Clark is busy pacing, not knowing when Lois will come out of the bathroom, and is too distracted by his own naughty thoughts to realize she had come out and fell asleep on his bed.
Based on the way she woke up, it looks like she's been asleep for a while. But regardless, if she has been asleep for any length of time, even just a half hour, Clark should have enough time to cool down enough to have the sense not to actually go for it. That he did at all shows that he's incredibly weak-willed and selfish. It's also insulting to Clark to think that he's incapable of resisting Lois just because she's coming on to him pretty strongly. Clark should have stronger principles than that. It's not just a matter of whether he should sleep with his friend. It's a matter of whether he should sleep with her when she's drugged and not in her right mind.


"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)
