Autonomous Woohoo

This has just started in my game tonight. So it's likely the results of the latest patch. My sim and his wife are autonomously woohooing every few minutes in the game when they are in a flirty mood. After a few minutes of this, I don't know if I'm really into my sim and his wife woohooing on their own that much. So far they have woohooed in their sauna twice, and in their rocket ship once.
Question though: Does the hot pink lightning bolt mean anything in the game when a couple is woohooing or is it just game effect like the hot pink hearts? I had witnessed a hot pink lightning bolt strike my sim and his gorgeous wife right when they were about to finish woohooing in their sauna. And the bolt of lightning came from a small grey cloud that was in the sauna.

I think it's so cool that sims can woohoo autonomously now. Makes my sims more real. Nice.

And this is why we should always have options to better shape the sim world we play with. /shrug but, I don't know when Maxis is going to understand that. We all play so differently, there's just no way to please us all, but at least with different autonomy options we could make things better suited for individual play styles. I guess it must be time consuming to code, idk.
As for all the hearts and animations and things. Depending on where they woohoo it's a bit different (from what I can tell) and it seems to change slightly depending on how "good" "it" is.
(Though, if it's literally happening every few seconds or minutes, I can see that as being a bug, but who knows.)

I just created a married couple today, Allison and Warren. Allison is both Jealous and a Serial Romantic. The idea is that she's cheating on him left and right, while agonizing over the idea that he could potentially be cheating on her while she's out with some other guy. That's a lot of potential for amusing melodrama, there! And it would all be ruined if right when she sat down for dinner with Warren, one of her lovers dropped by and she autonomously got up from the table to go to the bedroom with him right in front of her husband.

Yeah, don't really like that. Your own sims beds should be out-of-bounds for townie sims to woohoo in. I used to think it was pretty funny watching townie sims in TS3 woohooing in the photo booth but visitors in my sims bed...
I guess I'll have to see that in one of my games to really know how I feel about that but I don't think I'm going to like it. I guess I'll have to start using door locks.

I think it will only get annoying if it is happening way too often. I think once in a while, fine, especially as I can always cancel the interaction if I don't want my sims to that. But if it is happening too often then I don't want to feel like I'm having to 'fight' to get my sims to do what I want them to do.

ETA: in fact, great example this, because this is exactly not the kind of behaviour that suits Bob and Eliza for me. They seem like the 'married for a million years, him not getting any anymore' kind of couple. Them behaving like that would just spoil that image and yes, I mind.
Im a simmer forever
Did your sims sterilize their bed after that? Haha!
Doesn't seem like a bad idea in theory, but EA has always been bad at gauging things like this. Pretty sure they'll overdo it and it'll just become annoying. Like the random sims calling for dates in TS3.
