I think they didn't bother to deal with the potential issues because they didn't consider it reprehensible or rape. Which makes me want to slug them in the face, but hey. LotS = creepy consent issues.

Denna did nothing for me. Their handling of her character and the Mord-Sith in general is just kind of awful. Kahlan in red leather, though...that was when I understood the appeal of BDSM for the first time.
