Necrophilia The Story of Jeffrey Dahmer DeVry University Shelly Wheeler
As he is dragging his victim to the bedroom a few feet away, he whispers to himself with a smile on his face, I have something special in store for you! Surrounded by his souvenirs of freshly cleaned skulls, decomposing body parts with family photos hanging on the wall. He places the body gently on the bed, turns the lamp on, removes the clothing and starts cutting off his head. The smell of blood arouses him, the sexual urge for this victim is over whelming but he’s not ready yet, he has to stay in control. The head rolls off onto the floor as he positions the body into a more comfortable position and disemboweled the victim. He smells the blood up close has he’s kissing the intestines, the urge is too strong so he licks the organs still maintaining control of his sexually desires. As he swallows the victims blood he say’s your apart of me now. Right at that moment he knew it was time. He rapes the corpse repeatedly undergoing intense sexual gratification each time until he is too tired to continue. He places the head on his dresser and says, don’t worry we’ll do it all again tomorrow
Experts have subcategorized the paraphilia according to where it falls on the necrophilia spectrum. Necrophilia or Lust murders are homicides in which the offender stabs, cuts, pierces or mutilates the sexual regions or organs of the victim 's body. The sexual mutilation of the victim may include disembowelment, penetration of skin, displacement of the genitalia in both males and females. In Jeffrey Dahmer’s case, all of the psychodynamics of lust murder were acted out on his male victims, some of whom he cannibalized. This type of necrophilia also includes activities such as "posing" and "propping" of the body, the insertion of objects into the body cavities, anthropophagy (consumption of blood and/or flesh) and
