For a bit of X-comics' history, the first time that Rogue's powers were inhibited, she and Wolverine were captured in the (back then) anti-mutant nation of Genosha. Sadly, the result of that capture was that Rogue wound up being stripped naked, thrown in a cell (naked), and sexually molested by the Genoshan soldiers/guards (mutants in Genosha were slaves/chattel/property). So Rogue's first sexual experience (she was a virgin, obviously, due to powers) was that of having been raped.

Unsurprisingly, the trauma fractured her mental & emotional state badly; so much so that Rogue mentally buried herself beneath multiple personalities of characters she had previously absorbed, with the dead-at-the-time Carol Danvers persona (Captain Marvel) being in control (mostly).

Obviously, with the decades of consistent presence in X-comics since then to current times, Rogue would survive and recover from that terrible experience. But this does offer a bit of coverage to why comic-book Rogue fears (& thus does not use) power inhibitors. A rape victim generally does keep (or wear) reminders of their trauma.

Oh, and Wolverine did not fare any better. Where-as Rogue was sexually abused, Wolverine had to endure a telepathic mind-raping from a Genosha-brainwashed Psylocke (roughly around the time she was changed from dignified British lady-telepath to sexy psychic ninja)
