Well certainly it isn't something that you just cast willy nilly as it does
do stun damage albeit light, but as a shadowrunner I really wasn't overly
concerned about whether it was legal or not...only cast on an unwilling
target twice I think (and one of those was a teammember for there own
good).

And I wasn't really talking about legality. I'd find it incredibly rude,
almost on the level of rape. Just because it's magically created doesn't mean
you're not responsible for your actions...

I'm just talking about the fact that people are treating lightly something that
to some would really mess them up. A lot of people are really sensitive about
sex, though many don't realize this. They think that everyone would rather be
having sex, because they would, and that anyone would like an orgasm 'free of
charge', and that it's just funny... If you held someone down and stimulated
them (without permission) until they had an orgasm, would it be wrong? Really
wrong? This is the same thing, you just don't have to touch them because magic
will let you do it... Someone did that to me, they'd better watch their back.

I don't think that we have to worry about that.

I don't think that is the case at all, we all know that some people are
more sensitive to that particular topic then others, but know one ever
said that everyone would like and it should be the best spell ever.

Yes, but it would also be impossible in most cases. You were the one to
bring up the mental aspect of an orgasm...you can't force someone to be
sexually aroused...you could tie them down and manipulate all you
wanted, but unless they were in some odd way enjoying it they would not
have an orgasm.

Will do :)
