Necrophilia

Necrophilia is a paraphilia characterized by sexual attraction to or sexual acts involving corpses. It's considered a rare and extreme form of paraphilic disorder that involves a desire for sexual contact with the deceased. This condition is illegal in most jurisdictions and is widely regarded as unethical and psychologically disordered.

Additional Information

Necrophilia is classified as a paraphilic disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). It's important to note that having thoughts about necrophilia doesn't necessarily mean a person will act on them. The causes of necrophilia are not fully understood, but may involve a combination of psychological factors, including a desire for an unresisting partner, reuniting with a romantic partner, or a sense of comfort from the dead.

Mental health professionals typically treat necrophilia through therapy, including cognitive-behavioral approaches and sometimes medication. The goal is often to help individuals manage their urges and develop healthier sexual interests.
