Sex
SimDebster:
You do not have to have the Sims relaxing on a bed to get the WooHoo menu item. Once selected, they will go to the bedroom. I only wish that the male Sim would pick her up and carry her to the bed. It would be more romantic (but probably only for the first few times). Once one of my Sims, after selecting WooHoo, headed for the bathroom (guess she really had to pee) and I thought that the action would drop from their queues. To my surprise, once she was finished, the male Sim went to her and hugged and kissed and then they headed for the bedroom. I just love what they have done with this aspect of the game.

My absent-mineded Sim once forgot that he was supposed to be going to the bedroom to woo-hoo with wife, and stood there with a question mark over his head, making a sound something like, "Durrr....." His wife, already on the bed, hollered to him to get over there, which snapped him back into the present; it was great!
@Inge: The game seems to have embraced the concept of casual sex. One can woo-hoo and try for baby without having a romantic interest in the other Sim. In order to get the full range of options, one has to engage in both friendly (get to know) and romantic interactions over a period of time. Each time together is almost like starting over, except from a higher point in the relationship. Also, both Sims need to have their need bars pretty full or they won't get in the mood.
After Cornelia Goth died, husband Gunther was heartbroken. While still in mourning, he met sister-in-law Agnes Crumplebottom on a community lot and cried on her shoulder. They'd developed a good friendship over the course of Sim years. Suddenly Gunther got the want to kiss Agnes. One thing led to another, and they were married the next day. I think this is a good indicator of how important the length of the friendship is. I've never seen romance proceed so quickly for any other Sim couple.

They could have done a lot better with the romantic animations. Compare TS2's couch makeout to TS3's. It doesn't even look like they are ENJOYING it in TS3. And I really miss the marriage proposal animation where the proposee would get all excited and JUMP into the other one's arms. In TS3 its like they are reluctant to touch each other...

I've had meet-to-marry in less than 24 hours, but this was with two sims who shared three traits, had no incompatibles, no other romantic relationships, and the active sim was at level 5 or 6 of charisma, and had the charismatic trait.
Once I've gotten used to how the trees work, romantic relationships aren't hard. What annoys me is that it looks like they tried to make them more complicated, but in the end only succeeded in making them extremely formulaic.
SimDebster:
@MasterDinadan: I agree. I miss the movies for first kiss and woohoo, as well, from Sims 2. But with Sims 3 my Sims take off with the romancing all by themselves once I start them. And once they finished they are not finished. They cannot seem to get enough of each other. I love that. This is what I had hoped TwoJeff's ACR would do, but it never worked that way. I just wish that the Sims now would actually initiate it on their own (just not constantly at each other all day every day as with the ACR). I would like to get surprised with an unexpected pregnancy, one that I did not have to initiate.
Also, is it just me, or do the Sims move around as if they have a stick up their butt? Sims 2 Sims had fluid motions and seemed more human. Sims 3, for me, is like a love-hate relationship. I love it and hate it at the same time. Makes no sense.
