1. That is an intended behavior.
2. I understand it can be confusing and once again, a rework for yellow medkits is planned for the next update. They will prevent player from entering this state upon use, rather than just removing it. As such a player won't be required to guess when to use it, they will use it at any point they want.

Well thats good, yellow medkit gets some patching. It gave me hell trying to use it in the game. well until I accidently discovered what uses it does. but it does mostly prevent horny state to begin with the only problem is it takes to long to do it. (and the other one you already know of) so thank you much. But, uh. Can you at least make ONE condition where horny wolves breeding you won't soft lock you? Yellow med kit is a good place to focus the idea if I'm honest. And you did say it prevents soft locks. Your words not mine.
I don't believe discussing linguistics is of great benefit here. Many systems are developed ad hoc so the rules outlined are subject to change. There may be benefit in preventing such softlocks, but for now it's simply not the focus of this rework nor update. It may be worth revisiting in the future.
