Sexual Preference Not Changed By Woo-Hooing?

I heard the harps play
I sometimes imagine I hear this sound sometimes in dorms, but I never know for sure. I did come across one weird thing today. I noticed that Don Lothario's son, Adrian (Romance), who I hadn't played in a while (I just can't because he's about to turn into elder and he's SO gorgeous I just don't want him to, but if I prolong it he'll be out of synch with all the other Lothario spawn) ... anyway, I noticed that his last memory was of having an affair with Brittany Upsnott (positive memory!) who is also Romance as I changed her. He's engaged (and also in love with quite a few other Sims) and she's just started living with another Romance Sim (Castor Nova, changed him too!) who she's in love with, plus she has one other love. She has no memory of any recent contact with Adrian. Their relationship is 60/60 (him) and 30/30 her, so they're not even friends. As I recall, she greeted him when he was passing by her house, so I'm wondering if there was some autonomous flirting or something going on. I'm not sure what constitutes an 'affair' for someone who's engaged, but knowing Maxis' logic it was probably nothing more than a wolf whistle.
Brynne:
I know what you mean about not wanting to age the "gorgeous" sims. My avatar (that would be Joe, the hubby in that story), is of a character that has great-grandchildren. My families are all out of sync with each other! But I'm not aging him until maxis adds another age group, so he doesn't have to turn from a young, good-looking sim directly into a hunched-over old guy with an annoying voice.
My Castor Nova is gay and married to Ashley Pitts!
ZephyrZodiac:
I don't want to age any of mine! So I don't - wouldn't be much good at a Legacy challenge, but then, I'm not really into competitions, never have been.
Cassandra Goth is very good at chasing after Romance sims she fancies! In one version of my game, she was married to Beau, and in the Athletic career. One day she brought Daniel Pleasant home from work (he'd had loads of elixir!) and leapt into his arms in front of Beau! Well, Beau went berserk, and would have killed Daniel except Danial had more body points than Beau!
In my present game, she's in the police and for some reason always comes home with any Captain Hero around. Ty Crewe, who's not only gay and married, but has three daughters (2 CAS, one his own after I treated him as female) and is very definitely not interested in females, but it made no difference to her, she followed him everywhere - even when he was pregnant! She'd keep phoning up, or calling round! She eventually took him home from work to her own house, and started flirting with him, got caught by husband Max and thrown out! (He's a Fortune sim, and did very well out of it all, but he was still very upset!)
Family Sims are nearly always home-wreckers in my game!

I had two sims autonomously develop crushes on each other a long time ago. It's the only time it's ever happened, as far as I know.
It could be one of the "bugged" interactions, like teach/play handheld/cheer up, none of which are supposed to be romantic but are accidentally flagged as such. The "No Random Crushes" fixes the teach/cheer up crushes, and the handheld fix eliminates the schizophrenia and handheld crushes.
It is, however, possible for sims to decide to autonomously flirt, but this is often quite rare as it requires a confluence of several traits which normally don't occur: First, a sim has to exhibit a gender preference (they don't come with one, so homemade sims never attempt it). Secondly, the sims have to be unattached. I've actually seen this happen once: Beau Broke decided to spontaneously and deliberately flirt with Lucy Burb during a wedding party. I saw it actually pop up, and paused the game, to look at it in confusion. And maybe X it out. Then I decided, "Nah, why the hell not?", and let them run with it. This is much more likely to occur with Maxian sims, however, for one reason: Maxian premades *DO* ship with a gender preference wired into them. Circe Beaker, for instance, amusingly enough starts out as a lesbian. I saw her do the "attraction" thing....at a FEMALE Romance sim. You can actually confirm this if you dig up a clean Strangetown in SimPE.
Sandilou:
Circe Beaker had a lesbian affair in my original game with a barmaid; it cost her her marriage to Loki, who never forgave her. Does Circe have a tendency to have twins? She had 2 sets; with Loki and with townie Abhijeet Cho.
