies; the
rectal pear awaited passive male homosexuals, and the vaginal one for women guilty of sexual union with Satan or his familiars.
Since the soul of torture is male, and in the tendancy of his nature, the male is terrified by the mysteries of the female's cycles
and ability to reproduce, but above all by her inherent intellectual, emotional and sexual superiority, those organs that define her
essence have forever been subjected to his most savage barbarity, he being superior only in physical strength. Hence centuries
of witch hunts, with unspeakable methods.

Also known as the poire d'angoisse or "pear of anguish". The pear was a device that expanded after being inserted orally, anally,
or vaginally. It was used to rupture the sensitive membranes and tissues of these areas. With much of the damage being inside
the body cavity, "confessions" thus extracted could seem to be freely given. The different uses were usually determined by the
crime. A person commiting homosexual acts would be tortured anally. A woman refusing her wifely duties or is a convicted whore
would be subjected vaginally. Or a woman who talked out of tone at church or at her husband would get The Pear orally.
