Necrophilia
Necrophilia is a sexual attraction or sexual act which involves corpses. It is classified as a paraphilia by ICD-10 published by WHO, and by the DSM–5 of the APA.
Etymology[edit]
The term "necrophilia" is derived from the Ancient Greek words νεκρός (nekros; "dead") and φιλία (philia; "love").
Classification[edit]
Necrophilia can be classified in different ways. Rosman and Resnick (1989) reviewed information from 34 cases of necrophilia describing the individuals' motivations for their behaviors: these individuals reported the desire to possess a non-resisting and non-rejecting partner (68%), reunions with a romantic partner (21%), sexual attraction to corpses (15%), comfort or overcoming feelings of isolation (15%), or seeking self-esteem by expressing power over a homicide victim (12%).
Legal aspects[edit]
The legality of necrophilia varies among countries. Some jurisdictions have specific laws against it, while others do not. In some places, it is considered a crime against decency or public morals, or a crime against the peace and dignity of the state, while in others it is considered a crime against the person of the deceased.
In popular culture[edit]
Necrophilia has been a topic in popular culture, appearing in various forms of media including literature, music, film, and television.
