Maybe that was Nathan's wish. To do whatever he wanted to do and not have to face any consequences. To be able to get away with anything. I think that as long as Nathan lives to MOCK another day he will consider that "getting away with it." That's the only way I can figure that his power in any way relates back to his character.
I know! Me too! I am excited about this and about Lost Girl.
You sort of reminded me of lost girl when suggesting what Alisha could do with her power. The lead character in that, Bo, is a succubus and that's exactly what she does with her power. Only it's far more controlled and useful. She literally sucks energy from people when using it, so all of those people Alisha slept with without being able to control herself would have ended up dead. NOT SO GOOD. It isn't just sex with Bo, it's touch, but with touch, she has to actively engage her power and it's completely voluntary. Like in the first episode she touches the waitress' hand and persuades her to give them a free lunch. That kind of thing.
