What compels people to do it? Is it cuz they want sex or cuz they are really honestly attracted to dead bodies? Yikes! is it very common now? Was it common at any point in history? Can someone tell me the history of it?
Oh I want to read this book!
“R. E. L Masters, former director of the Library of Sex Research, and writer Eduard Lea composed a comprehensive history of sexual violence in their book Perverse Crimes in History: Evolving Concepts of Sadism, Lust-murder, and Necrophilia—From Ancient to Modern Times. In the book, published in 1963, the authors discuss the notions of vampirism and werewolf psychosis in terms of “necrosadism” as erotic gratification from death-related acts or fantasies. Fascination with blood, sexual activities with corpses and dismemberment of corpses are all considered aspects of necrophilia. The authors look back to such murderers as Gilles de Rais, Elizabeth Bathory, and Peter Kurten, but offer the details of relatively unknown cases as well”
For example, in 1890 in Paris, a woman was found dead in her home, her son sleeping next to her. She had been raped and then thoroughly disemboweled—by him, it turns out—and he had managed this by reaching into her vagina, puncturing the organs and pulling the intestines back out by the same route. He threw them over her shoulder. Then he lay down on that bed and went to sleep. The autopsy revealed that the mother had died before any of this occurred. He had ravaged her corpse. The young man was sent to an asylum.
In an account called Crimes of the Genital Sense (1900), a man named Louis fell in love with a married woman and went to her home when her husband was absent. When she tried to defend herself, he split her head with an axe and then raped her corpse while it was still warm. Afterward he dismembered her and roasted her flesh in the oven, consuming her heart, one breast and her genitals.
The surprising thing discovered from this study, Masters says, is how often the corpses are not fresh but rather are dug up from the grave in a putrefied or mummified condition. Some even like only the bones. Those who actually feed on decaying dead bodies are known as necrophagists, as opposed to cannibals, who prefer fresh meat or who consume dead loved ones for spiritual purposes. One man merely wanted to eat the nail trimmings from a corpse, another merely to lick the sexual parts—and was still doing so with his exhumed inamorata even as the corpse was falling apart. One woman whose family had mostly died would go into the family crypt to devour the genitals of her male relatives.
He claims that women would not derive as much satisfaction as men, since the sexual act is more difficult with a dead male, but he probably had not heard about the pumps that some female morgue workers have devised in recent years to correct this “problem.”
Psychologically healthy people participate in human relationships, he points out, by receiving and giving pleasure. With a corpse, only one gets pleasure, indicating an immature and narcissistic ego.
Ewwwwwww more than half of the cases the books (in the link) studied involved people who worked in a morgue or in some other thingy related to the funeral industry. Ewwwwwwwwww why would someone want a job like that, I always thought they;d have to be desperate or really desire something like this. Ewww like what about all those people who work in graveyeards in pakistan and stuff? I dont wanna have my grave dug up and stuff by them.
recently a minor in NY ran over an elderly women in the neighbor hood with his vehicle and then fornicated with the dead bleeding body of that woman. it was in the newspapers.
