Typically in game design, the very existence of a Seduction skill already 
implies that characters are vulnerable to it. From there many games allow 
one to alter how vulnerable. In point of fact, this concept is found in
most 
games that have combat rules- few feel the need to make every character
list 
the flaw "hurt by sharp pointy things forced into their body". Frankly I 
consider your concept here flawed from the gate.

Beyond that your concept is incorrect as presented. Instead of indicating 
vulnerability (assuming Seduction has a base success rate equal to other 
skills/methods), it indicates hightened vulnerablility. Seduction is more 
effective than bribing, or threatening, or torture. Interesting view of
the 
world there but no matter what one thinks of it- it isn't what you
presented 
above.

Those fond of the classics would also add to Lust the sins of Gluttony, 
Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride.
