I can be as PC as the best of them, but I always saw this song as a seduction duet for two equals (the line about what's in the drink suggests the woman still has control of her faculties). It is from a time when you couldn't simply write "Let's Stay the Night Together." It's a song for sophisticated adults, who enjoy a nightcap, a cigarette, and whatever else may happen. I don't find it "rapey" at all.
