Well, it depends on how deep their manipulation went. They could give her a bad experience with a would-be lover or boys/girls, which doesn't need to be as bad as rape, but something that may hit her self-esteem (laughed at in high school, spurned by someone she had a crush on, etc.). I'm not sure if my cynical suggestion is better or worse than the thought of men in their sixties and older giving her memories of sex.
It's true that they could do this, but why would they purposely give someone psychological trauma? I mean, creating memories is one thing, but deliberately giving her bad ones seems extremely cruel, and I can't see them doing that unless they thought they had a very good reason.
Actually, I have seen some stories that do this, where Revan has traumatic memories in her false identity. Unless there is a really compelling reason for the masters to mess her up this way, I just don't think that they would do it.
As far as the old men giving someone memories of sex, I think tradley handled it best in his story Shattered Knight (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1749933/1/) where Revan's memories of sex are really rather vague.
Rebel!Revan is the, uh, archetype?, I'm working with. :D Rebel can mean all sorts of things, though, and there are different degrees of rebelling.
Most versions of Revan seem to be rather rebellious in at least their defiance of the Council, and I think part of the reason is that in the game, some of the dialogue choices are hilariously mouthy, in addition to the fact that Revan was at least rebellious enough to defy the Council and go fight the Mandalorians.
True, there are varying degrees of rebelliousness, and it is possible that a thirty something Revan could still be a virgin. But what I guess it boils down to is this: unless the author takes the time to lay the plausible foundation for why someone like Revan would still be a virgin, then I generally just tune out. And every single time I've seen virginal!Revan in a story, it is usually so she can be deflowered by her one true love, Carth (or at least that's what it seems that the author is trying to do).
