Potentially some leakage from Heinlein's later works?

Sorta, not really.

The book is notable for its almost complete lack of sex on any level. The protagonist goes on a date with a woman at one point. That's about it. A shower scene where everyone is naked but nobody is horny would fit right in.

Stranger in a Strange Land, OTOH, goes completely the other way. I was reading that book on vacation, and a friend picked it up and peeked at a page about halfway through and started reading it out loud. The last half of that book is basically pornography, so . . .

Oh, I know, I was more thinking that the film makers might have thought that they could add some stuff from his later works since they basically completely changed the movie script from his book.
