The difference is that people didn't assume they knew a photograph. If it was done in private, it would still be odd, but no one would have known of Light's existence before Light himself arrived here. However, the goal has already been achieved; had been achieved before the conversation probably, but it had to be cemented. Now that L has verbally agreed to drop the illusions, they can focus on the rest of the conversation.
He also gains nothing by pointing out that even as a human, Light himself finds nothing enjoyable about the idea of sex. Lust controls. The power Misa wields would have likely cast a spell over him as well, had he been suspectable to the same charms that work on most other men his age. It's a relief not to have that burden. Somehow, perhaps because they're so much alike in other ways, he assumed the same of L.
Perhaps the cameras were also easier to handle with that thought. Light wasn't the only person under surveillance, after all.
Both. Bonded and partners. So, he and Myr seem more and more likely. L hadn't put a label on their relationship aside from bonded, but that could be his way of keeping things close to his chest. It's also possible that 'bonded' could just as easily be shorthand for a relationship in this world.
"I am surprised. I never doubted that you were human and felt the same kind of emotions we all feel." As if lust is something Light Yagami is prone to feeling. "But you also don't seem like somebody who'd go that deep with somebody without a close relationship, and you don't invite many people to get close. At least, not in our world. I know it's not the same here. At the least, you have Myr."
