Corrigendum (you may suppose me to be blushing furiously)

[oursin]

It has been drawn to my attention that I got the genders of incubus and succubus reversed in a comment recently relating to demon sex.

The devil in female form of a succubus tempts human men in order to steal their seed; and then takes the form of an incubus (with massive ice-cold phallus) to deposit same in human women.

Oooops.

....right now Seattle's in a nasty heatwave (low nineties! Wailaway!) so that latter sounds nearly tempting! if not for the evil demon seed impregnation part

Eh, at least it explained why one of the chapters in (I think) The School At The Chalet - one of the early Chalets, anyway - is alarmingly titled Juliet, The Incubus.

And here I thought one of the advantages of sexual relations with an incubus was that pregnancy could not possibly result.

inquiring minds want to know!

[radiantfracture]

Ha, I didn't even notice.

[bibliofile]

Me neither.

Reassuringly, this may mean that we haven't had sexual congress with either variety of demon. Right?!

[silveradept]

It is a common enough thing that I should hope anyone who wishes to raise a large fuss about it be enjoined to take the icy phallus into themselves.

I bet they take turns -- incubus one day, succubus the next.
