The Topic: Heinlein

__
So, since there seem to be a lot of questions on here about science fiction, or at least about sci-fi, I thought that I'd ask one too. I just finished reading Heinlein's _The Number of the Beast_ and I had previously read _Stranger in a Strange Land_. Although I enjoyed his prose style, I'm curious if maybe there are any of his books which don't include all the main characters running around naked all the time, being polyamorous, and convceiving lots of children, generally none of which ever leave the womb by the end of the novel? I mean, I don't have anything against nudity in general, but I was hoping that maybe I could read something of his without him shoving his personal fetishes in my face. Any suggestions?

Heinlein books are all about him waving nudity and sex in your face. It's escapist nerd fantasy, and if there are 2 things nerds want they are:
1) To have a spaceship
2) To have sex

Probably in that order.

If you want a good Heinlein book that is very light on the sex, try A Door into Summer.
