IT'S often associated with mysterious, island tribes originating from lands far away, or ye olde times when man thought the world was flat, but the recent news of a British nurse grooming a young girl as his prey proves the idea of eating humans is as prevalent today as it was back in the 16th Century.

Frighteningly, a number of modern-day crime stories have unearthered a new trend in gruesome, sexualised cannibalism and the attacker's subsequent "meal".

According to Dr Mark Griffiths, Chartered Psychologist from Nottingham Trent University, sexual cannibalism involves "individuals sexualising the consumption of another human being's flesh", he writes on The Independent .

"Most criminologists and psychologists claim such people are sociopaths (characterised by impulsivity, selfishness, and lack of remorse). Devouring someone could be viewed as the ultimate act of dominance by a predator, and the ultimate act of submission by the prey," he wrote.

Griffiths describes a subsector of cannibalism known as e rotophonophilia, where the individual has "extreme violent fantasies and typically kill[s] their victims during sex and/or mutilate their victims' sexual organs."

Here are 5 reasons why we've lost our appetite right now.

5. DALE BOLINGER — THE 'CREEPY CANNIBAL'

"The idea of us making love and then eating you is a VERY great turn on!"

Dale Bolinger, a British nurse with a cannibalism fetish, was found guilty this month of attempting to meet a 14-year-old girl who he made contact with over the internet before telling her he wanted to eat and behead her.

Bolinger, 58, bought an axe the day before he planned to meet the girl.

The married father of three had met "Eva" — whose true identity has not been established, but who said she was a Mexican living in Germany — on the website Dark Fetish Network.

In his profile, he claimed to have eaten a 39-year-old woman and a five-year-old child, though he denied in court that he had done so, saying it was all "just in fantasy".

In chats with "Eva", he had described how he wanted to have sex with her and then eat her.

"I have been called a very generous lover and I would be very generous to you before I prepped you for the table."

The message exchanges were later discovered by the FBI in New York, which traced Bolinger's email address, meatmarketman@rocketmail.com, to his home in Kent.

They passed on the information to British police. He was found guilty of the crime of attempting to meet a child under the age of 16 following sexual grooming.

Bolinger is to be sentenced on September 19 after a psychiatric report to assess the level of risk he represents to the public.

4. GEOFFREY PORTWAY — THE 'WOULD-BE CANNIBAL'

Geoffrey Portway chatted online with other men about a desire to kidnap, rape, kill and eat children.

Chats recovered from Portway's computer show he solicited people to help kidnap a child with the intent of raping, killing and eating the child.

"I want to eat ... the two boys you will bring me,'' Mr Portway was quoted as writing.

"Perhaps not today, but it will happen. That is all I live for. ... I am serious. It is the only thing that gets me up in the morning.''

Prosecutors showed photos of a basement dungeon he built, including a child-sized coffin, butchering tools and metal restraints. He has been sentenced to nearly 27 years in prison.

3. STEPHEN GRIFFITHS — 'THE CROSSBOW CANNIBAL'

Chilling images of "Crossbow Cannibal" Stephen Griffiths as he makes an obscene one-fingered gesture after brazenly celebrating his final murder in front of a CCTV camera will ensure his place in the criminal history books.

CCTV footage captured outside the serial killer's flat clearly shows the former PhD student's face contorted with rage before he executes prostitute Suzanne Blamires, 36, with a crossbow bolt and a knife to the head.

He is then seen walking out of the building to search for another victim, as he holds up a bottle of Sprite as if to toast his success.

In 2011, then 40-year-old Griffiths was jailed for life after admitting to the murders of Miss Blamires and two other prostitutes, Susan Rushworth, 43, and Shelley Armitage, 31.

According to reports, he chopped up their bodies in his "slaughterhouse" bathroom and ate sections of their flesh before disposing of the remaining body parts.

He told police he had killed "loads" of women and compared himself to Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe, who murdered 13.

He admitted that after killing the three women, he had dismembered and skinned them using power tools, a hammer, knives and a samurai sword.

He cooked the first two, but ate the third raw after his cooker broke.

Following his arrest he told police: 'This is the end of the line for me … I've killed loads.'

2. ANTHONY MORLEY — 'GAY CANNIBAL KILLER'

Former Mr Gay UK Anthony Morley is spending the rest of his life in jail after being found guilty for butchering his boyfriend and cooking his flesh.

In 2008, Morley, 36, slashed 33-year-old boyfriend Damian Oldfield's throat before stabbing him numerous times after watching gay western Brokeback Mountain in bed. He then cut up and cooked his flesh.

Upon his sentence, Judge James Stewart, QC, said: "This is one of the most gruesome murders I have encountered. I associated cannibalism with eras long gone, with the tale of Robinson Crusoe. No longer."

1. ARMIN MEIWES — 'THE MASTER BUTCHER'

In a tale that horrified Germany, Armin Meiwes found his victim, Bernd-Juergen Brandes, over the internet. The IT manager Brandes had posted an advert for someone to "obliterate his life and leave no trace".

Brandes travelled by train to meet Meiwes in the western town of Rotenburg in March 2001. There, the cannibal videotaped himself severing Brandes' penis with a knife before both men tried to eat it.

Bleeding profusely, Brandes fell unconscious. With the video recorder still rolling, Meiwes laid him out on a bench, kissing him on the lips before plunging a knife into his throat.

He suspended the victim on a meat hook and froze 30kg of flesh in parcels and later ate some with cabbage and potatoes.
