Noting the usual caveats about Sun County not being the typical solar culture, I think it fits pretty well. De jure, you may be able to have your will of your own chattels (and sue the pants of someone else who does likewise), obviously lust is a bestial emotion, morally speaking, and rape is 'aggravated lust' to say the least, and not just aggravated, but devoid of any of the normal 'coup excuses' for same. The succubus seemed pretty appropriate to me, in that light -- basically it's Lust made manifest.

Cheers,
Alex.
