I actually don't support that conclusion; I think it makes things too easy. Social Engineering offers fairly detailed rules based on the idea that a Very Good reaction is the standard threshold for getting physical. What a Good reaction gets you is a stroll in the moonlight, or private conversation in a hotel room, or "sure, you can buy me a drink."

Of course, much depends also on whether you're offering short-term or long-term sex: a proposition or a proposal, in somewhat old-fashioned terms. Getting someone to agree to a short-term relationship is much faster . . . but if you're dealing with someone to whom any sex entails a long-term relationship, an attempt will automatically fail, too.
