the desire of spirits

THe desire of spirits

I Recently came across a wikipedia entry
 for a creature called a dhampir.
The idea is that a vampire would continue to desire
  sexual relations with its former wife or lover after they had died.
I have always been interested in the stories
of demons, like the succubus and incubus,
which are said to visit a man or a woman respectively,
during the night.
They are said to have become very attached to their adopted
lover... those of you x-files fans might remember the x-files
episode, where DS Skinner is visited by an elderly female  spirit,
which looked after his welfare, and he picked up in Vietnam.
The Dhampir is a Balkans vampire  child, born of a union
 between a vampire and a human woman,
A very fragile being, which is supposed to be unclean
( that is dirty and , slimy
even, ) and without nails or bones.

The vampire's sexuality isn't just the creation of Bram Stoker.
The same is said of revenants all around the world,
And a returning spirit in African cultures needs to
be kept out of the village, because it might come back to
claim its connubial rights. A concept, which
has been continued into vudu.

Myth is full of tales of the liaison between spirits and human
 women. The whole mythology oof the Fallen Angel,
for instance, as a horde of lusting angels were thrown
 out of heaven for desiring to fraternise with human women.
