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 . . .

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
