That he should act instead of think?

Yeesh. I think these two should end up together before the story ends, but here and now? Bad idea. Kal isn't fully acclimated to Earth yet, and Lois has no idea what having sex with her will obligate him to do. He might view it as a permanent mating and bonding ritual, he might view it as a pleasant way to pass the time, or something in between. She doesn't know!

Of course, this is also the first time he's been hit directly in the face with Lois' sex appeal. And that's a pretty hard shot to absorb, even for Superman. The next chapter should be very interesting.

Very interesting, indeed.
