@Party Vanderbilt: 1) Succubi are fictional creatures. Arguing about their wings' functionality is like trying to understand how a bumblebee flies; it may not fly in the same way other things do, but it'll work.

2) The center-of-gravity for women is generally around their hips. Placing the wings just above that would, in theory, give her better control over her flight than if they were higher up. Yes, placing them higher would improve her posture, but then she'd have to deal with her arse swinging around whenever she'd move due to Neuton's Laws of Motion.

Men, however, are more top-heavy, making their general center-of-gravity around their chest. Placing wings at the hips would then make zero sense, since they'd be fighting to stay upright whenever they'd fly. Makes me wonder how the burlier new Alps fly...
