Lust Murder & Sadistic Necophilia:
- Lust murders are those in which the killer
derives sexual gratification from killing
- abducting a victim and holding them captive
for more than 24 hours is common, as is
blindfolding, gagging and binding the victim
- in some cases there is no sexual contact, but
the act of kill results in sexual arousal and even
orgasm
- in other case, the sadist sexually abuses
the corpse of the individual that they have
murdered
-The sadistic necrophile is not satisfied in merely
killing his victims; he also wants to possess and
destroy them beyond dead
- Sometimes, the victim’s corpse is
mutilated and the sadist drinks the blood
(vampirism) or partially cannibalizes the
victim (necrophagy)
- 42% of sadistic necropiles commit murder
to obtain a corpse
- In other cases, acts of sadistic necrophilia
occurs independent of murder
- sexual sadists that commit lust murder are
not a homogenous group
-Typically, however, sexual sadists that commit
lust murder record their crimes and they often
keep mementos of the victim
- some studies show that abuse of non-medical
drugs is common (≤75%)
- lifelong difficulties with heterosexual relations
and social isolation is also common
- more than 50% had no previous criminal record
and 20% were described as “solid citizens”
Sadistic Rape:
- Rapists are not a homogenous group
- Sadistic rapists are sexually aroused by the use
of gratuitous violence and humiliation
- Non-sadistic rapists are thought to use no
greater force than is necessary to obtain victim
compliance, even though the rapist’s estimate
may be highly inaccurate
-Non-sadistic rapists appear to be sexually
aroused by the sexual elements of rape, but their
arousal is not enhanced by the victim’s suffering
or humiliation
- Sadistic rapists are distinguished in phallometric assessment by a higher level of arousal
to descriptions of physical, but nonsexual,
assault on female victims
- 5-45% of rapists are of the sadistic rapists
- One study showed that a third of the sexual
sadists studied committed their crimes with
a partner
- Typically one partner dominates the other
- When women are accomplices there appears
to be a subtle process of seduction and
transformation involving psychological,
physical and sexual abuse before participating
in the crimes
-Some cases involve compliance over long
periods of time and participation in acts of
extreme depravity which tests the credibility
of the female participant’s status as a victim
- one of the major complications in identifying
sexual sadists is the finding that many “normal”
non-offending, heterosexual males express
sexual arousal to the idea of raping or hurting
a woman
- In the general male heterosexual population,
30% report sexual fantasies involving tying up
and raping a woman
-16-20% of men who report that they could rape
experience sexual arousal in response to sadomasochistic fantasies in which women experience
pain
-Many young men are more sexually aroused by
pictures of women bound and in distress than
those depicting women that are smiling and cooperative
-half of these report a willingness to engage in
bondage, 30% in corporeal punishment (i.e.,
whipping, spanking)
- In a study of male university students, 35-60%
stated they might commit a rape if they were
sure they would not get caught
- 2% of female university students stated that
they would enjoy being raped
-male university students estimated that 32% of
female university students would enjoy being
raped if no one knew
