Necrophilia

Necrophilia is the practice of having sex with corpses. Necrophilia, a Greek word that means “love of the dead”. It is a very common act among serial killers. Various well-known serial killers have been diagnosed with necrophilia, such as: Earl Leonard Nelson a/k/a “Gorilla Man”, which is known as the first American serial sex killer of the twentieth century. Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein and many more among the ones mentioned. Although necrophilia seems to be rare and uncommon in our society, it is a very common disorder within a serial killers profile.
Necrophilia may sound like a rare illness due to the fact that it isn’t being reported the way it should be. When necrophilies take action, the most common place they break into is funeral homes. A reason for not reporting these acts would certainly be that funeral homes do not want the publicity. When funeral homes report that there has been a break in and that bodies have been disturbed, no one will want to bring their deceased friends and family members, fearing that their loved one will be taken advantage of. The press/media is an effective way of informing and educating the public about what goes on in our society. Necrophilia is hidden from society beca

Necrophilia may sound as a rare and obscure illness, but in reality it is very common in the mind of a serial killer. In an interview I conducted with sexual deviance psychologist, Matthew Rosenberg, MSW, CSW, he advised me that the major reason why necrophilia isn’t in the media is because it is an asocial behavior. He further advised me that another major reason why necrophilia isn’t in the news as often as it occurs is due to the fact that many cases are just secondary violations. In other words, someone is murdered and then the body is disturbed. Investigators are not going to say that the body was violated. They will only say that a murder has occurred. Matthew Rosenberg also advised that the reason why necrophilies choose to have intercourse with the dead is because they are in control of their surroundings. Further, he advised with his expertise in the field of sexual deviance, that necrophilia is a common illness and with a little research it can be proven.

There is nothing rare and obscure about necrophilia. Look into a serial killers profile and various types of paraphilias will show up in their records, including necrophilia. Many necrophiliacs are individuals who experienced some type of abuse during their childhood. In which might be the cause of the asocial behavior as adults. Necrophilies also have unusual obsessions and fantasies. Society turns away from those horrifying acts that are immoral and unethical when in reality they should be educating the American citizens by advising us of all the devious behaviors that surround us on a day-to-day basis.

Research indicates that 90% of necrophiliacs are primarily heterosexual males. 60% of necrophilies were diagnosed with personality disorders and 10% of those diagnosed with personality disorders are also psychotic. Funeral homes are not the only places where necrophilies are attracted. They are very popular within hospitals, mortuaries, funeral parlors, and cemeteries. Necrophilies are attracted to the odor of blood and the feel for dead skin. Some necr
