I don't think of the people I've played with as prudes, but it's not a skill that's I've seen used much. I can only recall one PC who was really designed around high Sex Appeal, a courtesan / assassin in a fantasy game. And that game was more focused around combat than interpersonal relations, so it didn't come up very much in play. Ended up being more of a background / job skill rather than something that got rolled against a lot.

I think of Sex Appeal as a skill that works better in private than public, so maybe better in a one-player campaign than in a game with a party that mostly stays together. Hard to seduce the guard with your five buddies standing a few hexes away, trying not to snicker.
