| Cho's case is not the exception, but the rule: persistent fantasies, whether sexual, violent, or |
| sexually violent, are often played out in real life. When people voice their fantasies, we should open our |
| ears. When therapists, especially those influenced by the catharsis view of the mind, encourage their |
| patients to engage in aggressive fantasies to release their pent up energy, we should bring forward |
| malpractice suits as they are accomplices to crime. |
| What kind of mind is most likely to rev up the fantasy world to supersonic levels and then |
| unleash it in the service of excessive harm? Lust murderers — individuals with a craving for the bizarre and |
| degenerate provide one answer to this question. Lust murderers are typically repeat offenders or serial |
| killers. The serial nature of their crimes comes from the fact that they are motivated by recurrent |
| fantasies that create recurrent cravings. They are, effectively, addicted to violence. Their fantasies often |
| entail some kind of paraphilia — an extreme and abnormal sexual arousal to objects, people or situations |
| - played out through some form of sadism - a persistent pattern of sexual or non-sexual pleasure from |
| humiliating, punishing and harming others. Here again we see the promiscuous human mind at work, |
| seamlessly blending pleasure and violence, animate and inanimate attractions, sometimes with benign |
| origins, but often with malignant outcomes. Thus, the pleasure derived from humiliation may develop out |
| of the more common, normal and less harmful pleasure we experience from mockery and humor. |
| Humiliation is just a small step away in a mind that derives joy from others' demise. |
| The paraphilias, like many of the other disorders that appear within the Diagnostic and Statistical |
| Manual of Mental Health, fall along a continuum from rather benign forms of voyeurism to |
| erotophonophilia, the vicious and sadistic killing of an innocent victim in order to achieve ultimate sexual |
| satisfaction. Regardless of the particular object or situation driving the paraphilia, individuals become |
| addicted. Like other addictions, including those associated with food, drugs, and alcohol, paraphilic |
| addicts experience withdrawal. Dangerously for the world around them, the erotophonophilic or lust killer |
| harbors sadistic paraphilias, including flagellation - the need to club, whip or beat someone — |
| anthropophagy — the desire to eat human body parts — picquerism — a craving to stab someone or cut |
| off their flesh, focusing especially on genitals and breasts — and necrosadism — a yearning to have |
| sexual contact with the dead. Although these desires may seem unimaginable, they reveal one facet of the |
| human mind's potential — a potential that was fully realized in the mind of Jeffrey Dahmer who |
| flagellated, cannibalized, dismembered, and engaged in necrophilia with his 17 victims. Such disordered |
| minds are part of the human condition, one that stretches from individuals who never cache in on their |
| fantasies to those who not only deliver, but develop — as in addictions to food and drugs - deeper and |
| deeper desires for harming others without the rewards that come from such harm. When wanting and |
