Editing Succubus (section)

==Ability to reproduce==
According to the [[Kabbalah]] and the school of [[Shlomo ben Aderet|Rashba]], the original three queens of the demons, Agrat bat Mahlat, Naamah, Eisheth Zenunim, and all their cohorts give birth to children, except Lilith.<ref>{{cite web |author=Humm |first=Alan |title=Kabbala: Lilith, Queen of the Demons |url=http://www.lilithgallery.com/library/lilith/Queen-of-the-Demons.html |access-date=21 September 2016 |publisher=lilithgallery.com}}</ref> According to other [[legend]]s, the children of Lilith are called [[Lilin]].

According to the ''{{Lang|la|[[Malleus Maleficarum]]}}'', or ''Witches' Hammer'', written by [[Heinrich Kramer]] (Institor) in 1486, succubi [[semen collection|collect semen]] from men they seduce. Incubi, or male demons, then use the semen to impregnate human females,<ref>Kramer, Heinrich and Sprenger, James (1486), Summers, Montague (translator&nbsp;– 1928), ''The Malleus Maleficarum'', Part2, [http://www.sacred-texts.com/pag/mm/mm02b08a.htm chapter VIII], "Certain Remedies prescribed against those Dark and Horrid Harms with which Devils may Afflict Men," at [http://www.sacred-texts.com sacred-texts.com]</ref> thus explaining how demons could apparently sire children, despite the traditional belief that they were incapable of reproduction. Children so begotten—[[cambion]]s—were supposed to be those that were born deformed, or more susceptible to supernatural influences.<ref name="AZ">Lewis, James R., Oliver, Evelyn Dorothy, Sisung Kelle S.

[[James VI and I|King James]] in his dissertation titled ''[[Daemonologie|Dæmonologie]] ''refutes the possibility for angelic entities to reproduce and instead offered a suggestion that a [[devil]] would carry out two methods of impregnating women - the first, to [[sperm theft|steal the sperm]] out of a dead man and deliver it into a woman. If a demon could extract the semen quickly, the substance could not be instantly transported to a female host, causing it to go cold. This explains his view that succubi and incubi were the same demonic entity, only to be described differently based on the tormented sexes being conversed with. The second method was the idea that a dead body could be possessed by a devil, causing it to rise and have sexual relations with others. However, no mention has been found of a female corpse being possessed to elicit sex from men.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Warren|first1=Brett|title=The Annotated Dæmonologie of King James.
