What is a Incubus?

Question

What are the myths about Incubus?

Answer 1

Incubus is Latin for "nightmare".

Incubus
by Micha F. Lindemans
In medieval European folklore, the incubus is a male demon (or evil spirit) who visits women in their sleep to lie with them in ghostly sexual intercourse. The woman who falls victim to an incubus will not awaken, although may experience it in a dream. Should she get pregnant the child will grow inside her as any normal child, except that it will possess supernatural capabilities. Usually the child grows into a person of evil intent or a powerful wizard. Legend has it that the magician Merlin was the result of the union of an incubus and a nun. A succubus is the female variety, and she concentrates herself on men. According to one legend, the incubus and the succubus were fallen angels.

Around it is said this:

But in reality it is not so, the spirits of demons are asexual, ie their spiritual nature is not covered by a physical body, so it is impossible to have sex with anyone human person. Clear syntax ??

Answer 3

an incubus is a male daemon, its job is usually to seduce women and use them for breeding, pleasure, etc.

The succubus is the female version of the same thing.

They are evil spirits that take an attractive form to seduce people.

Answer 4

All I know is that it is supposedly a demon spirit disguised as a man. Or a man in the devil's service. A sucubus is the same thing only a woman.

Answer 5

It is a spirit that makes love to women and a succubus is a female spirit that makes love to men, Been trying to attract one for ages.
Oh yeah, when the succubus makes love to a man it drains his energy (Sounds familiar to me).
