I found the dialog... weird. It just didn't ring true. But the kicker was when the lady hosting the party asked the girl if she had had sex with her own father. The girl looks down and say no, but she would have if he wanted to because she loved him that much. The lady says something like 'good for you!'.
I'm pretty sure that it's "Time Enough for Love", the story of Lazarus Long, who lives through 23 centuries. I loved this book as a youth, and maybe this thread has inspired me to finally give it another go.
