I'm active sexually.. I'd not consider myself a seducer though.
Al lot of -for example- reformed christian housefathers have reproduced 5-10 times without being seducers

That doesn't count.

Come on, read the myths. Or the Cliff Notes. Those gods were not "reformed christian housefathers".

Zeus seduced at least one boy as well. Gaynemede, which as I recall is the word root of catamite as well. So the titans could use the more indiscrimate corruption, targeting both sexes. And all the lovecrafty pretenders could take their cue from Shadow over Innsmouth, the Dunwich Horror and other stories. Dagon is shown to be a virile old man in the movie Dagon as well.

Phoenix

(Okay, Phoenix is a joke.)
Are you sure? Have you heard of Leda and the swan?

Even more fun, imagine if your uberlover God had a chance to spawn little demigod thugs every 9 months after a seducation?

I refuse to drag this any more off-topic than I already have. Sorry K!

One thing that I totally forgot about was that seduction requires stealth in Dom3. Doh. So a lot of the pretenders I initially listed won't work.

Problem with being seduced by a god is that it tends to attract the ire of a goddess -- and boy, could they be vindictive...

If it's in theme I don't consider the lack of stealth a show stopper, although only being useful while besieged doesn't seem very Zeus-like. Perhaps Circe and Dido are closer.
