Beginning Notes: This is an obscure and obsolete word so I am rather uncertain if I had used it in the correct manner, but I have gone where my muses have taken me.
If Jack didn't try to get out of trouble Ianto would probable be convinced that Jack had been replaced. And to be honest I think that Jack likes these little "battles", not only are they are foreplay (to both him and Ianto) but also he enjoys stretching his mind in a "what bullshit story can I come up with now" kind of way.
I love Janto just imagine, how quickly could the sex gas debacle could have been resolved (and without any death) if Jack didn't shove a gas mask in Gwen's face. Well maybe's Gwen would have died but lets face it both of us (and many more) wouldn't think of it as much of a loss.
badly-knitted one would think that you would hold off naming something until you can figure out its gender, or give it a gender neutral name if you can't figure out its gender. Also they captured Myfanwy by sedating him, that's the best time to gender identify a large bird or reptile. (For those interested, you determine the gender of a bird or reptile you put your finger up the cloaca and if you feel a penis, congratulations it's a boy.)
Also I think that is why Jack is so fond of Gwen and lets her get away with murder, is that he views her boundary pushing behaviour as a less evolved, more cruder form of boundary pushing behaviour that he exhibits and that he grew up with. Where as we view it as someone who wasn't given proper boundaries as a child and as a result doesn't believe that boundaries, that rules apply to them. The difference is that Jack knows when not to push and Gwen doesn't. Also Jack seems to be playful when pushing against personal boundaries, as if he acknowledges the line in the sand and is jumping back and forth over it. Where as Gwen just storms past that line, not acknowledging it, and pushing people too far from their comfort zones just to satisfy her desires (her desire to know, her desire to understand, her desire to be acknowledged, her desire to impart her morality of others, her desire to be proven right, etc.).

Captain Jack Harkness was watching Ianto Jones very closely as he loaded the camping gear into the SUV. Or rather he was watching Ianto Jones sublime denim clad arse.
"You know Ianto, there are days when I could just smatch you."
The look that the young Welshman threw him, reminded him that their relationship had new boundaries and he had to be careful when crossing them.
"What, was it something I said?"
But then again boundaries were meant to be pushed against.
"Well it wasn't the most charming offer me fellatio that you have ever thrown my way sir."
"I wasn't referring to tasting you."
"Well if it a sadomasochistic experience you want, you are going to need to ask a lot more nicely than how you did just now."
Ianto Jones smirked as he left Jack Harkness in the Torchwood garage speechless and aroused.

Word: smatch
smatch (noun) : to smack, to taste
End Notes: For the record Ianto has no problems with bondage (as long as he is not being the one tied up) and he is also the owner of a ping pong paddle that has been customised (he replaced the rubber with a nice fluffy fabric and reinforced the handle) so he can "deal" with Jack for the times he gets "out of hand". What else did you think they used the hockey sticks for? And Jack finds Ianto's technical descriptions of sex acts a huge turn-on (hey, we all have our kinks), something that developed after living through a very sexually repressed time period.
I actually have a theory as to why Jack never slept with Gwen. As we saw when she confessed about her affair with Owen, she can't (won't) deal with the consequences of her actions. Gwen wanted to be chased, that way when the affair goes belly up (like it did with Owen) she confessed the affair to Rhys it wouldn't be her fault; "oh he pursued me, he was very persistent, it was only once, I regretted it immediately". And Jack would want to be met half way, he wants to be "the chased" as much as he wants to be "the chaser". Which is why he slept with Ianto, because if "Fragments" and "They Keep One Killing Suzie" is anything to go by Ianto pursued Jack (and I honestly think that Jack wouldn't hold Ianto flirting with him to get into Torchwood against him, he undoubtedly flirted with/slept with marks in his conman days and probably viewed it as some sort of karma).
