When I arrived in Perugia as a 20-year-old, I was sexually active, but pretty sheltered. I could count my intimate partners on one hand.
But when I was accused of murder, my rather unremarkable sexuality was distorted and magnified into something deviant.

They painted me as a femme fatale, and the courtroom and the media ignored the lack of evidence and focused on things like the joke vibrator a friend had bought me, or what underwear I purchased. All to support a fantastical theory about a sex game gone wrong.
The misdirected focus on my sexuality was one the things that bothered me most about the trials. I could have been a professional dominatrix and it shouldn't have mattered. That still wouldn’t make me a killer.
It was unfair, and not just to me...Looking back on those years, I started to wonder, how does the BDSM community feel about their lifestyle being used to vilify someone accused of murder?
I started to wonder, what does a sex game gone right look like? What even is a sex game? Does it even involve sex? I decided to find out.
So I went to DomCon to meet @THEMistressCyan. I got flogged on a St. Andrews Cross. I tasted subspace, and learned some remarkable things about the BDSM world and about myself.
