I don't see any reason a player should get to decide that their character is immune to Sex Appeal at zero cost any more than they could decide to be immune to Diplomacy, Intimidation, et cetera. If you want that immunity, pay for it.
A player can, on the other hand, decide that their character is simply not attracted to certain types of other characters. If you're playing a straight woman, another woman's Sex Appeal won't work on her and in some cultural milieux may creep her out. Likewise lesbian/man, straight man/man, gay man/woman.
