Not the exact words I would have chosen, but yes. Trust is earned, not given freely. Sadly, many prove that indeed the players were right to have been paranoid. Having just rolled up my 4th L5R character for one campaign do to character deaths, I can say with certainty that this one will be designed as close to unkillable as I can fathom and will not be taking chances by being caught alone. It has moved beyond the point of shame on you and now is shame on me for not learning sooner.

Geez, and L5R is a game all about solo situations.

Why are people squicked out by sex in game? (And again, I'm not talking about jumping up on the table and miming your character's actions, or narrating a blow-by-blow account of what happens once the clothes start coming off.)

I imagine they're squicked out because - in general - you have 4-5 dudes around the table, and gamers - again, in general - aren't the most emotionally mature of people.

I'll say that you do have to have the right players if you want those elements in your game.
Not only because of the different stakes it places (less worry about the consequences of a battle axe to the head and more worry of how this emotionally affects my character), but because a group that slides everything potentially uncomfortable into humor will immediately devolve a complex emotional situation into dick jokes.
If your players are more into smashing heads than dealing with complex love triangles, give them heads to smash or the game won't progress at all.

Does that include careful record keeping of the time?

Does deliberately placing a dwarf call girl in the local bordello, with the twist that said dwarf is actually just a human of short stature with a false beard, to wind up the PC Dwarf for lols count as in-game sex? Aaron

Let's be honest, that's not sex in F.A.T.A.L. That's rape. Big differences. The author of Monsterhearts has clearly stated that sex moves only trigger when everyone involved is willing.
