I’m reading this treatise on Demoniality (sex with demons) written by this doctor in 1879 and goddamn it’s like he custom-wrote it to get every modern monster fucker smitten. He’s explaining all he knows about incubi and how they bind humans to them in exchange for magic powers and what a relationship with them is like.

With a few tweaks you could adapt this into a very popular erotic tale, complete with intricate worldbuilding.

Check out this guy from the 1600s speculating about if there’s life on the Moon

It’s called The Discovery of a World in the Moone by John Wilkins

So like in all writings of this type, there’s an introduction telling you what this guy’s attempting to do.

Then he arranges the whole thing into his 13 propositions, like his main points, and has a section under each one where he goes into the evidence he’s found.

The thing I love most about this is in his intro he says that he’s just an amateur who did a brief study of some books and came to this conclusion, this isn’t his field he just thinks it’s neat. Then he says that by talking about it, maybe people that know more will provide more detail correcting him and he can get the brightest minds thinking about this question.
