I... want to say yes. Just because there have been numerous times where powerful telepaths have been established to be able to psychically do things to people, that their physical bodies react (physical manifestations of injuries encurred during a psychic attack). Hell, Emma bragged during Morrison's run about knocking out the press assembled outside the school with the throes of ecstasy. So...
In the biblical sense, it's not. It's not just "impure thoughts", though. It's as real as the real thing can get, if a telepath wants it to be.
Let's just rate it somewhere in or around a handy, and call it a day.
