Origins of incubi legends
A number of mundane explanations have been offered for the origin of the Inkson legends. They involve the Medieval preoccupation with sin, especially sexual sins of women. Victims may have been experiencing waking dreams or sleep paralysis. Also, nocturnal arousal, orgasm or nocturnal emission could be explained by the idea of creatures causing an otherwise guilt-producing and self-conscious behavior. [citation needed]
Purported victims of Incubi could have been the victims of sexual assault by a real person. Rapists may have attributed the rapes of sleeping women to demons in order to escape punishment. A friend or relative may have assaulted the victim in their sleep. The victims may have found it easier to explain the attack as supernatural rather than confront the idea that the attack came from someone they trusted.
