Why does a social taboo exists against this? The dead are inanimate, and do not feel. We do not hesitate to burn them, to gut them and embalm them, or to use them as cadavers. What is different about deriving sexual pleasure from them?
It is high time we admit this taboo exists from the pretense of the living, not a care for the dead. If we recognize our taboo against necrophilia has no basis in reality, we should remove it.
