Loving the undead
Jan. 18th, 2008 09:30 pmOkay, so if you have sex with a dead person, it's called necrophilia.
What is it called if you have sex with an undead person, like a zombie, for instance?
I *think* necro and philia would be greek roots. So...
anecrophilia?
innecrophilia?
nonnecrophilia?
From one website I found:
"Perhaps the greatest surprise to the novice is how at home the vampire feels in Greece, where it is called a vrykolakas.
Other Greek terms for the undead are often wonderfully descriptive and evocative. Among them: "timpanios", which denotes the tight, drum-like skin of a bloated corpse; in Cyprus "sarcomenos", eager or wrathful corpse; in Tinos "anakathoumenos", one who has sat back up: in Kithnos "Alitos", unsolvable or indissoluble; lampasma - a brightness or an entity."
Such specific words. Not quite as general as I had hoped.
Just sayin'. Someone has to ask these important questions!
