And yes, your answerers gave you the correct meaning.

I will give you this limerick I heard in school that taught me the words “miserly necrophiliac” :-).

There was a man from Belgrave

Who hid a dead whore in a cave

He said , “I’ll admit

I’m a bit of a sh*t

But think of the money I save”.

1. The necrophile develops poor self-esteem, perhaps due in part to a significant loss. He (usually male) is very fearful of rejection by women and he desires a sexual object who is incapable of rejecting him; and/or He is fearful of the dead, and transforms his fear of the dead—by means of reaction formation—into a desire for the dead.

2. He develops an exciting fantasy of sex with a corpse, sometimes after exposure to a corpse.
