  • Chin, together with Cu, Cavil ('idol'), and Maran, is mentioned as the name of the male deity said to have demonstrated sexual intercourse with other male deities and humans. In describing the customs of the Mayas inhabiting the Verapaz province (including the Alta Verapaz and Baja Verapaz) of 16th-century Guatemala, Bishop Bartolomé de las Casas mentions sexual relationships, regulated by customary law, between unmarried young men and boys, as well as similar relations prevailing among adolescents receiving instruction in the temples. Chin, is said to have demonstrated sexual intercourse with another 'demon', and thereby to have introduced such relationships. De las Casas writes "From that time on some fathers gave their sons a little boy to be used as a woman; and if someone else took the boy, they demanded pay as is done when someone violates another's wife." Institutionalized pederastic prostitution, including transvestism, is recorded in 17th-century Spanish reports of the Itzá Mayas living in the Petén. Among the Classic Period scenes found in a cave of Naj Tunich is a depiction of a naked, sexually excited male embracing a nude Maya nobleman, possibly by way of initiation. (en)
  • Chin, junto con Cu, Cavil ('ídolo') y Maran, se mencionan como el nombre de la deidad masculina en la mitología maya, que es representada teniendo relaciones con personas de su mismo género. Al describir las costumbres mayas de los habitantes de Verapaz, Bartolomé de las Casas lo describe "Teniendo relaciones sexuales con otro 'demonio', por lo tanto, él ha introducido tales relaciones". Al describir las costumbres de los mayas que habitan en la provincia de Verapaz (incluidas Alta Verapaz y Baja Verapaz) de Guatemala del siglo XVI, el obispo y cronista menciona las relaciones sexuales —reguladas por el derecho consuetudinario— entre hombres y niños solteros, así como relaciones similares entre los adolescentes que reciben instrucción en los templos.​​​ La prostitución de pederastia institucionalizada —incluido el travestismo— se registra en los informes españoles del siglo XVII de los mayas itzá que viven en Petén. De las Casas escribe: "A partir de ese momento, algunos padres le dieron a sus hijos un niño pequeño para que lo usaran como mujer; y si alguien más se llevó al niño, exigieron el pago como se hace cuando alguien viola a la esposa de otro". Entre las escenas del Período Clásico encontradas en una cueva de Naj Tunich hay una representación de una criatura masculina desnuda y excitada sexualmente que abraza a un noble Maya desnudo, posiblemente a modo de iniciación.​​​ (es)
