The beach

The ocean scars the coast across a body - a lone, weak human spread between the land and the wake - he holds on to the sand, struggling against the tugs of the dark void of unknown suffocation. It terrifies him. There was a time when he had a rope to hold on to. It was strong and faded into the distant forest at the edge of the beach. In to the unknown, but nonetheless a place where he wanted to go. Less people were there because it was a place to be desired. For the majority floated in the sea, treading constantly to stay afloat, traveling where the ocean's currents dictated. If you were on land, you traveled your own direction; and you didn't have to work so hard to stay afloat.

But between these two places - the land and the sea - is the beach. This is where the struggle is forged by many who dream of better places. Laying on their stomachs, fighting for oxygen like washed up fish in the shallows, these people risk their lives to claw at the dry sand - to hold the land in their hands. Freedom smells like salt; but they'll dehydrate if they fight too long on the beach - they must progress or recede.

He had a rope. His father had threw it to him. But the tide receded - pulling him out. The rope was far away now, and he didn't know if he could make it until the tide brought him back up. There was always the option to stand up - to walk - but he'd never done it by himself. He didn't know how, so he crawled. The sand was wet and loose - and the current had sent him to a part of the beach that was steep - it was difficult.

Not only that, the current had a history of taking him places that would make it more difficult for him to tolerate a place such as the beach. Fuck the current. This beach is killing me.

Corpsefucking

Necrophilia, also called thanatophilia or necrolagnia or corpsefucking, is a paraphilia characterized by a sexual attraction to corpses. The word is artificially derived from Ancient Greek: νεκρός (nekros; "corpse," or "dead") and φιλία (philia; "love"). The term appears to have originated from Krafft-Ebing's 1886 work Psychopathia Sexualis.

Figuratively, the term "necrophilia" describes an inordinate desire to control another person, usually in the interpersonally controlling as to be better-suited to relationships with nonresponsive people.

Cause and prevalence

Virtually no research has been conducted regarding the prevalence of necrophilic attraction among humans. Klaf and Brown (1958) commented that, although rarely described, necrophilic fantasies may occur more often than is generally supposed.

Rosman and Resnick (1989) theorized that either of the following situations could be antecedents to necrophilia (pp. 161):

  1. The necrophile develops poor self-esteem, perhaps due in part to a significant loss;
    (a) He (usually male) is very fearful of rejection by women and he desires a sexual object who is incapable of rejecting him; and/or
    (b) He is fearful of the dead, and transforms his fear of the dead—by means of reaction formation—into a desire for the dead.
  2. He develops an exciting fantasy of sex with a corpse, sometimes after exposure to a corpse.

The authors also reported that, of their sample of 'necrophiliacs,' 68% were motivated by a desire for an unresisting and unrejecting partner; 21% by a want for reunion with a lost partner; 15% by sexual attraction to corpses; 15% by a desire for comfort or to overcome feelings of isolation; and 12% by a desire to remedy low self-esteem by expressing power over a corpse (pp. 159).

Minor modern researches conducted in England have shown that some necrophiles tend to choose a dead partner after failing to create romantic attachments with the living.

Consensuality issue

Although obtaining consent is not usually considered a prerequisite for activity with non-living material, sexual activity with a human corpse is taboo and frequently labelled 'abuse,' based on the presumption that the person would not have consented to the act while alive, and that it would thus constitute a profound and disturbing disrespect for their remains to be treated in a way other than their wishes.

Although virtually all human societies condemn sexual activity with the dead as a form of symbolic disrespect, several groups, individuals, and publications have pushed for the legalization of necrophilic acts. "The NecroErotic," for example, argues that "necrophiliacs have as much right to engage in their orgasmic release of choice as do 'normal' couples," and that "all 'rights' cease the moment a person draws their last breath."

Prevention

Although no person may defend themselves physically after death, there are precautions which can be taken place to prevent the abuse of one's corpse:
  1. Being buried in a sealed casket in a protected cemetery.
  2. Filling the vagina with an impenetrable substance.
  3. Setting booby traps.
  4. Cremation.

Notable Corpsefuckers

Amognst Asians

Main article: Asian Sex Fetishes

Of all current civilizations in the world, eastern Asia has the most documented cases on corpsefucking.

On September 15, 2006 Korean officials dismissed charges of attempted sexual assault against three men accused of trying to dig up a woman's body to have sex with the corpse. Twins Pai and Long Tong, 20, and Moko "Mikey" Yanagita, 20, were arrested after an alleged attempt to dig up the body of 20-year-old Lin Lai who was killed Aug. 27 in a motorcycle crash. Authorities said the three were not acquainted with Lai but had seen an obituary with her photo.

Subdivisions

From the moment of death, a human body's physical state will deteriorate over time. Most necropiliacs desire a corpse that is relatively fresh, however there are some that desire a corpse in the putrefaction stage of decomposition and even the "bare bones" stage. Because of this, it has been argued that necrophilia should be divided into sub catagories.

The exclusive necrophilia periodical Deathfuck uses a few common terms to diversify:
  1. Classicing or Mainstreaming are terms used to describe engaging in sexual activity with a fresh corpse.
  2. Putrid Corpsefucking or PC is a term used to describe engaging in sexual activity with a corpse in the putrefaction stage of decomposition. Other slang terms are Grannyfucking and LGC (loosie-goosie corpsefucking).
  3. BBC (Bare-bones corpsefucking) or simply boning are terms to describe the engagement of sexual activity with the remains of a human skeleton.
In addition, according to Egyptian historians, instances of sex acts with mummified human remains have been documented. While this is very rare, mummyfucking is the choice term to identify such cases.

Skullfucking

There is some controversy surrounding wheather or not skullfucking should be divided into epidermal and post-epidermal catagories. The term bare bones skullfucking or BBS has cought on in the alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.cpsfkng.bbs newsgroup, which has worried subscribers in the alt.binaries.pictures.sex.skullfuck newsgroup. Board member skullfucker79 says:

I don't want people to think that I actually fuck real skulls - that's sick. I just want to stick my cock in my girlfriend's face and pound away, that's all.
