From a response to a reddit post.
There is a thing, called unrequited love. CC's geass made them love her, not her love them. Geass works in one sided way, not in a mutual way.
If Lelouch geass can compel people to literary kill themselves or betray everything they care for. Then sure enough CC's geass will allow her to get free gifts from people around her.
People gave her free stuff, hoping she will sleep with them, she betrayed their expectations. Love is blind sometimes, it makes people delude themselves. I heard stories of that happening IRL without geass involved.
That is why they all got very angry when CC lost her geass after getting Code of Immortality. They all suddenly realized they were wasting their time on a women who will never love them back and decided to kill her for that.
Besides it said love, not lust or sex. It can mean platonic love as well. Not platonic between Lelouch and CC, but between CC and everyone else.
Sure many of horny redditors would have used the geass to sleep around like no tomorrow, but CC might have been different about it. Its like people say that all Libras die of venereal diseases, but actual Libras are not as promiscuous as legends claim they are.
If you take CC on her own merits, she is not the sleep with everyone around type. She is very private and loner by nature.
