Strange question, I suppose..

[pauliwauli2]

What is the scientific term for having sex with a dead body? I need it for an essay. Thank you!!

[dot.hawkes]

necrophilia I think.

[jno]

necrophilia. It can also be used metaphorically to mean over-attachment to the past (a love of dead things, so to speak)

[unruliejulie]

yep, necrophilia!

[dot.hawkes]

not that jno, jules and i are experts or anything lol

[unruliejulie]

well, dot, it brings a whole new meaning to having a stiff one! lol

[sleepyj]

yuck how popular do you think that is . ?

[johnnyedge]

I have experience of this kind of sex with my ex wife, the only thing was her body was still warm. (divorced now).
She found it hard to work out why I sent her flowers after sex, for years she thought it was romantic, after the divorce I told her the real reason.

[sleepyj]

lol thats sooooooooo mean but funny she might of thought your rubbish at it :0

[pauliwauli2]

haha loving the funny answers!!! :D thank you - not the sort of question you ask your mum y'know...

HAH dead boring - thankfully it's not an essay on necrophilia (see! i'm using the technical word:P) it's an essay on the poem "havishum" by carol ann duffy. it's very good. but yeah thanks!

What's the poem?

[ELVIS68]

Here`s one....

There was an old pervert called Fred
Who had a screw loose in his head
He thought it was cool
To whip out his tool
And do naughty things to the dead

[stewey]

The real answer, and I'm dead certain about this, is "copulnectrophiliating".

[pauliwauli2]

Bird, this is the poem:


Beloved sweetheart *******. Not a day since then
I haven't wished him dead. Prayed for it
so hard I've dark green pebbles for eyes,
ropes on the back of my hands I could strangle with.

Spinster. I stink and remember. Whole days
in bed cawing Nooooo at the wall; the dress
yellowing, trembling if I open the wardrobe;
the slewed mirror, full-length, her, myself, who did this

to me? Puce curses that are sounds not words.
Some nights better, the lost body over me,
my fluent tongue in its mouth in its ear
then down till suddenly bite awake. Love's

hate behind a white veil; a red balloon bursting
in my face. Bang. I stabbed at a wedding cake.
Give me a male corpse for a long slow honeymoon.
Don't think it's only the heart that b-b-b-breaks.

"some nights better, the lost body over me" - this has connotations of necrophilia!

[pauliwauli2]

there once was a man called dave
who found a dead ***** in a cave


ARGH can't remember the rest!!! used to find it so funny. err.. i think the last line might be something about not having to pay. oh well! hehe

[jno]

...I have to admit
I'm a bit of a **it
But think of the money I save

[jno]

the 'philia' bit is from the Greek for love; it sometimes gets used, as in necrophilia, to mean sex, but this poem is about anger and revenge... but I guess necrophilia is still the nearest word.
