I read Stardoc some 20 years ago, but it was so bad I still remember it. Family-unfriendly scenes bother me only when they include cruelty against animals (aliens don't count) and frankly I'm a fan of moderate non-con in erotica (in fiction only, of course, never in real life), but Stardoc was IMO rubbish. Implausible non-science (after all, it wants to be a science fiction novel, not fantasy) and totally annoying Mary-Sueish protagonist. Just ugh.
