Incubus and Succubus

Succubus is a female demon who visited men in their sleep and seduced them,stealing their sperm  and draining their life force. By doing so,are causing an addiction to the succubus' insidious charms, they stole the man's soul and debilitated them to the point of death.

Often depicted as having red skin, horns like a goats and lower legs like a satyr's, hairy and terminating like cloven hooves, they were reputed to be able to take on the shape of a beautiful and seductive woman.

The legends also said that the sperm stolen by the succubus was given to an incubus, her male counterpart,who implanted it in the woman the incubus seduced in the same manner, the resulting pregnancy delivering either an incubus or a succubus.

There's no explanation as to why the sperm of the human man introduced into the womb of a human woman produced a demon.

Although there are myths of sex demons in many different cultures, the succubus myth seems to originate in Europe during the 1300s.

It was an explanation for 'nocturnal emissions' or 'wet dreams', and seems had most prevalent in monasteries, the monks seeking desperately for an expiate themselves of sins committed in their dreams.

The incubus myth likewise provided an explanation for pregnancies in convents, as well as to cover unexplained pregnancies stemming from illicit romance and rape in the general population.

Its interesting to note that the rise of these myths coincides with attempts by the Church to stem traditions of sexual freedom in areas of Europe formerly held by the Celts, who embraced a matrist tradition of worshipping a Mother Goddess, as opposed to Church's patrist orientation of worshipping a masculine God.

The result of the Church's efforts was to demonize women in general to support the doctrine of priestly, chastity and changing the status of a women to that of chattels.

The warlike feudal social structures of the time bought into this as way to control inheritance through patromony. While men where often forgiven their amorous adventures, women who strayed from the absolute ownership their bodies of fathers and husbands were ostracized or even killed.

Author's Note: Di po ako masyadong familiar sa Incubus and Succubus Info's kaya naman po nagsearch ako ng information sa internet ng bonggang bonga. Honestly saying,kinopya ko lang po talaga ang mga yan sa isang video na napanuod ko sa youtube. Hindi ko po inaangkin ang kahit isang letter sa bawat paragraphs na naandyan. So that I'll give all the credits sa gumawa ng slideshow about Incubus and Succubus.
