"Also, why am I being propositioned by companions when I have not made any overtures toward them." If you are male, perhaps you are not used to it. Happens to women all the time. And some males.
That's not exactly a good defence for it, though, is it? Unless Larian wants to make some statement about sexual harassment.
For myself the issue with the sequence is simple: companions lining up and stating verbally if I gained enough reputation with them to have an option to sleep with them breaks the verisimilitude of the situation.
