Love often leads us to do crazy things. According to a study entitled The Neuroimaging of Love, the effects of falling in love can be compared to those of drugs such as cocaine, and it leads to a state of euphoria that makes us lose our mind. Maybe because there are stories like this Christian Gray, you do not want to know NEVER.

It could be the Christian Gray of flesh and blood, because the Italian lived, until recently, in a palace, and was a handsome and millionaire businessman known among the elite of his country.

As in the story of E.L James, the money is too much for Boettcher, but like Gray, he has bad memories of his childhood. At age 6 his father left him and that made the Italian attempt suicide at 14.

Since then Alexander developed a dangerous and particular taste: the practice of sadomasochism.

Despite being married to a Ukrainian, Boettcher made Martina Levajo, 23, his sex slave and forced her to call him "The King".

Reality surpasses fiction

There are things that sound very good in fiction but in real life they are not so fun or exciting. And although being the sex slave of someone in Gray's 50 Shades book may seem appealing, it did not happen that way with the story of Martina and Boettcher.

The couple has just been sentenced to 14 years in prison for disfiguring the face with acid to Pietro Barbini, one of Martina's ex-soldiers.

And it is that Alexander believed that for his submissive to be completely pure, he should commit this type of acts against his ex-partners.

In fact, the attack against Pietro was not the first, beforethe couple sprayed acid on the face of Stefano Savi, a student who had to be hospitalized for 3 months and needed a stem cell treatment.

His real goal was, supposedly, the fashion photographer Giuluano Carparelli, who once kissed Martina in a nightclub.

While Martina swore allegiance, Alexander still had multiple partners and never left his wife, because he believed that men can be unfaithful while women have to be pure.
 

It's a crime?

A room full of sadomasochistic objects was found in Alexander's palace after the police arrested him. In the place they found whips, handcuffs, combat knives, acid, scalpels and chloroform.

When one of the policemen questioned Boettcher why he had a scalpel, the millionaire responded:

Some girls ask me if I can carve my initial on their body.

It's a crime?

Once arrested, Alexander wanted to separate himself from acid attacks on Martina's partners, and she insisted all along that the millionaire was innocent, another sign of his devotion and submission to him.

The medical diagnosis

The psychiatrists who lived with them confirm that both are deeply manipulative and self-centered. In the case of Boettcher he is also sadistic, obsessive and controlling.

Giuseppe Gennari, judge who condemned the couple, was surprised by the acts committed:

"I have dealt with criminals of all kinds, from gangsters, assailants and terrorists to professional assassins, but I had never had a feeling of danger as intense as now.

There is a void in the soul of these people that drives them to act with absolute disregard for the fundamental values ​​common to the human species ”.

Alexander and Martina have just become parents of a child who will be taken to an adoption center, because Judge Gennari believes that it is better that the child never know who their real parents are.

This real life story shows us that this kind of love is not romantic, as we are led to believe in the book of"50 shades of gray" . In fact, a large part of the criticism towards the text is that it really has nothing to do with the sexual practice of sadomasochism.
