It is (IMHO) one of the best Heinlein short stories, and it's all about the sex (and sex change too, for that matter). If questions about this story's use of sex issues were to be banned, SF.SE would stop being a useful resource to me. | |

As long as there is no objective reason a topic should not be discussed. I.E. how big is Jabba the huts penis is a bad question primarily because any and all answers would be entirely based upon conjecture rather than evidentiary points. Likewise the question of Leia and Jabba could possibly be supported with textual evidence from interviews, quotes from the movie, etc. | |
