Writing About Demons, Incubi and Succubae

Welcome to my supernatural erotica, the darker side of my erotic fiction.

Jun 03, 2024

In my stories demons, spirits, incubi and succubae play with humans. Their sexual powers know no limits and their appetites are ravenous.

Erotic stories have been created about the supernatural since language began. They help us explain a world that we still do not fully understand. But what if these myths and stories are not just products of the human imagination but founded on truth? What if these beings still exist, now hidden deeper in our world, lurking, ready to prey on the unsuspecting modern humans?

And what they want is sex. Some might argue that sex is about procreation so why would preternatural beings indulge in it? Who is to say that is not possible? One of the most acclaimed horror films. Rosemary’s Baby, directed by Roman Polanski and based on the novel by Ira Levin deals with just that subject.

Sex is often about the power dynamic, especially when domination and submission are involved. Why would not preternatural beings use it as a way to exercise their power?

In the distant past, we had respect for supernatural beings, avoided them or appeased them. My stories look at the relationship between the supernatural and the living world. In them, there are coexistences, partnerships and manipulations that see both humans and demons in the ascendant.

The demons I write about have characters, desires and lusts. As a writer of erotica, it is the lusts that feature heavily in my stories. There is a freedom when writing about the supernatural; no human social conventions or mores holding your demonic characters back. That is assuming they are evil, what if they are not and centuries of religious teaching are merely an accepted propaganda? What if demons merely live by different rules in their parallel world and their characters have shades of good and evil?

The Demon’s Lure was one of my first erotic supernatural stories. My conception of demons then was that they are evil The incubus is never seen, his presence is malevolent, destructive, but his acolyte worships him with her body (The Demon’s Lure is in the workshop for a rebuild so is currently unavailable).

But then I began to think that, hidden within a demon there is some women’s ideal lover - strong, forceful, dangerous, but worth the risk. In Possessed and No More Virgins (both free to read) there is powerful sex but who is seducing who?

There is also humour. In No More Virgins, the demon is serious and gets exasperated with humans. It is the village women’s lusty response to him later in the story that provides the humour.

Next, I moved on to men - or rather my succubae characters did. In many myths visitations by these demons will eventually sap a man’s energy and result in his death but they are not always malevolent. In some of my stories such as The Confession (free read) they are avenging angels.

Some myths also suggest that succubae need semen to survive. Their consumption of semen suggests the reason behind their lust for sex; it is a short leap of the imagination to have them feeding off the sexual energy created by humans. In my stories the succubae are bisexual as they feed off the energy of both men and women - incidentally one of my succubus characters claims women’s sexual essences taste sweeter than men’s.

Having tangled my demons with both sexes it was inevitable that my imagination would conjure up a hermaphroditic character. Again some myths cast demons as both incubus and succubus. They start to take hold in The Devil Inside You (for paid subscribers) and Goldilocks (free to read serial).

Writing about the supernatural gives my writer’s imagination free rein. I do not have to do endless research; I do read a lot and simply let other stories inspire me.
