A regular examination of the darker side of sex.
This Week:
I Fuck Dead People
When everyone you meet is tattooed, pierced, wearing collars, chains, black leather and sleeping with two, three or even twenty men and women what can you do to stand out? When everyone you know is bisexual and S/M is fodder for mainstream movies what sexual taboo is left? How about necrophilia? Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary defines necrophilia as "1. Abnormal interest in corpses" and "2. Sexual intercourse with a dead body." Necrophilia is thought to be one of the rarer paraphilias with less than two percent of the living population of sexual deviants taking joy from the dead. Below are some interesting facts about necrophilia.
Little known facts about mortuaries: A friend of mine who worked at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, a cemetery in Los Angeles, told me that after the embalming fluids are injected into the dead bodies, they pull a pair of queen size pantyhose up over the entire body in order to keep the fluid inside. Apparently, she found this out after asking why the cemetery kept ordering so many cases of queen sized pantyhose. Another interesting tidbit about Forest Lawn: On September 17, 1995 two kids broke into the Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills site and had sex with two women corpses, one in a casket the other in a preparation room. One of the kids was Brandon Christopher, the great-nephew of former secretary of state Warren Christopher.
Most famous necrophiliac: Karen Greenlee. While working at a mortuary in Sacramento Greenlee absconded with the body of a dead boy. Left in the casket with him was a confessional note written by Greenlee, which also stated that she had had her way with twenty to thirty corpses. Greenlee also states that sex with the dead happens much more than people think.
Best place to find dead bodies: The morgue, obviously. If you are really interested in communing with the dead be prepared to put some time into getting a job. Go to the National Funeral Directors Web site and find out the requirements for the state that you live in. If you live in one of the few U.S. States with laws against necrophilia - Texas, Georgia, Florida, Rhode Island, Arizona and Iowa - then you might want to consider moving. Another bad part about being a mortician seems to be the salary. The median salary for a mortician in the United States is only $31,000 a year. But think of all the benefits!
What would Freud say: Necrophiliacs want to be with the ultimate submissive. The deceased cannot complain about the length of love making, the force of your love making, and no cuddling afterwards.

It may not be talked about, and it may be one of the last taboos but that doesn't mean famous people aren't doing it. Juan Peron kept a dead Evita, wrapped in plastic sheets, in his dining room. And Edgar Allen Poe's famous poem "Annabelle Lee" is about a man who sleeps with his dead lover in her grave. Bet you didn't know you were in such good company.
