Bart:
You must have come from a different class of schoolkids. The way I recall it, when I was 15-17 years old, if there were a young but mature, attractive woman who obeyed my every command, I'm not sure if I, or any of my straight male schoolmates, could have resisted the temptation, and I WAS a gentleman (maybe a bit too much of one, according to the girls I dated at the time, who claimed that they had to practically hit me over the head and drag me off to get the response for which they were looking). 

As far as rape goes, I think using Imperious goes well beyond rape.
