In the first installment of Dirty Sexy Demonology I shared a bit of this incredibly exciting branch of the Christian faith - how it creates a far more exciting version of Christianity by throwing out all the boring bits and making it more about exciting magic* battles against demons. After all, why would you want to live in a messy, complex world where you have to wrestle with morality and other complicated issues when you can instead live in a black and white world where everything is demons? Life is both simpler and far more exciting this way! But maybe after a while you feel like that is not quite enough and you find yourself wishing there was more to it. Well I hope you're sitting down because Charismatic Demonology is about to get even dirtier AND sexier! Have you heard the good news about Sex Demons?
"Can demons engage in sexual activity with humans? As bizarre as it sounds, those who minister to people in occult bondage say it's more common than you think.
For nearly two decades, Contessa Adams felt as though she had no power against the demonic violators of her body. She felt trapped in secrecy and shame and knew that the demons tormenting her wanted things to stay that way. But God had another agenda for Adams when she found Christ in 1979. The former stripper has a ministry through which she exposes one of Satan's darkest secrets—sexual demons. These spiritual rapists, as Adams describes them in her book, Consequences, often prey on people by performing sexual acts through nightmares and erotic dreams. Some people become so dependent upon these demonic experiences that they actually look forward to them.
"Anybody that has been attacked by them will tell you ... they're worried [that] they could not find that pleasure with mortal people," says Adams, who claims she was once possessed by sexual demons.
The two most identifiable sexual demons are the incubus, which is a male sexual demon that traditionally assaults women, and the succubus, which is a female sexual demon that assaults men. Sometimes they also lure people into homosexual behavior. Adams notes that one evangelist, whose name she would not divulge, was so troubled by the sexual pleasure the succubus gave her that she even contemplated suicide.
Adams says the succubus spirit that used to attack her confused her so much that she contemplated becoming a lesbian. "

| I tried to find a picture of the very real succubi the article mentions but could only seem to find them in fiction and Role Playing Games... My sincerest apologies. |
Now you may be tempted to think I'm trying to "punk" you by quoting something from the Malleus Maleficarum but I assure you I am not. This is an actual extract from an article in Charisma Magazine and I shit you not, it was published in the 21st Century!
This has to be really good news to any good Christian who feels conflicted about having a libido. You do all you can to squash down your feelings all day long but then and night you still end up sinning in your dreams. Frustrating right? Well not anymore! Not if what you're really dealing with are SEX DEMONS! That's right, you don't really have homosexual tendencies, you're just being tempted by a SEX DEMON! Doesn't that make you feel a lot better? You're not a sinner, you're a righteous man/woman under attack! So let go of your guilt and get your spells* ready, it's time to kick some demon ass! [Disclaimer: This could take a while. Pesky demons always keep trying their luck, so you'll be doing this for a while. Maybe for ever. But hey, still better than being guilty of gay adultery!]
Now I understand that some of you would love to blame your nocturnal sinfulness on a succubus but you're still hesitant because it seems more like something from a Dungeons and Dragons manual, not something from the Bible. You are of course completely right, none of this is in the Bible. For some weird reason the various Bible authors spent a lot of time NOT talking about demons and completely failed to turn the Bible into a Spiritual Warfare manual. Luckily for us, the Bible is completely optional when it comes to Dirty Sexy Demonology! In fact, the less you use it the better it gets! You see, Charismatic Theology has kind of a "take it and leave it" approach to the Bible, in that if it doesn't tell you what you want to hear you leave it and take it from a different source instead. This was brilliantly explained by one of the comments on the article:
"For some reason God chose to not put "everything" in the bible. God has a reason for every thing. That is why Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to lead us into "all truth". Take heed people Holy Spirit is trying to teach you the hidden things that can only be discerned by the spirit. Those who are able to hear Holy Spirit are reqired to teach those who are not able to hear. "See? You don't need the Bible, the Word of God is a pretty fluid thing it turns out. You can get totally new doctrine from the Holy Spirit at any time.
Did I say Charismatic Christianity is just like Medieval Catholicism? I was wrong, it's better! Medieval Catholicism had a Pope, Charismatics do not. No Pope, no Vatican, no Council of Cardinals - no one at all to provide any structure or guidelines on what can and cannot be doctrine! This frees you to believe whatever you'd like and since no one else can hear what you imagine the Holy Spirit is telling you, no one can tell you that you're wrong! It doesn't matter how ridiculous it sounds, you get to seriously believe it and teach it to others as a fact!
Is it any wonder that Charismatic Christians are the ones spearheading the return of the long forgotten art of witch finding? Because if reviving one ridiculous medieval superstition is a viable option, then why can't they all be?

*Obviously I'm using the word "magic" here as a form of shorthand. Charismatic Christians obviously don't engage in magic. Magic is an evil and demonic thing and any good Charismatic Christian can tell you that. What they do may seem like exactly the same thing in form, function and core principles but it is completely different! Magic implies the use of demons while Christians use Jesus instead so it's completely and utterly not the same thing. Obviously!
