Mourning Wood
“I often feel a little stiff in the morning.”
Mourning Wood is a common slang term used to describe getting an erection (wood) at the sight of a corpse. An orgasmic state achieved whilst in this state of arousal is referred to as a Widow's Peak. Many individuals may be aroused by viewing dead people or animals, or in some extreme cases from attending Milli Vanilli concerts, or watching Golf.
The Dead have Risen[edit | edit source]
Both Jeffrey Dahmer and Dennis Nilsen are known to have had intercourse with many partners and often murdered them, though not specifically in that order. In an interview shortly before his own death, Dahmer is said to have stated a preference for the recently deceased as they were "a lot let hassle than people still twitching".
The following entry from Nilsen's diary allows some insight into the mindset of a sufferer:
| “ | Formaldahyde pumped through their veins, the white flesh glows, the ghost of a smile upon their frozen lips. They sleep now, but with so much love left to give. They want you, they call out to you, you never resist the silent longing in their eyes... | ” |

Consensuality Issue[edit | edit source]
In recent years, a number of high-profile cases have become media sensations due to the issue of consensuality on the part of the dead parties. In Oliver versus Bradley (1983) the case was found in favour of the defendant after his Lawyer argued that "even dead people deserved the right to an orgasm".
