Demons are fallen angels.
Angels are pure spirits.
Pure spirits have no bodies and do not reproduce.
Medieval Mythology
Demons in male form, incubi, impregnate women.
In female form, succubi, they take semen from men.
Merlin was a son of an incubus.
The mythology is relevant to:
Poul Anderson's Operation Chaos;
James Blish's Black Easter and The Day After Judgment;
Mike Carey's Lucifer -
- so it might be discussed further here but not tonight. What a day!
From delusion, lead us to truth.
From darkness, lead us to light.
-adapted from Brhadaranyaka Upanisad.

Kaor, Paul!
Yes, unfallen angels, as well as the devils, are pure spirits with no bodies.
Yes, "Operation Incubus," the third part of OPERATION CHAOS, features an incubus.
Ad astra! Sean
