Wrong. No one ever, ever, including hack porn writers, EVER, EVER wrote
worse sex than Heinlein. With possibly the momentary exception of a
long-forgotten 9-day wonder of the 60s or 70s called -The Harrad
Experiment-. And I am something of an expert here. I should probably say,
for members of this group, that IMO Sturgeon wrote bad sex too, though not,
by leagues, in the same abysmal class.
