Mediaeval devices

Medieval devices** is a collective term for any torture devices that are based on those that were used in medieval times.

There are a number of these that are still used today in BDSM play. These tend to be made of either metal or wood or a combination of the two, and alone tend to be very harsh.

A lot of these devices tend to be concentrated upon the head or genital area, but another common or that involves the entire body would be the rack, which stretches the body.
