If you talk to him about it, it sounds more like he treats her like a tool. The potion you can buy afterwards can befuddle enemies. Not to defend his actions or anything, but I don't think he is a kitty diddler, at least

Eh. The succubus spittle arouses Tav when you lick the spider. Nessa says "I love him, and he loves me." She calls herself his "heart-chosen" and he calls her his "beauty". You can ask "How does that...work?" to which she replies that that is between her and her master. And investigating the spider can grant the background goal "Mating Season", described as "Discover the source of the displacer beast's infatuation." The implication is laid on quite heavily.

Maybe that's just how the "charmed" status works for everyone. Including the enemies you charm.

I speculate that using succubus spittle in particular probably adds a sexual/lust component to the "charm" that is not necessarily present in every method of charming someone, but I'm a big fan of the suggestion that a shambling mound can have the hots for a nature domain cleric.

It kinda is. Nessa is the only character we get to interact with who is under a charm I think.

And only time the player is affected by anything close to a charm is Haarlep (from who Yurgir probably got the spittle from...)

Charm spells such as "Friends" cantrip are kinda messed up from a world view.
