      They go on top, then bottom then top again or vice versa.

    In D&D lore (and probably other lore as well) a succubus can change into an incubus and vice versa. They can choose however they look and decide if they are a top or a bottom.

    Succubi and Incubi are genderless. They take the form you are most likely to sleep with in that given moment.

      I mean, they don’t exist anyways and someone made that up at some point so why not make up another cooler version.

    The only issue I have with the tops/bottoms interpretation is that at least some depictions incubi/succubi have them as the same demon - the succubus will extract material, then inject it as an Incubus, which is how baby demons are made.

    That’s just one interpretation of them, though, go wild with it!

      Incubus is now a task. I’m incubussing tonight, but sucubussing tomorrow.

    Hmmm I don’t speak Latin, but if the word has the same meaning as Italian, “incubare” is more “to hold inside”, see incubator.

      The Italian must have shifted in meaning then, since the Latin seems to be “lay on or in”. English “incubate” comes from this meaning in the sense of (hens) laying on eggs.

    How about those who at times lie under and then lie on?

    “inter-”, “trans-,” or “pan-”?

    “inter-cubus,” “trans-cubus”, and/or “pan-cubus”?

    ​

    (maybe “omnicubus”)

      Instead of coming up with labels just ask the demons what they want to be called.

      I always liked “Fuccubus/fuccubi” for gender-neutral sex demons.

      con = ‘with’, cubius (or whatever hell-declension Latin has in any specific context) = ‘lie down’
