Whether Deity or Demon, the supernatural entities of the
ancient world had one thing in common.
More often than not, they used their magical skills for the pursuit of
sex…lots of it.
In today's world, someone with the powers attributed to the
gods and monsters of ancient mythology might use those abilities to banish
ignorance, intolerance, and hate to make the world a better place for
everyone. But in the ancient world, the
rulers of mythology used their special powers for a far more down-to-earth
human type pursuit—that of participating in hot sex as often as possible.
Here are six such immortals from the ancient world who seem
to be in a perpetual state of heat, always chasing after the pleasures derived
from seducing mortals.
6) Zeus:
The ancient Greeks didn't have reality television, but they did have the
exploits of Zeus, king of the gods, to keep them entertained. Zeus wasn't at all picky. He engaged in sex with goddesses, nymphs and
mortals and did whatever it took to get what he wanted. Kinky, freaky, voracious. It all described his sexual appetite. On one occasion he even took on the physical
appearance of the husband of a human woman named Alcmene and they had a son
named Heracles (Hercules in Roman mythology).
But even the king of the gods ended up in trouble on the home
front. High up on Mt. Olympus, his wife,
Hera, was a woman of earth-shattering powers and didn't hesitate to use them.
5) The Incubus/Succubus: Today wet dreams are easily explained. In medieval times, however, they were
believed to be the result of demonic forces.
Folklore from centuries ago says there was a demonic creature whose sole
purpose was to have sex with people during their sleep. The incubus put a spell on a woman to make
her compliant then proceeded to have his way with her. The succubus was the female version of this
demon who seduced men in their sleep.
Sex with an incubus or succubus was considered dangerous for the mortal,
but not always lethal. A one time only
encounter said the mortal would most likely survive. But continued encounters with the same mortal
were definitely bad for the mortal's health.
4) Odin:
King of the Norse gods, Odin only had one eye. He traded the other one for infinite
wisdom. And what knowledge did this
infinite wisdom impart to him? It said
hot sex was a lot of fun. One time he
found himself really turned on by a female giant named Jord. He refused to allow the fact that his
non-giant manhood was dwarfed by her giant body to stand in his way. He figured out a physical means for them to
have sex. Nine months later Thor was
born.
3) Krishna:
The Hindu god Krishna wasn't only about hot sex and good times. When his good-for-nothing uncle, Kamsa,
crossed that hypothetical line in the
sand one too many times, Krishna put him six feet under the sand without
giving it a second thought. Krishna
loved to get freaky with the ladies. He had
a flute and when he played it women would flock to him.
2) Pan:
The Greek god, Pan, had a goat-like appearance. He would have fit in perfectly with one of
today's college frat houses—he was all about partying. He liked to drink and was cursed (or blessed,
depending on how you look at it) with an intense sex drive. He often ran around with his bare erection
visible for all to see. Like Krishna, he
used his magic flute to draw in the ladies.
He seduced Selene, the moon goddess, and convinced her that having sex
with him was a great idea.
1) The Meek-Moos-Ak: The Native American tribe known as the
Abenaki believed in these short twin creatures called the Meek-moos-ak. They ran around drunk, killing hunters and
having sex with women. Their legend said
that once a woman had sex with them, she was cursed to never desire marriage.

Great post, Samantha. I love reading about the Greek, Roman, and Norse Gods, but you had a couple here who surprised me.
Sandra: I had never heard of the Meek-Moos-Ak before I read the article about the lusty mythology gods. Might have something to do with the fact that they belong to Native American tribe rather than the ancient Greeks, Romans, etc., therefore haven't had the exposure to the general public the way the others have, especially on the international stage.
Thanks for your comment.
I loved this post! I also had not heard of the Meek-Moos-Ak, and liked that they made the list.
Ashantay: I find it interesting that of all the mystical/magical things the ancient gods of mythology were apparently able to do that sex was their main objective. Even Odin who gave up one of his eyes for infinite wisdom... :)
Thanks for your comment.
