Should Dead People Have Sex?

Those Nutty Germans Are At It Again.  Take a peek at this little chestnut fresh off the wire. 

“Anatomists in Germany plan a show dedicated solely to dead bodies having sex as part of the Body World’s exhibitions.”

Listen, I just report this stuff.  Politicians in Germany are being critical using words like “revolting” to describe the exhibit of chemically manipulated corpses being posed for, well, you know.

Sounds like a Perry Mason novel.  The Case of the Copulating Cadavers.

This Berlin controversy isn’t the first of its kind in recent years.  An exhibit called Bodies continues to make the rounds from Asia to America.  Outrage erupts wherever the exhibit goes.  Protests focus on the macabre nature of dead humans as well as reports that the corpses were illegally obtained from Chinese prisons.

Angelina Whalley, director of the Body Worlds exhibit and certifiable sicko to 88.73% of most everybody, claims to be attempting to counter the media’s portrayal of sex as something indecent.  What media is she watching?  Yeah, that’s a real problem, how the media and culture are so down on sex and indecency. 

I guess Whalley and husband Gunther von Hagens are no hypocrites.  They both plan on donating their bodies for future uses of perversion.  According to an ABS-CBN news report, “Von Hagens said he and some other body donors even saw plastination as an alternative to burial or cremation, giving them more certainty about [what] would happen to their bodies after death: “Cremation for me is hell.” 

Apparently for von Hagens creepy corpse sex is heaven.

  1. Ugh. Displaying human remains for science is one thing (though I don’t want to see them), remains which might come from Chinese prisoners? That’s something else entirely. I find it immensely troubling that the allegations seemed to have no effect on people’s desire to see Bodies. If you’re harvesting people from Chinese prisoners, my wallet is going to stay extremely closed.

    There those crazy Germans go again. That’s unsettling, offensive, and somehow seems incredibly pretentious at the same time. Ugh again.

  2. i have been to this exhibit, prior to hearing speculation of where the bodies came from, and it was extremely weird and unsettling seeing it in person. like the other comment, “my wallet is going to stay extremely closed”, i wish mine would have. for an exhibit showing “humans”, it seemed very inhumane

    • I would call it NecroVoyeurism. If you enjoy lifeless, appaling presentations I would also recommend Cleveland Browns football.

  4. [...] don’t want to know.  To be fair though, there was at least one article here about dead bodies and sex.  And no, I don’t believe Kevin Bacon is gay.  He’s managed a 20 year marriage with [...]
