The mention of rape in the artical has brought up some seroius dicussion here, about how it has effected player and groups, and how sexual content has done so as well. There are not many games RPG's that contain a way of dealing with either subject within there worlds or genre. Vampire is probably the biggest game that these problems can arrise in, as Vampires are a creatures closely assotiated with sex and eroticism, the way Vampires feed is discribed to be highly plesurable to both "sucker and suckee". I think that games such as this are the better choice for gamers who wish to persue plots and stories that have sexual themes running through them, mainly because you can use the Vampire as a vehical for you thoughts. A rape can be contextualized as a violent feeding ect, without the actual act of a rape taking place, thus covering the subject without having to roleplay a very disturbing and violent event. Hope this makes sense, so to rap this up, find a game that lends itself to the subject you wish to cover, I guess, and always be sure that your players will be comfortable with what you run.
