I was looking up the etymology for Succubus and Incubus to find a gender neutral term, and I found your post. From what I can tell, Incubus comes from in+cubare, Latin for “to lie upon” and succubus from sub+cubare, Latin for “to lie beneath.” Using this knowledge, I made the term Procubus, which should be the equivalent of “to lie beside.” I thought to share it with you, in hopes that you may find it useful.

Hey this is a really interesting concept to consider!  Also takes away the sexism that incu/succubus connotate.  Thanks,

I’ve been using “concubus” for years—that one’s “to lie with.” Same root as “concubine,” actually.

#so if we take ‘concubus’ to be the gender-neutral term for incubus/succubus#does that make a procubus an ace demon that kills people by cuddling them

IT SURE AS HELL DOES NOW

*researches concubus & procubus summoning rituals*

why has no one pointed out that if this is the case incubus doesn’t mean male sex demon it means TOP sex demon and succubus is BOTTOM sex demon and concubus is VERSATILE sex demon (procubus remains the same tho), gender isn’t about whether you top or not

This is the discourse I want. Thanks, Derek
