Necrophilia: Word first coined
Necrophilia was a word coined in 1860 by Dr. Guislain to define a category of "insane
destroyers." In 1901
Epaulard suggested that anyone who loved corpses, platonically or not, should be called a
"necrophile." The
word necrophagy was invented in 1875 by W. A. F. Browne who reckoned it an instance of
cannibalism without
any erotic connotations. Epaulard was sure however that it had erotic significance. The
necrophage is taken as
different from the cannibal inasmuch as the latter chooses the man he is going to eat while the
victim is still alive.
Necrosadism was a term invented by Epaulard in 1901 to designate those who mutilated
corpses. The sadism
in a case of this sort is only apparent as the victim can experience no pain. The corpse fulfills
the purpose of a
fetish. (O. Volta, "The Vampire").
