If you ask me, that's about ALL he is showing these days. I really liked the Lazurus Long material, party because it did handle sexual issues well. But his latest two books, Number of the Beast and Friday, deal only with such issues and use the plot to tie together various encounters and discussions on the subject. Heinlein once showed us that he was a good author, he then showed us that he was very liberal with regards to sexual mores, hopefully he can now go back to being a good author. It might be point out that two of my friends in high school read Number of the Beast and Friday as pornography, they did not enjoy science fiction for the most part. -- David C.
