Just a couple thoughts, in brief, after talking with my wife about this (I'm fairly sure you're on top of this V, I just want to say them to get them out, natch):
1. Get female advice/input/playtest. It's easy to assume, and hard to apologize.
2. Rape is not just something men do to women.
3. Neither is torture, and it is related, and does have sexual connotations.
4. This game sounds cool.
5. I just got done playing a Feudal Irish one-shot with my mother in law, and the setting brought out some good issues that are related but not identical. (I'm in the slow process of talking about it on Yud's Dice.) It was a fun experience, but still and all, I somehow don't see these as being two great tastes that taste great together. Sometimes just being adults around a table isn't the end all be all of dealing with issues like this.
