Maybe it's just me being Gay but I've never experienced/seen/etc Freya as some sort of sex-kitten lust Goddess. Edred's "Frolicsome Freya" stuff always creeped me out and when I run into it at moot or on-line(more likely nowadays it still bugs me.
It's not that I see Her as non-sexual. Just the opposite. As a Gay man, Her Sexuality is VERY disturbing. Thing is, I see Her more of the type that jumps a man after a battle, not skipping through a field of flowers followed by Songbirds...then to throw Herself in the arms of a man to Satisfy him. But then again, my view of Her doesn't have any personal sexual overtones;>.
Cheers,

FWIW my dissertation research left me convinced she's more about magic. But of course all the gods are also earthier than your typical USer can handle.

More than that I should not say - my brain is failing to work today.

For some reason some Het men think she's some kind of Sex Kitten Porn Goddess, which I can't find ANY documentation in the Lore for that view;>! It's even sadder that it's guys that normally tout themselves as Lore Nazi-types that believe this...telling me more about their Ideal of Womanhood than anything else.
As I've said in the past, I see Her much more like Alice in the 'Resident Evil' flicks than Suzzanne Summers in '3's Company'....
