21. This Dude Mistook His Lover’s Attempts to Strangle Him to Death as an Exciting New Kink to Spice Their Lovemaking

Sada Abe’s infatuation with her lover Kichizo Ishida became an obsession. She started getting jealous whenever Ishida returned to his wife and began thinking of murdering him to keep him forever to herself. She bought a knife and brandished it during their next marathon sex session, but Ishida thought it was role-playing and was turned on rather than scared. That threw Sada off. Later, she again steeled herself to kill him and tried to strangle him with a Geisha belt during sex.

That only turned Ishida on even more, as he mistook it for a new kink to spice their lovemaking. He begged her to continue, which again threw Abe off. Finally, Ishida fell asleep, at which point Abe gathered her nerve one more time, and strangled her sleeping lover to death with a geisha scarf. Then she took out the knife and castrated him. Next, she carved her name on his arm, and with his blood wrote “Sada and Kichizo together” on the bedsheets before fleeing the crime scene.

A lifelong history buff, I developed a particular passion for WW2 history as a child, when I spent hours listening to my grandfather, enraptured, as he recounted his wartime experiences in the British East African Campaign and with the British 8th Army in North Africa.

I graduated with a history BA from George Mason University, then went on to get a JD from the University of Virginia School of Law. After lawyering for a decade, I moved to sunny Rio de Janeiro and a less demanding career, opening a tourism agency in Copacabana.

A big chunk of my free time is spent blogging (you can follow me on Quora https://www.quora.com/profile/Khalid-Elhassan ) or freelance writing, mostly about my favorite subject, history.
