I think it depends on the book and the characters. I use profanity pretty sparingly in most of my stories. In His Robot Girlfriend, I think the characters swear two or three times. In the Senta and the Steel Dragon Series, the characters use Victorian British idiom, so even though they are swearing, it doesn't sound like it to American ears. In my latest book Blood Trade, the characters dropped the f-bomb a lot. In fact, when I went back and revised it, I just about doubled the profanity. It just seemed to fit the characters and their world.
Pretty much what I said up above in other words.
