succubus:

1. A medieval term for an evil spirit or demon who assumes the form of a woman and is supposed to lie under sleeping people, particularly sleeping men, and have sexual-intercourse with them. Its male counterpart is known as incubus . Plural: succubi. Humorously defined by Roger Mellie in Roger's Profanisaurus (1998) as: ' A phantom night-time cock-sucker once thought to be responsible for nocturnal emissions .' (I do enjoy Roger's version.)

2. The person who assumes the bottom or passive position in sexual-intercourse .
