Odd writing question: how to describe the effect of succubi?
Okay, I'll assume that everyone here knws what a succubus is (a she-demon who feeds on human life force/souls, which she gains by making love to her prey, or sometimes just by physical contact).
This has started a lengthy and mostly on-topic discussion on a forum I attend, and I'm wondering myself: if you were writing about the 'aftereffects', how would you do it?
I was thinking on getting away from the usual 'you turn into a decrepit old man' by arguing that as she drains your life, you grow younger, sliding back towards the non-existence you came from. Admittedly, that will get kinda squick-worthy after a certain point, but then, a succubus is a demon.
If someone can provide their own idea or take on this, I'd be grateful.
