Sex and norse myths

Loki kink shamed everyone for having sex that one time. so intense kinkshaming it started ragnarök

Otherwise ?????

(also loki had sex with 1 horse, and heimdall had 9 moms)

I think its like mentioned one time in one poetic verse (MIGHT even be a kenning. Idk. Too tired to look), and then Basically Never Mentioned Again

Just Little Fragmented Norse Sagas Things

(That is, it is one of those things were one suspect there is a deeper story behind it, but that story is lost to the ages so now its ????)

In Norse mythology, the Nine Mothers of Heimdallr are nine sisters who gave birth to the god Heimdallr. The Nine Mothers of Heimdallr are attested in the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson; in the poetry of skalds; and possibly also in a poem in the Poetic Edda,
a book of poetry compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional
material. Scholars have debated what being “born of nine mothers”
implies and have sought to connect the notion to other European folk
motifs. Scholars have theorized that Heimdallr’s Nine Mothers may be
identical to the Nine Daughters of Ægir and Rán, who personify waves. In turn, Heimdallr would be born of the sea. (x)

I was also too tired to summarize myself, so I looked it up. XD I had forgotten about this, but I’m glad I did look for it because this picture of baby Heimdall riding into the world from the sea is amazing and everyone should see it:
