Oh, I absolutely do - the problem is that depicting it in a game is, well, "distasteful" would be too kind. Especially in published material. "Hedonism" is a good idea.

On the subject of trickster rape, it really depends on what you classify as rape - for instance, Uther's deception of Ygraine? Use of love potions or mind control? Both of these cases would nowadays be classified as rape under law, but the line has been less clear in the past and in mythology.
