Necro porn is pornography that depicts sexual acts with people who appear to be dead. Necro porn may take the form of pornographic videos or images. Enacted murder and rape are common elements of necro porn.
The term necro porn is derived from the Greek word nekros, meaning dead body or corpse.
More About Necro Porn
As with most pornography, there are different sub-genres to appeal to different tastes. Fetish websites that house necro porn often allow users to sort the clips by kill type, such as strangulation or shooting.
While necro porn features actors pretending to kill others, it should not be confused with snuff films, where men are filmed actually killing women for sexual gratification.
Even though necro porn is considered a fairly extreme form of pornography, consuming it can be a healthy way to satisfy a death fetish or necrophilia. There are a wide range of people with a death fetish, ranging from people with simply aroused by the concept of death on one end of the spectrum and murderers on the other. Most people fall into the former category and would never act out their necrophilic tendencies in real life, experts say.
An interest in necro porn is only a problem if, like the consumption of any other pornography, it starts to dominate a person’s life or if it intensifies a person’s death fetish and compels them to carry out criminal acts.
Despite this, many leading pornography curation websites, like Pornhub and Redtube, refuse to host necro porn.
