In a real game I would ask for this information from the player - and
in a contest between player characters get input from both players.
As we don't have that for the purposes of this discussion I am
assuming that it is supposed to undermine the target's will to resist.
Feel free to disagree with the opinion, like I've said I have
problems with the idea myself.
