I’ve always seen mulder’s sexual humor and his vague come-ons as being protective, nay preventative, of ‘the real issue’. That I can see, but only up to a point (if that makes sense). I figure that after that many years, he's going to reach a place where he might (at least subconsciously) wish to try and almost provoke Scully into some form of action, if only because Mulder is almost always the aggressor in any steps forward they take. Still, I can see the other side of that too, of course.
