SEX demons Incubus and Succubus were in the news again this week, this time being pointed out in a social media forum by one of our well-loved entertainers as the other parties in the bedroom of those who engage in self-pleasure. It was shocking, not only because it’s 2022 and I thought that most people had moved past such archaic beliefs about sex, but because I also wondered if maybe there was some merit to the argument.

Traditional Christians are usually the ones to tell you that there’s something wrong with this act, and in church we were told to pray the feelings away and not be caught doing this act that is disturbing to man and God. More progressive Christians will of course tell you that having sexual feelings is perfectly healthy and normal, and it’s best to pray for the strength to not go overboard when it comes to self-pleasure.

But demons? Are they hovering in our rooms at home, waiting for us to grab the toy of our liking, and then join in on the action? What about all those ladies who have invested in the Rose and other pleasure builders, are demons in their bedrooms?

Wow.

The entertainer also hinted that not only do Incubus and Succubus come to join in on the occasional solo action that you may engage in, but they will also like it so much that they will start a relationship with you, get jealous, and cause problems in the actual relationship that you have.

Shocking.

I guess the Devil does indeed find work for idle hands.
