Cucumbers - Is it advisable to pinch of the first fruits and flowers, like with courgettes?

My little cucumber plants ('patio star', a small variety from sutton seeds) are starting producing the first flowers and fruits. It looks like they are all female flowers and I think this variety is self pollinating.
I read that for courgettes one needs to remove the first flowers and fruits to encourage further production.
Is it the same with cucumbers, or I can let them be?

Thanks for any advice!

Well personally I'd like to get the plant established before letting it fruit, so yes, I'd be inclined to pinch off the first few.

 

Thanks both!
I'll pinch them off then, even if my kid and wife will be grumbling
They are amazingly fast growing, I did not expect that.
