Sure, this phenomenon isn't exclusive to 'Just'
medieval torture device, but why do these dark
tools make such a seamless slide from pain to
pleasure, Dood?
Topic: Pear of Anguish, Wooden Horse, Cat o' nine tails, Pillory/Stocks- Why are so many medieval torture device, Sex toys today, Dood?

The right amount of stimulation in the right place can be nice. Too much and it'll quickly become the very opposite of nice. With some modifications and appropriate use, tools meant to administer stimulation for evil purposes can be used for good.
BDSM includes kinks for deriving pleasure from pain (or simulating punishment as a form of pleasure). So tools and devices used to inflict pain or punishment can, in the right context/circumstance, be used to derive pleasure.

Sounds like medicine if you ask me. A little can be a cure, a lot can be poison.
A medicine for sensation! And Love this view by the way, wonder if it applies to any
other things used in bed other than the inquisition's toolbox, Dood!

I've always wondered about that to be honest, m8.
What "Is" pain's connection to lust? Wouldn't getting hurt Hurt?
Could look it up and get a stale answer more like looking at a
textbook but, I would LOVE to ask someone
who's into it, First hand, Dood!

I think for a lot of peeps it's just fun to be in a sort of simulated peril scenario. you're never in any actual danger because you're with a person you trust to not actually hurt you.
pain usually sucks because it's associated with an injury, ailment, and the like, but pain can be fun when there's no actual (long-term) injury, just like fear can be fun when there's no actual danger (see: horror, rollercoasters).

Having a hard time wrapping my head around that,
but the horror movie example really helped. Thanks, Dood!

So, it's like a story. With someone you love,
getting into some roleplay to say, and while
The Spankingtm by itself stings, it's o.k since
The Spankingtm was done by someone you 'know'
will not harm you. Giving more context to Aftercare,
reinforcing that bond and oath to do no harm, Dood.

If I'm right, I get the interest when it comes to close partners,
but what about the peeps willing to get nine-tailed'd by capable
strangers? I heard talk of "putting their back into it" and
"Giving a rub with the paddle and small pats to increase sensitivity."
That makes me think there's more to it than roleplay. That there's a lust
in pain in the "right" way. Like a feel-good pain if that makes sense.
One that has you wanting more. Is that even possible, Dood?

Most of those "Medieval torture devices" were art pieces invented during the Enlightenment to demonize the so-called "Dark Ages". Many would have been impossible to make with the skills and technologies available at the time like the Iron Maiden.

Huh, If that's the case, I'd beat my rings
The Pear is an art piece. As for the others...
I don't know, two planks of wood and cloth with
a handle seems pretty possible, Dood

the lust of mankind will never be truly understood

While true that a wooden rack or a whip isn’t beyond medieval craftsmanship, damn near all of the devices we picture today when we think "medieval torture equipment for sex dungeons" (Pear of Anguish included) are either 19th-century fabrications or massively exaggerated "reconstructions". The modern BDSM versions are riffs on those modern myths, not replicas of widely-used medieval tools. People sexualize symbols of powerlessness and punishment, so naturally the fantasy versions survive in kink while the historians keep facepalming.
