A friend of mine who hasn't yet turned on OSC linked me this insane short story about a guy who gets off on chasing women on the highways of Utah (go figure) until they panic and crash and burn and then lets his little mormons explore the magic underpants until he meets his match in a woman who is doing the exact same thing.

I respect that he is twizted as gently caress. His kid lit. made me the man I am today 2 4 8 16 32 64 shower rape

This but Heinlein novels with characters who have sex with their starships or found hippy communes where everyone has orgies and telekinetic powers.

Besides Starship Troopers I think I've read finished one other Heinlein novel. His self-insert was going to hook up with this 15 y/o but that was a little iffy so she was frozen or there was a time warp so he could bang her, in space

Thoughtful man though, he predicted the auto-highway and loving POWER ARMOR!!!

A significant amount of Heinlein brainspace seems to have been dedicated to justify his protagonists hooking up with children and/or relatives. 100% of this stories with time travel have this, and he wrote quite a few.

See, with Asimov it would be someone with autism traveling around space meeting those characters, and then also explaining why it's okay to someone else.

He basically made a hobby of creating seemingly obvious self insertion characters who were overlapping yet also mutually exclusive varieties of insane.

My first exposure was his fairly reasonable older stuff like Tunnel in the Sky and Citizen of the Galaxy. Then I found Starship Troopers, then Time Enough for Love. Basically imagine a thirteen year old laying in a hammock making the :pwn: face for days at a time. That summer owned.

No they aren't and no they don't.

Examples I've read relatively recently: " '—All You Zombies—' " and The Door Into Summer.

In " '—All You Zombies—' ", the protagonist takes his younger self to the past to gently caress his even younger self so she can become pregnant with him, then takes his newborn self to the orphanage to be raised there, then goes back to his younger self to recruit him to the timecops.

In The Door Into Summer, the 30-year-old protagonist makes his friend's 12-year-old step-daughter, with which he has mutual attraction, promise she'll look him up after he goes through cold sleep so they can get married when she's old enough - but not too old, as he makes her promise she'll go into cold sleep when she's 21.

Neither of them have anything to do with Lazarus Long's intergenerational fuckfest, but both are messed up in their own rights.

I initially had "most," but figured, "No one's going to argue about the 6% of his output relevant to this discussion that doesn't touch on Long." This is the internet, so that was my own fault.

I can't tell if you're saying the two you listed aren't good, or that none of them (including the Lazarus Long stories) are good. The Long books range from pretty good to phenomenal.

The Long books I've read were not very good. The Cat Who Walks Through Walls I didn't finish.

Of the ones I mentioned, well, the first is kind of a conceptual piece so okay, the second one is actually well written, if didactic, and has interesting ideas, but the icky part really stood out.

Guess you just don't like them. I disagree, and think they are mostly OK, and a couple of them are phenomenal. They're full of the transgressive themes that characterized a lot of his books, but I don't find that bothersome.

As someone who used to be a 12 year old girl it is entirely possible for a girl that age to have a crush on a grown rear end man. It is also possible for a girl that age or even considerably younger to act 'flirty' because kids enjoy imitating adult behavior. In neither case is the girl desperately craving the D though.

It would be pretty weird for her to stick with the crush until she's 21 and then go into hypersleep or whatever the gently caress. The thing about a crush is that it isn't really about the other person as a person but as an idea, and the idea that appeals to you when you're 12 is different than the ideas that appeal to you at 20. When you are 12 the boys your own age are dumb and icky and probably eat bugs, so the idea of a grown rear end man who has his poo poo together and drinks wine looks good. By the time you're 21 you know the grown rear end men who hang out with 12 year olds definitely do not have their poo poo together.

So, yeah, this is a grown rear end man who observed normal adolescent behavior and completely misunderstood it.
