During his interview with Stone Phillips on “Dateline NBC,” Jeffrey Dahmer revealed his reasons for killing (via Oxygen). “I just wanted to have the person under my complete control,” he said. “Not having to consider their wishes. Being able to keep them there as long as I wanted.” Dahmer was driven by a primordial and sexual craving to keep his unfortunate subjects captive, satisfying his erotic pleasures whenever he wanted. Unfortunately, it rarely worked out for him — or them, for that matter. In one instance, he drilled a hole into the victim’s skull and injected acid directly into their brain, inevitably resulting in their death (per Associated Press). In a sense, murder was merely an occupational hazard in his quest for total submission.

Dahmer admitted to consuming parts of his victims’ bodies later on in his spree. By doing so, he claimed, “It made them feel that they were a part of me, and it gave a sexual satisfaction to do that. … I ended up doing what I did as my way of feeling in complete control. … Creating my own little world where I had the final say” (via Internet Archive).
