Would necrophilia be okay under this circumstance?

Yes. I believe such a thing is intrinsically wrong.

May I ask what your reasons are for believing it's wrong?
Very simple. Its a dead body. That should be enough.

Okay... Fair enough... I agree that it's icky . it's just In some cultures it was permitted... I wonder if our disgust at the idea of such a thing would not be there had we lived in a culture where it was permitted?
Either way, I agree it's gross... But I have a fascination with weird behavior that humans display... That doesn't mean I want to engage in it myself... But I find it fascinating none the less

Wtf? What, one for the road, as it were? Are we talking sex minutes after death, hours, a few weeks (ewww).... 5 years after death? Seriously? 
I can't quite get past the idea of wanting someone to have sex with my corpse, let alone having someone offer me a "one for the road". Really? Sorry, that just does not compute.
As far as dismembering. Um, no. Just, no.
There is also the quite natural revulsion that the living normally have for corpses that makes this a very fringe thing. I'm not sure we want to go down that road.

Yeah it's too gross... I pity those who suffer from this fetish... Although I find it fascinating that people would want to act out this Behavior, I do find it disturbing... Extremely disturbing either way, but more disturbing based on the level of decomposition of the corpse.Wtf? What, one for the road, as it were?

Now why on Earth did I start this thread...Oh God I need to pray.... Lord have mercy on my soul!
Sorry to "necro" this thread haha... ok but... now to get my hands grimy.
Okay woah let's slow down and stick with just one.
Cannibalism, a-okay in my book. Sex? I've heard that some vamachara sects have done this but I've never seen anything solid on necrophilia. If it's true I wouldn't be bothered in the least by it.
Dismemberment... I dunno I ain't so much into that... I don't see the point, unless it's purely a pragmatic concern.
I'd take it further, smash my teeth out, totally destroy all but the skull cap to make a begging bowl so you can eat and drink out of it for every meal, hopefully between some cannibalism and meditating on other corpses.
Of course I'd be long dead and beyond much else of use of a skull, in that situation.
What about being eaten?
Ya, that aversion is pretty strong. I've personally felt it but try to over come it in what legal ways I can for where i live.
Honestly, corpses are not dangerous. Well, they are due to all that pointless freaking embalming that isn't even necessary in most cases. At one point yes the corpse could contain a disease if that's what killed them, but most risk would be no more than handling rotten food depending on state of decomposition.
There's actually a lot of rituals, practices ect designed to overcome the fear of one's own death, realize one's body is little more than those corpses, by meditating with them or eating some of them. I find that a pretty valid practice. I'd like to partake one day, but can't legally where I live lol
I think a lot of fear comes from the fact that we are so separated from death. In other cultures where the family handles the body, corpses are not so scary.

I voted yes in the poll because corpses are a health hazard and I have yet to venture upon a mentally healthy person who would seriously have sex with a corpse, let alone partake in cannibalism or mutilation of corpses (cannibalism, dismemberment and mutilation of corpses have nothing to do with necrophilia itself so I have no idea why the OP mentions those). When it comes to the scenario of wanting to be with a deceased loved one, such a person has a problem with not being able to let go and needs to learn healthy grieving habits.
