Erotic Mythology 🌈Let's start off #PrideMonth with two bums instead of one for #BumDayMonday, and it's the beautiful buttocks of sleeping #Hermaphroditos and the lovely posterior of #Antinous at that!
I was so busy I forgot to post gorgeous #Hermaphroditos yesterday for #BumDayMonday!
It's not possible to see from his perspective, but Hermaphroditos is two-sexed and has a penis. And a truly callipygian backside 🥰
It's the Day of #Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏
"Engendered form the sea-foam, we are told she [#Aphrodite] became the mother by Mercurius [#Hermes] of the second Cupidus [#Hermaphroditos]."
Cicero, De Natura Deorum 3.21-23

There is more to #Hermaphroditos, the child of Hermes and Aphrodite, than Ovid's rapey version in his Metamorphoses. Find out more about this fascinating bi-sexed deity:

Erotic MythologyJune is the best month to join my #Patreon: not only will there be a story featuring the two-sexed deity #Hermaphroditos, I'm also pausing billing for July, so you get 2 months at the price of one. 🙂
There won't be a new story in July but a catalogue of 87 stories and 36 non-fiction articles should help bridge the gap. I write in about equal parts #mlm, #wlw, and wlm/mlw.
#Hermaphroditos is more than the rapey #myth told by #Ovid. Find out about the powerful two-sexed deity, child of #Hermes and #Aphrodite, here:

"You'll be a stupidly horny girl in no time." Hermaphroditos nuzzled her cleavage. "Such succulent breasts. Truly a marvel." They stuck out their tongue and, with a pointed tip, tasted the hardened teat.
"Oh by the wings of Eros!" Kharikleia exclaimed, as if fire burnt from the god's mouth.
#Hermaphroditos puckered their plump, red lips and kissed the slope of the breast, still amazed at the incredible softness.

That obviously surprised #Hermaphroditos.
"Did you tell my brothers not to sleep with mortals as well?"
Aphrodite stroked their cheek.
"I did. And I especially warned Phobos and Deimos. It's not nice to experience sheer terror while making love."
"So... you think I might scare the mortals. Or scar them."
"It is always a possibility," #Aphrodite admitted. "A young deity can lose control of their powers and scare, hurt or even kill a mortal."
Using they/them for #Hermaphroditos:
Hermaphroditos was not meant for the bustling life of their father, #Aphrodite was sure of that. The bi-sexed youth was of such gentle nature as to reconcile lovers or comfort those whose love remained unrequited. They were not as mischievous as #Eros, wildly shooting arrows like a young Ares. No, Hermaphroditos had more in common with Anteros, the less impulsive of the twins. They made for a beautiful trio.
