                              Connecting the Dots  (10/4/2008)

Although this site and the paper 'zine that preceded it covers nearly every imaginable aspect of necrophilia, it occurred to me recently that the goals, philosophy and logical reasoning behind the NecroErotic Mission have never been concisely summed up in one article. The purpose of this piece is to briefly explain the core beliefs of the Mission and put them into a logical, easy to follow order. The articles referred to in this essay can be referenced in the 'Articles1' section of this website.

One of the core points of the NecroErotic Mission is that necrophilia, far from being an 'anti social' or 'sick' act is, in and of itself, a positive and benevolent action that can benefit society in many ways so long as it is carried out in the proper context. To briefly recap the positive attributes of necrophilia:

* A person harboring pent up aggression could harmlessly take

out their rage on a corpse rather than an actual living person.

* People of all ages could enjoy erotic pleasure without fear of

pregnancy, disease or rejection via an encounter with an embalmed

and sanitized cadaver.

* Those who prefer 'under aged' partners could have sex with the corpses of

'minors' who died in accidents or from suicide.

* Funeral expenses would be alleviated by allowing people to sell their

loved one's cadavers to necrophiles.

* Necrophilic brothels would create clerical jobs and generate tax revenue

in the communities hosting them.

* Cannibals, Satanists/Occult practitioners and Vampires could enjoy the

benefits of legalized delicacies and bone sales.

* Loneliness and perceived isolation could be at least partially assuaged by

allowing people to have physical contact with cadavers.

Pointing in particular to the first and last points above, it can be argued that bottled up anger and hatred along with feelings of being alone and unwanted are two of the leading causes of the break down of social order and society in general. If indeed the practice of necrophilia could help to diminish these twin evils, we all would be better off in the long run.

Once the above ideas are accepted, it then becomes apparent that any obstacles to legalized, orderly necrophilic practices are to be considered anathema to the public good. Likewise, the promotion of positive attitudes toward necrophilia is something to be lauded. It also follows that we should pay due respect and tribute to those who have furthered the cause of necrophilia through their actions and/or writings on the subject. The argument that we cannot or should not praise admitted murderers (such as Ed Gein and Jeff Dahmer) seems reasonable at first, however it falls flat upon closer inspection. It is entirely possible to commend a person for their positive actions while at the same time disavowing the negative aspects of their lives. We name cities, universities and an entire state for General and President George Washington. The founder of our nation was a slaveholder, yet no one seriously believes these tributes to him translate into an endorsement of the institution of slavery. In that same spirit, while we condemn the evil deeds perpetrated by certain necrophiles, we should not condemn the act of necrophilia in the process. That would be, as the old phrase dictates, like throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Those who partake in necrophilia and related acts (i.e., grave robbery, organ harvesting, bone collecting and pseudonecrophilic role play) are essentially committing acts of insurrection against the unfair and counterproductive ‘morality’ that prevails in today's world. It needs to be hastily added, however, that practice need not follow theory in this instance. Law breaking is not encouraged at any level on the NecroErotic site. This will be elaborated on further in this essay.

It also follows that if we accept that notion that necrophilia can have a positive impact on the lives of individuals and society at large, we owe it to ourselves to learn more about the subject at hand. The NecroErotic website is loaded with contemporary facts and news items, references to books and articles concerning necrophilia as well as historical quotes and opinion pieces. Readers are also strongly encouraged to attend at least one funeral or wake in their life time to view the dead first hand. There is nothing illegal, 'risky' or disruptive about this practice so long as it is done during public viewing times and the person attending merely observes the service.

People reading this are perfectly justified in responding with the phrase, "But necrophilia is considered to be a psychological disorder of the mind! It's not normal!" To this, I can only answer that: #1. Homosexuality was also considered by 'respected' mental health professionals to be a 'disorder' until the early 1970's, yet one would be hard pressed to find a 'reputable' psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker who would cling to those beliefs in 2008. #2. Free spirited and enlightened pioneers in any society are seldom considered 'normal' during their life times and are, in fact, often persecuted for their beliefs and/or actions (as are necrophiles in today's repressed society)

I have also been asked why I would 'bother' being the spokesperson for a sexual interest that is considered abhorrent and revolting by the vast majority of the world's population. The reasons (as explained in greater detail in the essay, "Anatomy of a Sexual Psychosis - or, Why I Do What I Do") can be summed up in three sentences:

* Like anyone else, I seek to find others who share my interests and

tastes.

* The facts as outlined above NEED to be available to the world's

population should they desire to expand their horizons

* Necrophobes and other sexual puritans are quite vocal in their own

opinions. There is no reason why I should not be given

equal time to present the other side of the story.

Lastly, it needs to be added that I in no way, shape or form encourage ANYONE to break the laws of their area! Before any arguments, philosophies, facts or opinions are even presented in the NecroErotic website, the reader is confronted by the following statement on the homepage:

"Important Notice!! : Nothing on this website is to be construed as encouraging the reader to commit a crime, violent or otherwise. The ideas contained herein are mere reflections of my inner thoughts, opinions on how the world ought to be and/or accounts of my life's experiences. If you choose to break the law (for better or worse) it is your decision alone!" If there is any clearer way to alert readers that this is a legitimate website that does not encourage criminality in any form, I would like to hear it!

I've done my best in this relatively brief article to capsulize the essential elements of the NecroErotic Mission and to present the logical arguments for the same in a step by step format. It is my sincere hope that adherents, detractors and neutral observers alike have gained a better understanding of this Mission in particular and necrophilia in general after reading it. Thank you for your time!

Hail Ed Gein! Hail Sergeant Bertrand! Viva Necrophilia!

MichiganGhoul, Minister of Necrophilia.
