Hello,

These are all my edits and not everything made it onto the page. But, this is everything that I have worked on!

Necrophilia originated from Greek terminology. The word comes from the Greek nekros, meaning "death" and philia, meaning "love or affection".

One must experience at least six months of recurring sexual urges or fantasies involving having sexual encounters with a corpse to be considered diagnosed with Necrophilia.

Motives
The most common motive for necrophiles is the possession of a partner who is unresisting or unrejecting. However, in the past, necrophiles have expressed to having more than one motive.

The authors reported that, of their sample of genuine necrophiliacs:


 * 68% were motivated by a desire for a non-resisting and non-rejecting partner;
 * 21% by a want for reunion with a lost partner;
 * 15% by sexual attraction to dead people;
 * 15% by a desire for comfort or to overcome feelings of isolation
 * 12% by a desire to remedy low self-esteem by expressing power over a corpse.

Lesser common motives include:


 * "unavailability of a living partner
 * compensation for a fear of women
 * belief that sex with a living woman was a mortal sin
 * need to achieve a feeling of total control over a sexual partner
 * compliance with a command hallucination
 * performance of a series of destructive acts
 * expression of polymorphous perverse sexual desires
 * need to perform limitless sexual activity"

Treatment
Treatment for Necrophilia is similar to that prescribed for most paraphilias. Besides advocating treatment of the associated psychopathology, there is little known on the the treatment of Necrophilia mainly due to the shame of it.

List of possible treatments:


 * Psychotherapy
 * Cognitive-behavioral Therapy
 * Orgasmic Reconditioning
 * Drug Therapy
 * Hypnosis
 * Medications
 * Antidepressants
 * Mood stabilizers
 * Anti-androgens
 * Phenothiazine

Treatment
Not much has been written about the treatment of necrophilia. There has not been a good amount of necrophiles to establish an effective treatment. However, based on the data that is available, clinicians are suggested to:


 * determine whether or not a person actually has necrophilia
 * treat any psychopathology that is associated with necrophilia
 * establish psychotherapeutic rapport
 * if the person is male and has a heightened sex drive, provide him with anti androgens
 * if the person is sexually isolated, help him find a normal sexual relationship
 * desensitization to help divert the necrophilic fantasies to a living object

Karen Greenlee
Karen Greenlee (born 1956) is a female necrophilic criminal who was convicted of stealing a 1975 Cadillac hearse at a funeral and having sex with the corpse inside of it. She worked as an apprentice embalmer in Sacramento, California. On December 17, 1979, she stole the hearse along with the body of a 33-year-old man that was inside. She was sentenced to pay a $255 fine and 11 days in prison.

In 1987, Greenlee gave a detailed interview called “The Unrepentant Necrophile” for Jim Morton’s (edited by Adam Parafrey) book Apocalypse Culture. In this interview, she stated that she had a preference for younger men and was attracted to the smell of blood and death. She considered Necrophilia an addiction. The interview was held in her apartment which was apparently a small studio filled with books, necrophilic drawings and satanic adornments. She also had written a confession letter in which she claimed to have abused 20-40 male corpses.

Jeffrey Dahmer
Jeffrey Dahmer was one of the most notorious American serial killers and sex offenders. He was also a necrophile. He was born in Wisconsin on May 21, 1960 and since an early age, he was fascinated with death  that he was in possession of different kinds of bones.

Signs showed that Dahmer had a depressing childhood. He was sexually abused by his neighbor and his parents divorced fought a lot and even favored his other brother over him.

In 1978, Dahmer killed his first victim. Since then he’s killed multiple people. He’s admitted to having oral sex with a few of his victims after they died. Dahmer even had a decomposing head and genitals in his fridge and ate them.

In August 1991, Dahmer was charged with 15 counts of murder and was eventually killed by his inmate, Christopher Scarver.

Ted Bundy
Ted Bundy (born in November 1946) was an American serial killer who raped and murdered a lot of young women during the 1970s. He also confessed to participating in necrophilic acts.

Bundy showed signs that he was emotional disturbed since he was little. He never knew who his father was and as a child, he was told that his mother was actually his sister. Once when Bundy was three years old, he placed knives in his aunt’s bed while she was sleeping.

Bundy’s killings began in January 1974 and carried on for the next four years. He committed murders in states from Washington to Florida. For a few of his victims, he would dump bodies to lay with their corps and have sexual intercourse with them.

He confessed to killing about 30 people, but sources believe that there might have been around 100. He was eventually sentenced to death.

Dennis Nilsen
Dennis Nilsen (born in November 1945) was a Scottish serial killer and necrophile who murdered about twelve young men between the years 1978-1983.

When Nilsen was very young, he had a really close relationship with his grandfather and when he passed away, Nilsen’s mother told him that they moved onto a better place. From then, he felt abandoned and had this notion that death was a better place. He became depressed and withdrawn since then.

There was one instance a few years later where Nilsen would dress himself up like a corpse and stare at himself in the mirror as this was sexually arousing to him.

In 1978, Nilsen began murdering people he met at gay bars and he killed his first victim then. He strangled the victim’s head in water to drown him and eventually had sex with his corpse. He became very sexually aroused that he kept the body underneath the floorboards of his apartment. He would occasionally bring it out and do leisure activities with it such as watching tv, bathing and having sex with it. After a couple months, he disposed his remains in a fire.

Nilsen committed 15 more murders that are similar and would continue to have sex with them or masturbate over their corpses. Instead of throwing the remains in the trash, he started to flush them down the toilet. Eventually, in 1983, the toilet got clogged and Nilsen had to call a plumber in which Nilsen got arrested. He was sentenced for life in jail.
