A succubus is not the embodiment of sexuality, but the embodiment of the _fear_ of sexuality. So it is highly relevant to an age group where sexuality is often viewed with a mixture of fear, disgust and fascination. You really don't have to bring sex explicitly into the picture at all. Just write a character who the protagonist finds horribly and unstoppably fascinating and compelling, and yet is simultaneously scared of and disgusted by. On the other hand, it's difficult for me to envision such a character reformed into a truly PG love interest. Dangerous, inappropriate, and untameable are among its core characteristics.
