Necrophilia

The desire for sexual congress with a corpse. Comes from the Greek word nekros, meaning corpse.

Necrophilia is a severe but rare sexual disorder, or paraphilia, in which sexual excitement is derived from contact with female (and sometimes male) corpses removed from graves. Necrophiles are almost always psychotic males who have no interest in normal sexual relations. In some cases, they themselves kill the victims before assaulting or mutilating them.

Autonecrophilia: The seeking of sexual satisfaction by imagining oneself to be a corpse.

Necromania: A pathological desire for sexual relations with a corpse usually accompanied by a morbid interest in everything related to dead bodies, such as autopsies, funerals, morgues, and cemeteries.
