Abstract

V originále

Autoerotic paraphilic manipulations may be not only incredibly unusual but also hazardous and possibly fatal. Autoerotic experimenters sometimes combine several paraphilic mechanisms, both potentially lethal and non-lethal. A tragic outcome is usually a direct consequence of the life-threatening paraphilic mechanism(s); how-ever, it may also result from an accidental complication arising from the constellation of the paraphilic reali-zation. In this report, we present a case of an autoerotic death of a 30-year-old man who applied two potentially lethal paraphilic mechanisms-body wrapping and foreign body anal insertion-together with two other non-lethal paraphilic activities, autofetishism and transvestitism. However, the man's death ultimately occurred due to another associated autoerotic activity-stimulation of the lower abdomen with an electric massager, which accidentally short-circuited and caused fatal electrocution. Such autoerotic fatalities constitute a distinct subcategory of accidental autoerotic death.
