Was Ashtaroth A Watcher? Options

Now here's a theory I was considering (another weird one). The watchers are known to have taught mankind all sorts of things, many of them bad (prostitution,sodomy, and bestiality were a few). Within this framework it would be consistent in viewing Ashtaroth as a demon who identifies himself as female (ie: he is homosexual, as were many of the watchers in the book of Enoch). It is my belief that the editors of the Key of Solomon and other Goetic texts knew full well who Ashtaroth claimed to be, but that they (rightly) placed him as male for the skilled magician to discern. Your thoughts?

Here's our man:

Apparently I was confusing him with a quiet different demon:

spirits are immaterial, above sex, but I believe they are essentially male in character (all of them) though they may claim otherwise.That is my belief, which of course will go under the so called Judaeo-christian slant (how else can you view these beings if I may ask by the way?). Interesting to note that according to the above description he claimed to receive an unjust punishment. Smash, you have invoked or evoked this being, can you tell me why?

I called him several times to help me make money and to develop certain psychic skills mostly of a Vampiric nature but also to know the future. He was very nice to me and very helpful. Of course he is a demon so I was very hesitant to trust him and it seemed that perhaps him being so nice could be some sort of set up. After I had gained what I wanted I stopped calling him as I felt developing a friendship with a demon could be unhealthy.

Regardless Astartoth was very cool with me and I really like him. Wherever he is I wish him the best.

Smart man.
