Yeah, this is just plainly untrue. All it takes is getting their approval anywhere beyond medium (for some even that's not required) and doing their specific personal quest objectives and they are down to fuck IMMEDIATELY. Ironically in my playthrough, despite not once giving them any signals I'm down, the only companion who didn't try to bone down with me was Karlach, the most openly horny one.
I think much of this stuff is still a little bit broken. I barely began a 3rd run through after finishing twice, and those two other times I only got easy, random sex with Lae'zel for my masculinity and Wyll because... IDK. I barely even talked to that dude and suddenly I catch him dancing and he wants to bang.
The people I want to fuck don't give me the time of day, and their approval was maxed out. In the carnival, there's a thing that you can use to find out how close a companion feels about you. I took gale and he was apparently down to clown, but I never actually got any options that led to an encounter.
Plus, between the first two runs, what scenes played and when were totally different. Even without changing much about how I chose things or the order I did them, even minor things like when Gale decides to eat a magic item or when Lae'zel and Shadowhart would argue happened seemingly at random.
At this point, I believe both sides of the horniess argument are true. Some people got stonewalled, others got the pansexual harem.
