Erotic Martyrdom....from the affective art of the middle ages to contemporary fascinations with historical icons of spirituality; e.g. one of my favorites - Saint Sebastian: Or A Splendid Readiness For Death includes the work of Wolfgang Tillmans, Catherine Opie, David Wojnarowicz, Louise Bourgeois, Chris Burden and others.
"...a whole ascetic, martyrizing, and sacrificial Christian tradition has magnified the victimized aspect of that offering [Christ's death] by eroticizing both pain and suffering, physical as well as mental, as much as possible."
-Kristeva
