This story has not aged well. It has some interesting ideas in it, but it's... really kind of bad. I did a lot of eyerolling. The protagonist is screwing women right and left, sometimes less than an hour after the previous woman, and (quelle suprise) they are all falling in love with him and acting jealous of each other. The cringeworthy graphic descriptions of the sex were not welcomed by me. The story itself has a lot of non-sexual elements in common with Peter Cawdron's Retrograde, and the latter novel is just so much better.
