Re: Lecherousness & Bisexuality
I think that's an unreasonable interpretation. In most cultures, the lecherous person would know that both of the potential targets would be far less likely to say yes to a threesome than to a twosome. I don't think it's compulsory to do things that hurt your chances of getting what you want.

I guess maybe it's whoever passes the "more than the briefest" threshold first.

I think the big thing is the longer they are lacking an opportunity to attempt romance, and the longer they fail to succeed when attempting it, to more frustrated they'll get and the more likely they'll be to do something that gets them into all kinds of trouble, like abandon socially acceptable behaviour and make direct passes in societies where you just don't do that, and thus get in duels, or roughed up in a back alley, run out of town, etc.

This isn't a disadvantage of "I'm in love with this particular person" or any other kind of particular obsession. "Making a pass" is apparently pretty blatent if https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/make_a_pass_at is right: "unambiguously indicate interest in sexual activity" That's not generally what you do in a campaign to "win" people via romance. |

GURPS uses euphemistic and old-fashioned language around sex and romance. (Again: a game coming out of the 1980s by a company based in Texas which was almost bankrupted by a Secret Service raid).

Re: Lecherousness & Bisexuality
Yes, but the point is that what he's doing IS definitely making a pass. That was spelled out from the start; the lyrics called him "wolf" and the woman "mouse." And yet making a pass does not seem to entail that he leaps on her immediately, out in public, in front of possible witnesses who might defend her, object, or start a scandal; he clearly waited until he had her alone. "You must make a pass" does not entail "you must make a pass immediately."
