I know you’ll never understand my need to have sex with corpses, which is fine. I’ve long abandoned hope of anyone really seeing me eye to eye on that. No one really “gets me,” and they never will. Don’t think I’m the only one, though. I’m not alone in my proclivities, we are more numerous than you might imagine. The DSM calls our desires a deviation, which is just a nicer way of saying I’m a pervert. To quote a brilliant man, “so it goes.”
Don’t worry, I’m not the sort of sicko who goes around murdering people to have sex with them after they’re dead. I wouldn’t hurt a fly, or even a corpse, I’m really quite the tender lover.
I wish I could explain my inconvenient predilection to you, but I can’t. I have no idea what particular sorts of things altered my psychology or brain chemistry to make me part of such a maligned portion of the population.
Yet, while as I said I am not unique in being a necrophiliac, I believe I am unique in combining that particular malady with the addition of narcolepsy, in which I am attacked by the sudden and overwhelming urge to sleep at inopportune moments. Narcolepsy is an inconvenience, and even a danger, for all who suffer from its grip, what with the potential to have an onset while driving or doing some other dangerous activity. However, I do believe I am the only one who is at risk for falling asleep while making sweet, sweet love to a dead person. As I’m sure you can imagine, this takes a lifestyle that is already fairly high-risk and compounds that considerably. This is especially true since my narcoleptic condition seems to be triggered by the culmination of my sexual attentions, meaning I often fall asleep in rather vulnerable situations.
I’ve had to move and change my name three times already. All three occurrences were times I would have avoided discovery if only I hadn’t fallen asleep at the worst possible moment, in a moment of intimacy with the recently deceased.
But here I am complaining, and I’m sure you don’t want to hear about that. I suppose we all have our crosses to bear.
