There's nothing wrong with certain forms of necrophilia, right?

So, I'm not actually trying to squash down any deep desires here. <br><br>I just had a conversation with a friend that got me thinking. He was telling me about a woman he dated that had worked in a funeral home. Apparently the story goes that they're only legally required to embalm a dead body if it's going to be buried without a casket. So, a lot of times, funeral homes will just skip actually embalming the body when they're burying a casket. Of course, they don't tell anyone this because they don't want the image of their casket casket being buried with a corpse that's going rot. <br><br>Anyway, after hearing this story I was reminded of the fact that many folks have sex with dead bodies in hospices, or morgues. I did some online research and it turns out to be more common than I thought, though there's little information available. <br><br>I did some more online research and it turns out that necrophilia is defined as sexual attraction to the dead. So, just having sex with someone who's dead doesn't necessarily mean that you have necrophilia. The key thing here is that necrophilia is an attraction to someone that is deceased. <br><br>So, let's imagine that you're single and looking for a partner. You'meet somebody and you find the person attractive and you're sexually attracted to them. You learn more about them, you find them interesting, and you like their personality. You end up falling in love with them. 2 in 10 people end up having sex before marriage, so let's assume you haven't had sex with this person yet. You're thinking about marrying them, and the timeline for that process is years. However, your partner dies. Let's say they die from some disease that's not in the body after death. <br><br>Is it wrong to sleep with the corpse of someone you love and respect?
