Some of humanity’s strangest stories come from mythology, and some of the strangest myths of all involve love and sex. Myths from around the world tell stories involving sex and love between gods and humans and sometimes other creatures. These stories often involve a lot of pathos and sometimes violence and revenge. We hereby present a list of 10 strange myths that are too strange to be true but that may contain kernels of truths about human or divine nature.

10. Who enjoys sex more: men or women?

Zeus and Hera, heads of the Greek pantheon, got into an argument about who enjoys sex more, men or women. Zeus contended women get more pleasure. Hera said it’s men. They asked the long-lived Tiresias of the ancient city of Thebes to settle the dispute.

Tiresias had been a man who committed the abomination of striking a female snake that was mating and spent seven years as a woman for his sin. When he went before Zeus and Hera, Tiresias was now a man again because he later struck a copulating male snake and was returned to his native gender. Tiresias sided with Zeus, saying women enjoy sex nine times more than men. Furious, Hera blinded him. In recompense, Zeus gave Tiresias the gift of prophecy.

The gift of prophecy was ambivalent because people often excoriated prophets and discounted or denied their accuracy. Some stories say Tiresias lived a long life as a gift from Zeus.
