I too had issues with Lazarus Long - found it “titillating” all the same, but would have never admitted it due to same sort of upbringing/era - born in ‘52 when there were stigmas that helped keep society a bit more decent than what we sludge through these days. Heinlein and others of the day helped form my mind into a thinking entity and I’m grateful to those visionaries.
Know just what you are saying, trebb. While in an intellectual and philosophical point of view I can see the point that carnal relations in the future between siblings some two thousand odd years apart in age may be a foregone matter of no consequence, but it still rankles my morals set in stone back in the 1950s.
Maybe if I live to the age of The Senior... I may change my mind-- But I doubt it.
Yet you have to admit, Maureen Johnson Smith Long was one hot... momma!
