I think it works because the author keeps with the premise of its a weird ritual that all padawans go through and Obi-Wan is having trouble with it. The fact that it's a *sex* ritual doesn't distort the story -- Obi-Wan's trouble and the conflict of the story would be the same if it was an endurance ritual.
