Counterpoint - part of Angela\'s request is that she has been trying to \"seduce\" Diego for a long time, and the pheromones are the only thing that will make it work. Talking to him before the quest has him explain that she has been flirting with him for quite a while and that he\'s turned her down every single time. It\'s clear that he doesn\'t want to abandon his priesthood - even if he sort of kind of likes her, he doesn\'t want to break that celibacy vow. Then Angela puts on the pheromones and suddenly he\'s more agreeable. Pheromones work by altering brain chemistry; it\'s not like she\'s just wearing a nice outfit or being especially charismatic, she is flat-out using chemicals that up his sex drive to make him want to bang her more.
Not to mention the fact that she never tells him or anyone else about the pheromones. It would still be kind of creepy, but if she said at any point \"Yeah, I\'m trying this new perfume made from mutant ant pheromones or whatever\" then he\'d at least be fully aware of the situation - but she intentionally hides the fact, making the whole thing seem deceptive and manipulative. This whole situation, in my eyes at least, is running on the same principle as [[ButLiquorIsQuicker getting someone drunk so that they\'ll say \"yes\" to something they normally wouldn\'t]], which in most western countries can legally constitute DateRape.
