Name five deities for whom lust/physical love is amongst their main tasks or domain.

Okay let's see, uh, <:/
Aphrodite greek goddess of love, romance, sex, beauty.
I think Eros is one greek god of sex and desire.
Does Pan the satyr god, who chases after nymphs and is sexually deviant count as a god?
I remember Kem was some god in Egyptian mythology with an erection all the time that looked like Osiris but wasn't. o___o;
And does Zeus count? Because he was like, the king of having sex with like anything and anyone female. <x}

[Kitalpha Hart]

Zeus was just a horny mofo
