Inuus

Ancient Rome

Inuus was a god, or aspect of a god, who embodied sexual intercourse in ancient Roman religion. The evidence for him as a distinct entity is scant. Maurus Servius Honoratus wrote that Inuus is an epithet of Faunus, named from his habit of intercourse with animals, based on the etymology of ineundum, "a going in, penetration," from inire, "to enter" in the sexual sense.
