    I mean Nivens ringworld was basically a freeuse sexual fantasy/immortality fantasy thinly disguised as science fiction. Pretty much all science fiction from 1960 to 1990 was about weird sexual taboos with aliens.

    God damnit. There's a book I read in high school about a Lion-Race Alien that is a member of the praetorian guard for this evil emperor guy. He ends up falling in love with the emperor's newest concubine, an alien lady from a water-world where you all just walk around nude because you only think you're naked when you're not covered in water. And then, when the emperor does some sicko sex-pest shit, he ends up leading a revolt that brings down the kingdom.

    It was so fucking horny. Like, crazy horny. I cannot remember the name of the book. Something that sounded like Debt of Honor or Honor Guard or .... something with Honor in it.

    This looks like a book I'd find on a shelf in middle school and read while I was supposed to be studying math or whatever

    I wonder how many pulp sci-fi volume-ones never got a volume two.
